About the provider

Danny Trujillo is the owner and head instructor. He is a 7th-degree black belt and has over 40 years of experience. The academy says it began in 1983 and notes that it is grounded in community and connection, with family-friendly events, in-house tournaments, workshops, community outreach, and students and families forming lasting friendships.

The source says the academy is ego-free, respects individuality, avoids one-size-fits-all instruction, and treats everyone like family. It offers a 2-week trial.

What families say

“I’ve always thought my son would love karate but he was adamant he did not want to try it. I finally convinced him to go to a trial session and within ten minutes Sensei Zion had him hooked. He says he loves karate now and has been practicing his moves all over the house.” — Amity S.

“We always feel welcome and wanted when we are there. As a parent I genuinely feel like my son's success matters and he is not lost in the crowd. I've seen his teachers during class give one on one help to not only my son but other students and that is so important and wonderful to see.” — Dorothy
