Great family friendly place. You can tell they care for the kids plus its affordable and they will work with you. Love how it is a family owed business and their whole family is very involved.

Was a bit worried at first with my kiddo never being in any after school program or extracurricular activity, but the staff was super friendly and patient with my head strong child...lol...he had a rough start since it was new to him but now he enjoys it and can't wait to do his lessons every weekday. I highly recommend Saldivar Martial Art.

We have been part of the Saldivar Martial Arts family on Mainland for 5 years now, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Both of my children started here as beginners and are now brown belts actively preparing for their black belt tests. The environment is incredibly family-friendly and strikes the perfect balance between teaching strict discipline and respect, while still keeping classes fun and engaging for the kids. Over the years, they have participated in both the after-school program and the Taekwondo classes, and the experience has been phenomenal. One of the best parts about Saldivar is the amazing peer support—the students truly lift each other up and encourage one another to succeed. If you are looking for a martial arts school that builds character, community, and confidence, this is it.

This is such a family friendly environment! My kids have been attending classes for 2 years now and have grown so much, in both strength and character. The after school program is so helpful to working parents. I know my children are loved and cared for at Saldivar. The family along with all their instructors and staff are kind, intentional, and skilled. I love that Saldivar Martial Arts is so rooted in their faith. They don't push it on you, but rather invite you in through their actions. They live God's Word every day, in every encounter. Plus the fun events they host are always a good time!

I recently signed my elementary aged child up for their after school program. The family that owns this place are SO genuine and sweet! The teenage daughter helps out and provided the tour. She is an absolute doll! The prices. I had my kid in after school daycare, and I'm saving $200 a MONTH with her being here! She's payed attention to, she's learning a level of respect that no parent can teach their child. She's stimulated and getting exercise and being shown an amount of kindness and understanding you rarely find anymore. I cannot stress enough the personability this family has. People of all ages can learn here. They have a gym for members, for family members of members. They have women's defense classes! They have so much here, and I am a little bitter about leaving this review because this little gem is amazing. But I also cant keep it to myself because everyone deserves diamonds ^.^
