Derderian Academy of Martial Arts

My son's experience here has been terrific and he has increasingly, as he's advanced, been bringing the discipline home and exporting it to his other interests.

These karate classes are incredible for children, my son has learned a lot here and above all self-control and a lot of discipline, what I really like is Sensei Susan, incredible patience with the little ones, she is a sweetheart.

Sensei Raffi and Sensei Susan are incredibly kind and inclusive, they are also very understanding and supportive of each child and their family.

After spending more than 20 years studying a traditional Japanese martial art, I was blown away by his skill and the applicability to my primary style.

Sifu Raffi has a way of teaching and expressing martial arts that is engaging and digestible for students.

All the instructors are extremely skilled but, even more importantly, they are great teachers, very personable, very patient and apply very timely humor to make the classes even more fun.

My 7 year old daughter has been taking classes here for about a year now and she loves it.

Welcoming, patient, and overall great instructors and you can't beat the pricing!

From the start of our membership it was evident that Dederian is a karate school whose primary focus is on the relationship between the martial art and the student before the business aspect.

Raffi and team are so kind and patient, while instilling great values and discipline.
