My son has been taking Karate lessons at Sandoval Karate Chandler for a couple of years now and loves it. The facility has experienced some attrition in terms of instruction staff, but the teachers that are there now are wonderful and the children are very receptive to the instruction they receive. Mr. Hernandez is a joy and holds the children accountable but still allows them to be kids. The school teaches discipline and respect in addition to the wonderful lessons of self defense and karate. My son's confidence has sky rocketed and he truly enjoys going. Jenn, at the front desk, always has a smile on her face and is always very pleasant with everyone, even at times when everyone is wanting to speak with her about something. The school itself offers many different "outside" activities as well, such as karate camp during the times schools is out of session and, most recently, held an Easter Egg hunt and potluck at Tumbleweed park for the patrons of both Chandler & Gilbert to enjoy.
I enjoy Sandoval and, more importantly, my son enjoys Sandoval. We'd recommend it to everyone we know.
