"The way of the martial arts is not an ordinary thing. It is to master peace and desire harmony."
Master Hironori Otsuka, Founder of Wado Karate


Wado means "the way of peace and harmony"

 
 
Welcome to the Arizona Wado Karate and Martial Arts Center’s web site.

Since
1976, when Sensei Marlon Moore, 7th degree black belt, started Arizona Wado Karate, he has been dedicated to teaching the highest quality traditional Japanese Martial Arts in the greater Phoenix Area. We have now expanded our programs to include Judo, Aikido, Okinawan weapons and Japanese Swordsmanship. We are a private school and only except students that are serious about improving themselves physically and mentally. We accept students from ages 4 through teens and adults, including older adults. Only Students who want more self discipline and more self confidence in their lives. After your 2 WEEK FREE TRIAL we will sit down together and decide if you or your child will be accepted into our school.
We have
NO CONTRACTS OR OBLIGATION OF ANY KIND. If a student does not want all of the benefits we offer, then we don’t want them obligated to attend. Our teaching, training methods and dojo (training facility) along with our exceptional teaching staff, set us apart from all other Karate and Martial Arts Schools. Our school motto is “Honor in All Things” .
Call (480) 839-3009 or drop in for our FREE INFORMATIONAL DVD and we will let you know if we have any current openings in our classes or put you on our waiting list for the next available opening. All of our classes are limited class sizes with our beginning classes limited to a maximum of 10 students.

Spectators and visitors are always welcome.
