“I think what makes Phoenix Karate special is the combined effort of all the instructors, as well as the students and their families. At PKA there isn't one instructor but several, and each specializes in one or more parts of the curriculum. We work as a team with the same goal, to share our knowledge and experience with others helping them to discover their own purpose. We have instructors who specialize in Self-Defense, Kata, Grappling, Fitness, Sparring, and one who has great inner strength (our own Zen master, if you will). It is not one but all who make Pinan-Do what it is, a truly well rounded Martial Art. The passion demonstrated by our instructors spreads as enthusiasm to our students. We walk together, students and instructors alike, on the journey of life following the Pinan-Do (peaceful way). ”
