I took the women’s self-defense class at Azad’s and enjoyed it and hopefully I won’t have to use it but I do remember things that I’m sure would help me if I ever had to use them. The teachers were all very supportive and Grand Master was amazing. They obviously care very much about the people they teach. If I had more time available I would love to take regular classes there.

I have taken these classes a few times and I believe it is important and necessary for females to know how to defend themselves. I recommend this class for all ages men and women.

We have been so happy with our children's experience at Azad's. Both my son and daughter loved their training and got so much more than physical fitness out of it. Self confidence, pride, learning better self control. I highly recommend Azad's, I only wish our kids had started younger.

Our two children have been involved with Azads for almost 2 years and it has been an amazing experience specially having Azads being the only consistent thing throughout the pandemic as they adapted to providing high quality classes via zoom.

We have had the absolute best experience at Azad’s. We started with Mr. Grant and then had Mrs. Miranda who are both such incredible instructors. Their enthusiasm and passion is so appreciated. I cannot thank them enough for all of the encouragement and support they have shown our family. It was hard to switch teachers but know moving up is part of the process. Mr. Reitz is his new instructor and he is also so amazing with the kids. Our kiddo was having some issues with his behavior and since being at Azad’s he has improved so much. Watching the kids learn respect and discipline while having fun is so incredible and we will definitely happy to be a part of this incredible martial arts studio. Hands down recommend anyone to bring their kiddos here!!

I highly recommend Azad's! No matter what the level of your child is, they take the time to teach them the important lessons of life along with Karate. They are patient yet firm with great positive reinforcement!
