Oro Valley Martial Arts

As a father who's head over 20 years’ experience in martial arts, it is very difficult to impress me, my standards are extremely high.

I cannot express this enough, our community, our country, and our world would be in a much better place if the values of what Mr. Kim and Ms. Jamie instill on their students.

Building up one self-confidence is one of the most difficult task but it's also a life core ability that can dramatically improve one's life. Every instructor, and I mean every instructor here holds tremendous values and is able to help anyone who attends this school become a better version of themselves.

I do not believe one would find a better investment in their child's development then attending this studio!

Oro Valley Martial Arts is a fantastic place to train for people of all ages. Chief Instructor Mr. Kim and Head Instructor Miss. Jamie operate with the intention to improve the physical, mental, and emotional condition of each student. You always feel welcome when you walk into that building, and eventually the people there will begin to feel like family. If you have a child and are looking to get them going in martial arts, we highly recommend the kid’s classes at this location. The team of instructors are clearly dedicated to helping these young kids improve themselves. If you are a teenager or an adult looking for a place to train, we once again recommend this location. We are sure you will find much enjoyment and fulfillment in the classes offered, as well as increased capabilities within the realms of physicality and self-defense. Oro Valley Martial Arts is a business built to help people become better in all aspects of their lives.

Enriching environment for kids. Teach much for than taekwondo itself. Just started but my son loves it so far.

My son, now 13, has been part of Oro Valley Martial Arts for four years. I cannot say enough good things about the program. The personal and physical growth my son has gained throughout his training is amazing. Miss Jaime and Mr. Kim focus on the whole person and do a great job of incorporating life long skills such as being a good human, learning how to be a good leader, understanding the importance of being a good family member and being a good friend. Their door is always open and work with each individual student where they are at and help them grow. Throughout his training, my son has learned the value of goal setting, hard work, and how to win and lose with grace and integrity. Mr. Kim emphasizes that it’s not about the belt, it’s everything else. The training and lessons he’s learned will transfer to all aspects of life.

We love GTMA Oro Valley Martial Arts! My kids are always looking forward for their lessons. They teach martial arts and life skills. I love how they teach my kids good values and leadership. Mr. Kim and Ms. Jamie are great with kids. All the instructors are well trained. We love their party packages too, it’s fun and engaging. I will definitely recommend them to all my friends.

This is the best martial arts studio and school in Tucson. After 17 years as a student, I’ve seen several children, adults, and families take classes, grow in strength of mind, body, and self, and greatly improve as not just martial artists, but as humans.

Chief Instructor Mr. Kim and Head Instructor Ms. Jamie help develop, empower, and lead students by encouraging and challenging them in a safe environment that quickly becomes a second home to students as they grow through traditional martial arts training, black belt club sparring and weapons classes, and leadership programs for kids, teens, and adults.

I confidently say that I would not be who I am today without Mr. Kim’s teaching, encouragement, and coaching. Starting out as a quiet 13 year old, he and his school helped me find confidence, strength, and a place of peace in this world.

I highly recommend Oro Valley Martial Arts to anyone looking for traditional martial arts training and life skills development.

It’s been such a positive experience for my 5 yo daughter! Jamie and Mr. Kim make discipline and focus fun. No easy task for my little spicy one, but it’s built her up and made her a more confident kid.

My son attended here and this place was great. My son has a hard time focusing and they are great at keeping the kids focused. We would still be there if we lived closer.
