Soto's Martial Arts Academy

Mr. Soto is an excellent instructor and has a nice facility and high-quality people around him. The physical and mental conditioning that I've experienced early on has been exciting! At 53 years old, I am definitely still in a good age range to learn martial arts.

I cannot explain enough how much we love it here. My whole family loves SMAA. Mr. Soto and Mr. Lindenberg are amazing with the kids. The attention is very individualized and it's really a family experience. The culture and lessons quickly start showing positive behavioral changes at home. One of my boys started and within a month my other son had joined and I could immediately see a positive change in his self esteem and sense of responsibility and motivation.The instructors are very insightful and seem to know exactly what one child needs to hear or understand differently than another.The way they communicate and teach is wonderful and my 3 year old daughter is already counting the days until she can start!

We have two children with Mr. Soto, we are continually impressed with not only his martial arts instruction, but his emphasis on leadership and morality. He also does a fantastic job on keeping it challenging and fun for our kids. I would highly recommend Mr. Soto!

We truly appreciate the review. Thank you for taking the time to post it.

I was one of the OG Little Dragons at Mr. Soto's school back in 1994 and continued studying there up until I graduated from High School and left for college back in 2006. Bill Soto taught us more than just technique; in fact, he taught us more than just discipline; he taught us to identify both our strengths and weaknesses and how to improve on both. He took the time to work with each of us individually, which was effective because he also took the time to understand us all as individuals.I will never forget when I was laid out for a week after having been hit by a car when I was about 11 years old. Mr. Soto took the time to come by our house with a bunch of balloons and knelt beside my bed to talk to me for a bit. I'm telling you, his investment in the personal growth of his students is more than just a great way of running a business: it's because he genuinely cares for/about his students.I have since studied at a few other schools, all of which were great, but it was Soto's Martial Arts that equipped me with the life skills that I find myself applying to this very day.

Mr. Soto works great with children. I like his approach on making sure new participants are a good fit for karate with the 2 week course. He also has a great communication and sense of humor!

My child needed a outlet of positive discipline. I am so happy that we we're referred to Soto's! Mr. Soto is by far the best teacher I have come to meet! In the few months since we've started my child has benefited from this in many ways. I look forward to the many years of my child and family learning from Mr. Soto.

Mr.Soto is very knowledgeable and pays close attention to each and every students in Dojo. He will have 1:1 discussion quite often and helps to improve karate techniques. My son is SMA student since 2018. He really enjoys the way Mr.Soto training him and keep him active through out the training session. If you are looking for Martial Arts school for your kids, you are at the right place @ Soto's Martial Arts School. I highly recommend Soto's Martial Arts school.

Highly recommended. When we enrolled our son into Mr. Soto's Martial Arts Academy (2018), he was only 4 years old, timid and lacked self confidence. Two years later, we have a confident, motivated and focused (as focused as he can be for only 6 yrs old) little boy. We loved the progress and confidence so much we also enrolled our daughter when she was 3.5 yrs old (2019). Seriously, highly recommended!!!
