Chuck and his awesome staff at JKA Karate are exceptionally talented ,qualified, patient, knowledgeable and experienced karate instructors. Learning and teaching the Shotokan traditional Japanese form of karate has been a lifetime passion for Chuck and his wife who is also his business partner and a fellow instructor. His lifelong dedication to karate combined with his love for teaching and passing along his several decades of knowledge to the next generation is quite evident in his standards and expectations for his students. Our 6 year old "Luka" started a year ago with several other students his own age that he has grown with, learned with and become friends with. JKA provides a very welcoming atmosphere and much like a small family of committed like minded dedicated people in all the various age classes from kids to seniors at all skill levels. Chuck expects and requires the same level of commitment, effort, respect and dedication of his students that he provides through his training classes. Students definitely learn and grow as Chuck takes the time to understand the needs, strengths and weaknesses of each of his students to achieve optimum results in skill, dedication and character. Along with seeking involvement and input from the parents or family so everyone is working together as a team towards the students ultimate success.



If you are looking for a reasonably priced karate school for yourself or a young one I can recommend Chuck and his team highly. You will EARN every belt or title you receive through hard work, practice, skill, dedication and effort. Chuck demands much from his students but gives back even more by passing along his many many decades of knowledge, skill and experience through his and his staffs guidance, support and instruction.

JKA - WF Arizona, Sensei Coburn and all Sempai s are Amazing!! Shotokan Karate is much more than I ever believed it to be. Here I feel uniquely nurtured and challenged both physically and spiritually. Thank you

Great Dojo!!!

From East coast, I moved down to AZ. This is an amazing dojo, high quality of training. Respect of others is of the keys.

Awesome dojo. One of the best dojo’s I’ve trained at so far.

JKA is amazing!!!! We love JKA. It’s a great place to learn and being a part of JKA family feels like a blessing. The discipline, the learning, the warmth, it truly feels like the best place to learn Karate!!!! I highly recommend JKA!!!

I live in Texas and I take private lessons with Sensei Coburn. I highly value my time and I judge my time training with Sensei Coburn very well spent. His experience with and dedication to our beautiful art is unquestionable and his ability to teach is exemplary: attention to detail, organization, clear communication, patience, positive comments that encourage renewed effort, constructive criticism that is well delivered. I look forward to our lessons.

Best place to practice! Traditional karate teaches self discipline and respect for others along with fellowship. Very nice facility also.

Proud to be a member of Chuck Coburn's dojo. Superior instruction and caring instructors regardless of rank. Was involved in a horrific accident and Chuck and Cheryl were the first to reach out to my wife and I. Recommend this dojo to all!

The school helped the children and adult to be more confident socially, more disciplined physically and more focused academically. Sensei Chuck C. is amazing teacher. He is professional, he truly care about people, karate and training. Everyone is super friendly. School is very clean and accessible. What a truly special place this is! I been doing karate for about 27 years and I changed lots of Dojo's. I cannot say enough good thing about this school. I love the school, I love the people, I love training's, and I LOVE KARATE! I am recommending this place to every child out there, adult's, and I hope you will come and join us! Let's become one big family... Thank you !
