Our students speak out! Read what they have to say about their training at Arrowhead Martial Arts in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Many of our students travel from various Utah cities such as Park City, Bountiful, Ogden, and Riverton to take lessons at our martial arts school exclusively for adults.

And, before you read these, know these are my students exact words and I didn’t edit these whatsoever. These are real people who actively train at my Salt Lake City Utah martial arts school. If you don’t believe me, stop by one of my classes to speak with these people face-to-face and talk to them yourself!

“Russ loves how up front we are about everything!”

“I think when you study a martial art you really want to find the best fit for you. I felt the way Arrowhead Martial Arts is set up answered most of my questions upfront. The website and trial lessons really overcame any reluctance I had. I had a life long desire to get into the martial arts, and finally found the right place to learn. It is a great school were I learn from very skilled instructors who really know how to apply the art and teach it to others. I am excited to learn all I can about KENPO!”

“When I first started looking I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to find the right school. Luckily I found Arrowhead! Arrowhead Martial Arts is exactly what I wanted. The chance to train with people on the same physical level, and the same maturity level as well. Kenpo has become a big part of my life. It allows me to escape the pressures of my day, and focus on something that truly makes me happy. I tell everyone I know how much I enjoy your studio. It really is a great environment to learn in.

“Heather loves never getting lost in the crowd!”

“When I came to Arrowhead Martial Arts the first time and saw that many people are starting at, or over, my age helped me realize that you dont have to be a kid to begin taking martial arts lessons. And, this isn’t a place where they tell you to just hit harder….its a place where they really break down how to do something correctly for the maximum effect. Its more personalized than any martial arts studio i’ve seen….no getting lost in the crowd! its a comfortable learning environment. Its a place where you expect more and more of yourself because of the quality of the instructors. I love this studio!”

“Tony raves about our positive learning atmosphere!”

“I really didn’t want to take lessons with a bunch of kids. And second, I didn’t want a program that was too rough with a lot of sparing. Arrowhead Martial Arts provides adult only classes and promote a learning atmosphere over an aggressive one. Your attitude about if we would be a good fit over just wanting to sign people up to make a profit is what convinced me to join.”

“Candace lost weight and is less stressed!”

“I decided to take martial arts for several reasons. The first was because Jared, my husband, took it several years ago and always talks about how fun it was and how he was in excellent shape. The second is because during the summer in 2008 I went to watch my sister test for her purple belt. I was so impressed at the skills she had developed and how well she was able to protect herself. I prefer to be an independent woman and seeing how she was able to control that situation sparked my interest in wanted to learn how to physically and mentally protect myself. I never want to be the damsel in distress. This is a big stress reliever for me and that I have actually lost a little weight!”

“James feels more confident than ever!”

“I’ve always wanted to be able to defend myself if the situation were ever to arise. Arrowhead Martial Arts is a friendly atmosphere to learn effective self-defense principles. The instructors are very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. I was finally convinced when they didn’t pull me into a back room to talk about financing and contracts like other martial arts schools in town did.”

“4′ 11″ Foot Rachael loves learning how to defend herself!”

“I’m slightly less than five feet tall. The chances of my opponent being larger than me in a self defense situation are pretty good! For those who teach and allow me to put a little more behind my strikes so that I may learn – Thank You!”

“Cory loves not being taken for granted!”

“I checked into a few martial arts schools and sat in on a few different classes before coming to Arrowhead Martial Arts. None of them seemed particularly interesting to me, and I felt like they just wanted another number, another contract. Arrowhead Martial Arts was so different. I feel that the instructors have my best interest in mind, not my money. I felt an immediate brotherhood here, and everyone in the class seemed to have a passion for the art, and everyone seemed to move with the same fluidity of my old friends who got me interested in martial arts to began with. Arrowhead Martial Arts is still the right place for me!”

“Jessica thinks the low student-to-teacher ratio is practically like having private lessons!”

“I was attracted to AMAS for numerous reasons: the low student-to-teacher ratio is practically like having private lessons; the price and terms are extremely reasonable; the location is easily accessible and comfortable; my fellow students are dedicated and friendly; the AMAS instructors are not only knowledgeable and skilled in the art, but they are also very personable, patient, easy to follow, and eager to share their knowledge; and Mr. Wheaton’s training philosophy, fun personality, leadership, and obvious love of and skill in the art carry throughout the studio.”

“Joel loves all the personal attention he receives!”

“The instruction at the hands of Mr. Wheaton and the other instructors is incredible. I’m certain I would have a hard time attending any other studio! I am very impressed by the personal attention to each student. There are multiple instructors on hand to give help and guidance, and each instructor is very friendly. I also feel like the environment is controlled and safe. Things aren’t going to get out of hand, and there is no danger of getting clobbered by a more advanced student. My work friends are getting tired of Wednesday and Friday when I want to tell them about all the awesome things I learned the night before!”

“Joseph searched high and low until he found Arrowhead Martial Arts!”

“I searched 7 years after my discharge from the service for a martial art that I felt had what I was looking for. I took finding just the right art very seriously. I started my time here with the rest of you at Arrowhead Kenpo because I believed I had found not just the art I was looking for but the instructor as well. We have a team of extraordinary individuals/martial artists teaching us.”
