Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Maria
"Ray taught a self defense class that my daughter attended. His obvious respect and professionalism put my daughter at ease very quickly and she was able to enjoy the class while learning some very important self defense skills. I highly recommend him to anyone."
Kirsten James
"I absolutely love Carrillo’s! He is a God send to the community with his after school program for the kiddos. My son is too old for daycare but too young to be home alone till I’m off work. Carrillo’s is just perfect! Plus he teaches them martial arts after school which teaches them discipline and how to follow instruction. It makes me so happy to see my son excited when he comes home with all the new stuff he’s learned! Huge thanks to Ray for doing this for the kids!"
Danny Wilson
"Very good place to take your kids to learn some defensive fighting by a great group of people that know what their doing, mr.carillo is a great teacher aswell really takes the time to help you find your comfort zone to maximize training efforts."
Leigh Sells
"Carrillo's Martial Arts has been a blessing for our daughter. She started Little Dragons during a difficult transition in her life, and the consistency, discipline, physical activity, and recognition for her hard work, along with the friends she has made, have helped her gain so much physically and emotionally. We are thankful to be a part of the CMA family!"
