Blackman's Championship Martial Arts

The coaches are nice. The place is very big and It teaches you more stuff than any martial arts

The girls went to a birthday party here today. It appears that it was an all inclusive package, except for some of the food.The kids took off their shoes and then sat on a spot on the floor. They were instructed on some basics and then did a series of activities including an obstacle course. There was plenty of adult supervision. The dozen kids had the best time ever. Some of the kids may sign up for additional classes. It was a fun Saturday afternoon.

My son ( 8 years old ) loves all the classes offered at this school. They have very supportive instructors and staff.

We recently signed up for trial package (amazing deal $29 for one month of karate, one private lesson and the Gi.) My son is 14 and high functioning special needs with a variety of medical issues including hypotonia (poor core strength), and decreased energy/stamina (due to heart condition). He is aware he doesn't quite fit in so I had been hesitant to have him join any sports group. I was referred to Blackman's and told they have quite a few kids/adults with varying disabilities and they work w each individual to help them be their best. I am so beyond pleased with the studio after three sessions! My son's self-esteem has already improved, he is getting great exercise and the instructors are aware of his disabilities and work with him accordingly. As a mom I'm beyond pleased with how well he is treated AND how excited he is for his lessons. I can't wait to see how he progresses.

We completed a one-month trial for my 2 daughters, ages 5 and 7. The 5 year has other activities, so we didn't sign her up (minimum 6 month commitment), but our 7 year old was willing to commit for one year. She is super excited to attend her 2 classes a week and loves it. She's so proud of herself and all that she's accomplishing, and she's becoming more responsible with her chores and respectful with her responses to adults. The staff is amazing - within a week or two, we felt like family and like we belonged there. The teachers are amazing, so knowledgeable, energetic, and perfect with the kids. My only complaint would be the seating - really, there is a lot of seating (2 bleachers inside), but with 40-50 kids in one large arena, there's gonna be a lot of parents wanting to see their progress! I don't know if there's a good solution for that, but everything else is wonderful.

This is the best Martial arts academy in Albuquerque. They have helped my son grow leaps and bounds.

World class establishment. Make you feel very welcome and my kids love it. The training and discipline was outstanding. Highly recommended for all ages to try or attend.

I've been so impressed with the experience our family has had here. It's my son's first time trying out Taekwando classes and he absolutely loves it! He's been going to classes twice a week for the last 2 months. They require a 6 month commitment for kids. We were hesitant about making that commitment not really knowing how long it would keep our son's interest. But after a couple of introduction classes it was clear that my son was super interested. Overall, it's been wonderful. The teachers are so caring and seem to understand just what it takes to keep kids interested and engaged while learning. Also the schedule is amazing as it allows us to pick 2 out of 4 class times each week and you can switch it up as needed. I'm so glad we took a chance with this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking. Seems to be pretty popular with all ages.

Both of my children were students at Blackman Taekwondo Academy, now call Championship Martial Arts. My son earned a Black Belt, my daughter took basic self defensive classes after deciding she didn't want to continue with Taekwondo. The Blackman's are professional and keep their word. We're moving away and will miss both Master Blackman's. Thank you for the eight plus years of selfless giving. We love you!John B.

I can't thank the Blackman's and staff enough. The last 6 years have been awesome. Soon my youngest will test for her black belt. It is one of the best things I've done as a parent, making her come to class when she didn't want to. It has paid off. Whether next month or in 6 months my daughter will have a black belt. But more importantly, her journey has taught her consistenency and persistence pay off. And she's gained courage, confidence, self discipline, focus, a little tenacity, and the list goes on. And, learning to stick with it has paid off in other things in which she is involved. Her various coaches have noticed her body awareness, and self control, that she gets right back up and moves forward even after bad falls that make other kids want to stop and go home. And, she keeps pushing through until she reaches her goals. If that sounds like I am bragging on my kid, I'm not. This review's not about my kid. I'm bragging about what TKD has done for her, and about the impact of martial arts training, and Blackman's TKD in particular. I'd recommend Blackman's to anyone - child or adult. They are super good with kids. Plus, by the way, now that Covid is with us - The Blackman's have gone the extra mile making sure their facility is well ventilated, and squeaky clean. Their sanitizing procedure is ... probably overkill in my opinion. I'm thinking its beyond anything required. But, better to err to the side of caution, right? At Blackman's they do. I know I am thoroughly safe sitting there watching my kid train.
