Read MoreFor over 20 years, Martial Arts Institute students have learned valuable life lessons from our experienced teachers, simultaneously strengthening their bodies and minds. MAI is family owned and operated in Carlsbad and proudly teaches traditional karate, self defense techniques, and Mixed Martial Arts skills.
We teach confidence, respect, and discipline.
In our dojo, we strongly believe in these three basic tenets and our training reflects it. As students develop new skills, they increase their overall physical strength while building their self confidence. Though we are instructors of martial arts, our primary goal is for every student to excel, not only in the dojo, but in all areas of life including at home, at school, and within the community.
And our convenient location partnered with Crutch Fitness means that parents can get their regular gym workout in while their kids are in class. Take advantage of all 60,000 sq ft while your kids learn and grow at the same time!

Learn About the Services Team MAI Offer
By training in the martial arts, you'll develop unwavering confidence and heightened self-esteem. Karate will give you the opportunity to leave fearlessly, here in Carlsbad or wherever life takes you.
Mastering each new technique and journeying from white belt to black belt requires perseverance and self-control, and the lessons you learn with us at Team MAI will make a difference in all aspects of life.
The martial arts will prepare you to defend yourself in an emergency situation, both by giving you the fitness and techniques you'll need, but also by expanding your ability to recognize a dangerous situation.
When you train with us here at Team MAI, you're getting more than just martial arts lessons. You're connecting with our community and meeting lifelong friends and mentors.
