“It’s Your Money – Spend It In Phoenix.”
ActivStars Athletics. Your child’s safety is important, as is encouraging them to put down devices and engage in exercise. Luckily, ActivStars Athletics in Phoenix, Arizona, offers karate courses that teach children how to stay safe AND stay active–win-win!
About. Over forty years ago, ActivStars Athletics’ owner, Kraig Hollingworth, was determined to become the best karate student. Kraig succeeded, and these days has become the best karate teacher! Kraig’s martial arts path began in high school when he was hoping to expand his knowledge and skills. Planning to reach out to multiple martial arts studios, Kraig quickly discovered Toushi Kan Judo, a prestigious school in Montana.
Although Kraig’s background in engineering offered what many may have considered a safer career path, Kraig realized that building missiles wouldn’t fulfill him. As such, after graduating from college, Kraig decided he would take a leap and lead Young Olympians, the organization he’d started working at while attending college. Because of his decision, Kraig had the opportunity to travel to areas like Phoenix, Kansas City, and Denver to open schools and hire knowledgeable instructors. Under Kraig’s help and guidance, the company grew to over 10,000 valued students. Not to mention, he fulfilled his previous martial arts school’s goal of training karate students to lead successful dojos!
Different Names, Same Values. Kraig has been with the company for decades and has witnessed several rebrands, from Young Olympians and ActivStars to the current name, ActivStars Athletics. But what stayed the same throughout Kraig’s time in the dojo? The company is just as dedicated to providing positive programs today as they were decades ago, fostering skills, family values, and friendships among youth. Beyond just having a successful martial arts career, ActivStars Athletics is concerned with helping kids find success in life, too!
Abduction Prevention. ActivStars Athletics knows that your child and their safety is vital. Sadly, abduction is an ever-present threat that youth face. That’s why ActivStars Athletics is proud to specialize in abduction prevention through their unique program, SAFE (Safety Awareness for Everyone) Shield.
SafeShield builds on the practices in the A-Z Abduction Prevention Program, ultimately giving kids the best methods and skills to protect themselves. Your child will learn everything from identifying safe or dangerous areas, potentially threatening behaviors, and ways a child can say “no” or ask for assistance. Not only will your child learn abduction prevention in a caring, safe environment, but they’ll also receive skills that will equip them for life beyond the dojo.
Anti-Bullying. ActivStars Athletics is also proud to offer a class where students can cultivate the “Mind of a Black Belt.” Throughout this anti-bullying class, students will learn how to handle verbal attacks from bullies, identify and properly respond to threats, and how to remain resilient even in challenging situations.
Stars Beyond the Classroom. Who says that martial arts can’t include plenty of crucial life skills? In ActivStars Athletics’ Stars Beyond the Classroom course, kids learn safety measures against drugs, how to avoid gangs, water and fire safety, performing well in school, the benefits of good citizenship, and so much more!
Family. ActivStars Athletics is proud to offer a family atmosphere! Highly trusted in the community, ActivStars Athletics even provides the opportunity for family training. Although they specialize in teaching children ages 4 to 15, teens and adults are welcome, too. So no matter whether a student is 10 or 110, ActivStars Athletics has created an environment where anyone–at any age–can engage in martial arts!
Affordable. ActivStars Athletics believes everyone should have the chance to learn martial arts in a positive environment. Affordability is a cornerstone of the company, with classes only costing $9/class!
Endorsed. ActivStars Athletics has been operating in Phoenix for over 35 years, and area individuals quickly noticed the value of the dojo! That’s why ActivStars Athletics is proud to be endorsed by local schools and community organizations.
Highly Trained. ActivStars Athletics’ instructors aren’t your run-of-the-mill martial arts teachers. Instead, all instructors are highly trained AND have completed background checks. At ActivStars Athletics, your peace of mind is important!
Locations near you. With over 50 locations, you’ll find an ActivStars Athletics facility in just about every school district!

ActivStars Athletics Reviews
“Sensei Jeoffrey and Sensei Michael at Desert Horizon in Phoenix are Great Instructors Great with kids !! Always had a positive and fun attitude They speak loud and clear for kids to understand My 6 year old learned a lot and enjoyed their class and did not mind getting up early on Saturday to go to class All the staff was great!!” -Teresa G.
“My daughter absolutely loves coming to karate each week. Sensei Jeoffrey does a great job of keeping the kids engaged and focused on perfecting their moves. I love that he even has some of his higher belt students up front helping to facilitate. I think this shows the newer students how people their own age and size look performing. It also helps build confidence and leadership with the more experienced students. Highly recommend our Tuesday evening sessions as we have a lot of fun! PS winning at the tournament doesn’t suck either :)” -Renee H.

“Our daughter and son have been going to ActivStars Karate for several years and they love it. They have learned about self-defense, discipline, focus, respect, and leadership. Our son earned his black belt at 13 and our daughter is a brown/red belt at 11 and now working towards her black belt. Shihan Hollingworth and Sensei Joeffrey Sr. are very knowledgeable, dependable, and dedicated to the craft. We love our Karate family at Activstars Athletics.” -Marissa M.
“Sensei Jeoffrey is an amazing instructor. His ability to keep the kids engaged and have fun but all while instilling discipline and confidence in the children is second to none. I would highly recommend this program. The cost is minimal for the return you receive on your investment. I’d recommend this program to anyone thinking about getting their children involved in Karate.” -Matt G.
