Phoenix Academy welcomes the Sharja Tae Kwon Do Competition Team for a wonderful friendship meet and joint team workout!   Jan ’23

The Phoenix Competition Team got to go up against some of the best sparring athletes in the UAE for a tough and fun session. Meeting new friends and competing with challenging skills as we work towards the Fujairah International Open Tournament in February.

Thank you to the amazing Team Sharja for your excellent example of true sportsmanship and martial arts friendship! Go Sharja! Go Phoenix!

Another Amazing Kids Night Out!

This year we named it Kids Time Out! but not because they have been naughty… We had games, snacks, and a great evening with our friends, Phoenix instructors and Master Graves leading the fun.

Don’t forget, October is Halloween Spooks and Fun Night so sign up now!

Thanks to our amazing student  Tshegofatso Rapetsoa, (TJ to all of us!) for this very insightful and heartfelt testimonial for what Phoenix Academy has done for you!

We are sorry you had to move back to South Africa over the summer break and did not get a chance to come say goodbye to all your friends.

We know you will be an amazing addition to your next club, school, or sport! Best of luck TJ and we will miss you, so please come back to visit when you can!

Fourth Annual Board Breaking Tournament Is a Huge Success!

The Phoenix Academy Fourth Annual Board Breaking Championship was an amazing display of our students discipline, technique, and courage to compare their skills against friends and fellow students. With over 120 competitors from Mighty Tigers to Youth and Adults, from White Belts to Advanced Black Belts, it was incredible! There was Creative Breaking, Power Breaking and much more, with smiles and splintered boards glaore! Thanks to all the volunteers that made this and all our events a truly community affair, GO PHOENIX!

Happy 10th Birthday Phoenix Academy! 

It has been an amazing journey with many friends and families sharing with us along the way. We want to thank everyone that has supported our students, staff, and community over the years! From our humble beginnings at the American School of Dubai with a small class on February 23rd, 2011 to our growing classes at our modern facility in Al Quoz, and the COVID lockdown forcing us to switch to zoom classes. We have had many students earn their Black Belt over the years, our Competition and Demonstration Teams have won lots of trophies and medals, we sponsored First Aid and Leadership Seminars, Kids Night out and Halloween Parties too! We hope to continue for years to come and prove again that a Black Belt is just a White Belt that never gave up!

Congratulations to all New Black Belts!

Great job to all our newest Black Belt students that successfully earned your first Dan! Everyone worked very hard over the last few months with the COVID restrictions that made it even more challenging. We has most of the 3 hour test in our Dojang but held the board breaking portion of the test outdoors and on zoom so families and friends could cheer them on. It is an amazing accomplishment for students of all ages, so be proud of yourselves and thankful to your families that have supported you on this life journey. Well Done!!
