I can’t say enough about the studio. It has the most professional, knowledgeable and well trained staff in the area and they focus not only on karate skills, but life skills as well.

American Martial Arts Academy has been such a incredible experience for my son. He loves attending class and is always excited to learn a new technique. Sensei Paul is very patient, but also challenges and encourages the kids to be their best!
Michelle Jackson
Highly Recommend! Everyone there is absolutely incredible and my daughter just loves the classes. The confidence she has gained from them is immeasurable. There are many other martial arts studios in our area, but we can’t imagine going anywhere else–definitely worth the drive. In fact, my younger son tried a couple others in the area but they were wither too strict or way too overwhelming. American Martial Arts Academy is like a family and gives a prefect blend of confidence, discipline, and FUN! And they have the BEST birthday parties. I heard of them by attending a birthday party for my younger son and ended up staying after for their free woman self defense class–which was totally amazing. I am so glad I brought my daughter back here for martial arts and if you are thinking about going anywhere else, give this place a try first. You won’t be disappointed! We are so proud to be a part of the family

We are not just about martial arts–it’s also about family. The instructors are great & the school incorporates home, school, & self defense into their teachings. Students are so supportive of each other and learn respect toward others, as well as discipline and confidence! I would highly recommend to everyone, no matter their age. And they now have new adult beginner classes that are just amazing!
