We Believe Martial Arts if for Everybody
At American Martial Arts Academy, we are all about helping people become healthier, happier, and more confident. Our philosophy is that martial arts is for everybody, no matter if you are 4 or 94, or anywhere in between. We are staffed by professional, experienced martial artists, who have dedicated their lives to sharing the benefits of martial arts with the community.
WHAT MAKES US THE BEST? OUR INSTRUCTORS!
Earning a Black Belt does not entitle someone to teach. Our Instructor Training Program teaches instructors how to teach students in an interesting and entertaining way. In addition, all of our instructors and classroom assistants receive monthly training to enhance their skills and ensure a consistent teaching environment.
Our instructors are Black Belts in Shaolin Kempo Karate and are trained to teach children. They become familiar with every child by learning their names, strengths and areas for improvement. Instruction is tailored to the needs of your child in a group setting. Our instructors have all experienced the life-changing, confidence-building benefits of martial arts firsthand. In fact, most of our instructors started with AMAA as children! Because of this, we all deeply understand how a positive environment can bolster your child’s healthy development…in all areas of their life.
In everything we do, we embrace kindness, community, and compassion. Our knowledge, passion, and training provide the backdrop where your children can learn the skills that will help them thrive in all aspects of life.
