“Got a chance to train here for several months. Great jiu jitsu school with a defined curriculum. They also have kickboxing classes if you are interested and some wrestling which mostly caters to high school students around the area. An all around well structured set up to learn mixed martial arts but jiu jitsu is their main area of focus. The instructors there are helpful and knowledgeable and the black belt students will help you learn as well. It has a good environment of getting everyone to learn and progress in their skills. Students from this academy also compete at MMA competitions and jiu jitsu tournaments as well. They also do separate classes for white/blue belts versus the other higher ups so students that are just beginning can learn the basics without getting overwhelmed. In addition, there are separate classes for kids and adults. Recommend this academy for people who want to get started in their jiu jitsu journey.“
“We have been members of the Karate America family since the second half of 2019 at first w/ our oldest and now with our youngest child... This program not only teaches our girls to protect themselves, but it encourages them to be confident and motivated to do more! Additionally, the instructors are extremely welcoming and teach classes for all age groups. Definitely worth it! You won't be disappointed...“

“All the instructors are all fantastically patient and caring. The other students seem to also follow lead, and everyone is friendly yet focused. I have little to no martial arts experience and the instructors take the time to explain things thoroughly to the entire class, and one-on-one. There is a great sense of community, and a focus on developing the student's skills. These classes are not just about fitness or going through the motions, every class is non-stop learning. It's very different from the big chain martial arts classes. You'll learn WHY you do certain movements and how to adjust when what you do isn't quite right. Both my husband and I look forward to class and go nearly every day, hopefully we can get past our two left feet!“

“If Your looking for a karate school this is the one! The classes are structured and each week they set a goal of things to work on at school, or home. The instructors get to know your children and create bonds. At Karate America they make u feel like family.“
“My son loves training here! The instructors are great and enjoy what they do. I enjoy watching him at something he has grown to love. He even practices at home! It has a great community/family feel which is incredibly valuable itself.“
“My daughter has been coming to this school since October of 2021. She loves coming here, and she has learned so much. Master Pak’s school has boosted my daughters confidence, helped her learn respect and responsibility and her grades improved dramatically since putting her in there. She was making B/C in school now she is making A’s in her classes. She enjoys working with Master Pak, Master Jesse, and Master Duffy. Awesome school, awesome instructors, and overall great experience.“
