Sturgis Academy of Martial Arts

Apr 2024

Katie and Bret Hamlin have put their heart and soul into building a top-notch martial arts school. Their purpose is to not only teach valuable self-defense skills but to develop self confidence, courtesy, respect for others, and focus in kids and adults. Bonus: Great exercise! They are constantly connecting with others in their industry and implementing new ideas and techniques. They along with their wonderful staff are very involved in the Sturgis community which is so important today. If you're thinking about trying it out, they have lots of introductory class offers so give SAMA a call!

The instructors are the best ever! My 3 year old was insanely shy and anxious before starting almost a year ago and has blossomed so much in less than a year. She has fun with the other kids and the instructors. They know how to redirect her to doing what they are supposed to during class when she's overly energetic without being rude or anything and are great at translating what to do where it makes sense to everyone including the 3 and 4 year old class. If you are even thinking about enrolling your child I highly recommend at least bringing them in for a class to see for yourself how great they are

SAMA is such a great place for my child to go! He's always excited to go whether it's for his regular training or his Warrior training and has fun doing it. Besides learning the self defense he also is learning how to be respectful towards others, learning how focus and listen better and just getting all around good exercise.
