Martial Arts Schools in Independence

“AKKA has been great! In just over six weeks I'm so much stronger, with more stamina. Carrying in the groceries isn't a daunting task any more. It's very challenging, but has been fun and rewarding.“

“My son started taekwondo when he was 5 years old, in the Little Tigers program. We had tried other martial arts studios before and Master Henrich was by far the best instructor we had seen. He ran the entire class of 7-9 5 year olds all by himself. Other places had barely been able to contain smaller classes with more adults helping. He is able to keep the kids entertained and engaged while still having them learn the fundamentals and basics of taekwondo. All of the black belts/instructors have immense patience with all the students. They take time with each person to make sure they understand the techniques and skills they need to learn. My son and I now both take classes together and it has been an amazing experience to be able to learn side by side with him and watch him grow. I couldn't imagine a better place that I could have started this journey with my son, and we will continue for many years to come.“

“My daughter loves Wilcox Karate Academy! They are so patient and amazing with her. She was diagnosed with ADHD, which is one of the reasons why we decided that we wanted her to try Karate. They help her with her focus on getting her energy out. She never wants to leave.After seeing how much they help, my daughter, I decided I would like to try. So I also joined up and now I get to do this with my daughter. It’s an amazing experience. They truly treat you like family and want you to succeed.“
