“Prime taekwondo is the best place around! The instructors are what make you go back! Love this place!! “
“Wayne and all the teachers are great with the kids!!! Jiu-Jitsu will give your children exercise and help them with confidence!!“
“A great club that trains both Judo and Jujitsu and has both an adult class and kids class. They have instructors that still compete and have a lot to teach.“
“I trained here off and on for 20 years, 14 hours a week since the age of 5. As a shy kid, this dojo taught me confidence, bravery, and to be ambitious. I proudly competed in all my tournaments under the name "Katzer's Bushidokan" in kata and kumite (sparring). This dojo taught me self defense against weapons of guns, knives, batons, bats, being attacked from behind, on the ground, and from straight on. Believing I was tough enough to fight at such a young age, my sensei allowed me to spar with the adults as a kid, as he would for anyone. I live in California now and when I come by for visits back to KC, I always join a class. It amazes me that Steve Katzer remembers all of his students. Even though I found an Okinawan dojo I now train at, Katzer's Bushidokan will always be dearly close to my heart. Thank you for everything that you do in your student's lives.“
“Choosing AKKA Karate Independence for my child has been a game-changer. Besides top-notch martial arts training, they prioritize clear communication with parents and foster a supportive community among students. Highly recommended!“
“AKKA Blue Springs is one of the best martial arts dojo's in the area. Mr Busker is the schools owner and has a rank of 5th degree black belt. He has such a wonderful passion for the art. He has many assistant instructor that carry that same passion. My grandson started 41/2 years ago at the age of 61/2 and earned his junior black belt at age 11. He has learned many skills and wonderful attributes to carry with him through his life's journey. To earn a black belt he had to be discipline, patience and persistent. Learning to defend yourself during a confrontation is a wonderful skill but learning to walk away with confidence is a great skill to have in life. Blue Springs Akka and Mr. Busker will teach and cultivate these skills in a martial arts student. Many Thanks to a wonderful school.“
“Coach G is fantastic! She has helped my daughter have the confidence to try something she is easily discouraged about and handles emotions with support and compassion. My oldest has gotten a boost to her confidence as well and even improved her balance and coordination in just a few months!“
“Much respect for Master Rulon and the TKD families. It's so neat watching my grandsons and her other students grow with her patience and guidance.“
“K2L is a very inclusive group that teaches children and adults life skills from concentration to self confidence to accountability. These are lessons that apply to life, school, and martial arts. I highly encourage anyone to speak with either the Douglas location or the Raintree location.“
