The Academy For Martial Arts

Aug 2021

My 2 little ones are currently enrolled here and love it. Here is the reason. Approximately 2 years ago my son wanted to learn karate after being inspired from watching movies like the original Katate Kid, Jackie Chan, Bruce lee, Ninja turtles, we decided to enroll him in the Academy. But like all kid interests comes shyness and fear of failing. Getting him through the front door and meeting new people was a task in itself. This is where real professionalism takes control. One of the Sensei, or instructor, took my son in to the class and slowly introduced him to punching and kicking to raise my son's morale and that not everything is designed to fail, but to learn from it and do better every time. This can be seen in the pics uploaded. When my son broke his first board and receiving his white belt, he was scared no more. He started to talk more, meet new friends, learn more karate skills and techniques. As he time progressed, my daughter saw the things my son was doing in the Academy and she as well wanted to enroll. Although her jumping jacks resemble a a flightless bird flapping its wings, she too, like her brother was determined to do better. Two years passed and they both received numerous belts and escalated into different classes. Now all they can think about is karate this and karate that. And sometimes they use me as a punching bag to show me what they learned that day.Co-vid was dismal time during 2020. However, just like my kids, the Academy progressed and adapted. The Academy found new ways to keep our kids learning even from far away. Like regular school at that time, they created training through live zoom classes. It was great. They came up with ways improvisation where if the kids needed certain equipment to learn or practice, whether on/off zoom. The instructors were able to give each student "their time" to shine and show off their skills at home.When co-vid restrictions slowly died down, the Academy continued to make sure learning in class was safe for both student and instructors. They maintained the space requirement, with masks and before and after every session they allow time for themselves to disinfect the Dojo using some high quality cleaning machines.If you are looking for a place for your kids to learn. I strongly suggest this place.

We signed our daughter up after attending a free anti bully program and visiting there with girl scouts. We found there were always extra instructors on hand, a great big clean dojo. They are amazing. They have helped my daughter come out of her shell, and show such kindness towards everyone. It's like a family!

I selected The Academy of Martial Arts for my daughter based on people highly recommending them. She is now on the road to becoming a black belt. The instructors here are dedicated, professional & friendly. Your child is their main priority. The dojo is clean & well maintained. I am a student here as well & I am physically back on track with their Kickboxing Plus program. It's such a great work-out, a must try! Our experience here has been nothing but positive. This is not only an awesome place to train, they also host wonderful social activities that they invite all children, family & friends to. You will not be disappointed with The Academy of Martial Arts.
