Martial Arts Schools in Akron

“Update May 2024: We have now been at Zahand's for 3.5 years and have since enrolled our youngest son in martial arts here as well. I was just talking with my older son and he was saying how much Zahand's helps him in all aspects of his life. The life skills that my boys have learned are invaluable. The level of excellentlce here is bar none!---------We love Zahand's Martial Arts! My son has been going here for 2 years now and it has played such an important role in his growth and maturity. He used to have frequent meltdowns and martials arts has played such an important role in helping him learn how to regulate his emotions. The staff at Zahand's is amazing and they go above and beyond in caring for the students. We get monthly calls from Doshi to check in to see how our son is doing outside the dojo. We have taken advantage of the Saturday conversations where Doshi opens up the opportunity to have a conversation to talk through life lessons. Our son is determined to get to black belt and we can't wait to celebrate when he gets there. He loves his dojo friends and family and we will be forever grateful for Zahand's Martial Arts!!“

“Great place! Very wonderful staff of people.they work so well with the kids. My son has ADHD and they are so kind and patient with working with him! Payment were affordable and the people are so friendly. I highly recommend!!“

“I had the honor and privilege to train at the American Karate Academy for over a decade. There is, in my opinion, no better and more legitimate martial arts Academy in the city, and it is one of the best in the state. Hanshi Lee Harris teaches children and adults, in all areas of the arts, from self defense to traditional karate to physical fitness. He has experience with handi-capable students (because a handicap is just another thing to be overcome) as well as attention disorders and physical therapy. I would give this school ten stars if I could, and the highest regards imaginable. If you choose to study or train at AKA, you will leave a better person after a challenging and ultimately fulfilling experience.“

“Mr.Kiraly provides phenomenal instruction and is completely dedicated to providing traditional forms of swordsmanship. Absolutely the best place to learn European fencing and Japanese iadio and kendo.“

“I was impressed by how great the teachers were for the toddler class! I wanted my kids to love it but they did not. Grateful for the trial promotion to make that discovery affordable! Love the photos I got“
