Been learning from so many great martial artists here since 1994. Such rich lineage and connections to all kinds of arts, cultures, fighters, and legends. Great kids program focused on respect for others, confidence in oneself, and real world self defense if needed. DAMA has changed my son's life in the best way and has helped mold mine since I was a teenager.

I absorbed a variety of skills at degerberg, especially kali and dirty boxing. Then I passed those skills onto my children. Fred Degerberg truly is a great instructer who gathered other highly skilled teachers around him. Degerberg Academy also afforded me the opportunity to train with Daniel Inosanto and Bill Wallace. Truly a life changing experience

I am a father of three and we have all been students at Degerberg Academy for almost three years. It has been physically and mentally challenging, learning practical application of many different fighting styles that incorporate punching and striking to kicking and grappling, as well as stick and knife fighting and defense. There is a large staff with a wide variety of skills. There is emphasis on real world defense, as well as fulfilling workouts. Children especially are taught discipline and respect that carries well into school and home life. Don't let the old facility dissuade you. Your life will be enriched, if you put your mind and effort into your training.

Once upon a time I was actor who was looking to expand her tool box in the trade. Figuring that I loved to watch action on stage and screen that I may like doing it, I tentatively stepped in the doors at Degerberg Academy. 3+ years later I will claim to be a martial artist before claiming to be an actor. The Mixed Martial Arts classes are an easy entry point for anyone looking to get in shape or try something new. My other personal favorites are Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai Kickboxing. The instructors at Degerberg are outstanding and exemplify that training continues (most argue it begins) long after receiving a black belt. I have always been athletic so getting in shape wasn't my goal but martial arts changed my body in ways running and lifting never did, both physically and mentally. There is also a social aspect to Degerberg that would be remiss of me to not mention. Classmates become friends and friends turn into family. People, both classmates and instructors, who will push you to be better; cheer you on when you struggle; and support you in your training and life. For anyone contemplating a class, I invite you to take the leap! Stick with it and you won't regret it. I certainly don't!

I have been a student at Degerberg Academy for many years. When I started, I was 38 years old and I earned my black belt in the Degerberg Mixed Martial Arts this year. Degerberg is a part of my family now and I cannot imagine a life without it. I am also ranked in Muay Thai Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu through Degerberg. If anyone is interested in getting thorough, well-rounded martial arts training for a variety of disciplines where you are taught by masters in each art, this is the place for you. In addition to great classes that provide a fantastic work-out, the schools instructors, staff and students will become your best friends. My daughter attends the Kid's Martial Arts classes and loves all of her instructors!
