Been taking my kid here for long time. Great place, fantastic staff.

When I joined AKMA ten months ago I thought it would be a fun way to exercise and also learn some self defense techniques at the same time - I never expected it would actually improve my spirit, my confidence, and my life. If you are looking for incredibly knowledgeable, patient teachers to shape you as a warrior and a human being, to train you in philosophy as well as technique, looking for personal growth physically and introspectively as well as a wonderfully supportive group of people to inspire you, AKMA is the place for you.

I have been a student of the AKMA in Burbank, California for almost a year. When I first started, I had bad knees and weak ankles. Since training, my legs feel much stronger. There is still some pain, however, here you are taught to confront it-which comes in handy when you are faced with a person who wants to cause you harm. I have also lost 11 lbs. since starting-it's a great way to work out and to learn new skills. It is definitely a place of enlightenment-you learn a lot about yourself, such as understanding that you CAN do more if you put your mind to it. The instructors also treat you with the utmost respect and will stay with you until you learn and master what they are teaching you. It's definitely an experience worth looking into, regardless of if you are a beginner or a master warrior.

I have two little girls who are 6 and 3 years old and are studying at AKMA. I have long respected Sensei Marcello, and when he told me he was teaching little ones, I jumped at the chance. My 6 year old has been training now for almost 2 years and I am amazed at how much she has mastered in such a short amount of time. It's not just about self defense, it's more about self preservation. The class mantra is "A warrior is always in control of their body." I believe it's invaluable to teach children, especially little girls, that no one else is in control of their body but them. I believe that by instilling a sense of self and valuing the temple that your body truly is, is only going to lead to her to being a self confident teenager and young lady. I already see the sense of pride and confidence in her that I know AKMA is largely responsible for. My 3 year old has only been studying for a few months, but already I've noticed a vast difference in her ability to maintain control over herself and the situation around her. Most importantly, all of the kids LOVE Sensei. He has truly mastered the art of teaching through discipline, laughter and fun. The kids all respect him tremendously and it shows in their efforts in class. If you come to one of their classes, you will see how much FUN the classes are. It's never too early to instill self preservation and character into our children, and AKMA is an invaluable tool for that. I would HIGHLY recommend this school to any parent looking for a quality martial arts school!
