My kids love this place - it build character and important life skills in a very interactive way. The experiences is personalized to each kid. Both kids (5 and 6 y/o) enjoy going to the classes and look forward to earning the new stripes/belts. We really appreciate instructors focus on the whole person. This month they are learning about stranger danger in a very tangible way - I feel that they can apply these skills right away and be more prepared to deal with different types of situations. My daughter is very outgoing, she benefits from the emphasis on focus and balance. My son needs to learn how to be more self-confident - instructors are helping her to be more comfortable in different situations. My husband and I love observing the class and how instructors interact with kids. Every class is very dynamic and goes really fast.

I was looking for a fitness program that could keep me engaged. I had tried going to the Gym and found it too mechanistic. I was seeking something more holistic, something that was broad and would keep me engaged and learning for years to come. I've been active for over a year with the academy. The culture is built around humility, mutual respect and support. The emphasis is on growth & mastery and not on achievement. The master & instructors make learning the techniques seem easy. I feel I have found what I was searching for. I intend to stay in the art & continue practicing and learning in the years to come. I would highly recommend the academy to anybody who is looking for sustained physical fitness and mental alertness.

It was a little over a year ago when I joined AKMA. I was suffering from my anxiety disorder in an unnecessarily hostile work environment and dealing with the strain provided by elements of my personal life. My hope was that by practicing martial arts I would learn to channel that energy in a more positive way. Going to the academy provided me not only the positive outlet I sought, but also a place that feels like a second home and a community of people who feel like a part of my family. Recently, my financial situation became rather dire and I was no longer able to afford going to the academy. When Master Jones realized I was not showing up anymore he contacted me and told me that there is "no reason" I shouldn't still come to class. He recognized my love and determination for the art but moreover the bond formed from practicing it with other people. These are not money-centric business people who pretend to be martial artists. This is a community of people formed around a common passion who understand and treat everyone who walks through their doors as a human being. As such, they deserve the same respect. Should you decide to see AKMA for yourself you will find that if you care for the people and care for the art that it is not hard to fit in there. People from all walks of life, ethnicities, religions and age all gather here to form a bond through a common interest: self-improvement. It is a positive journey, no matter the negative elements in the path of your life. It is a journey I highly recommend you take.

Excellent learning place. The staff is cooperative and always reviewing my needs and goals towards my learning process. Not a typical teaching process and that is ok because the art needs that method of teaching. Lot of confidence inspiring and support from the staff. Master Jones and Mr. Chase (primary instructors) are very knowledgable and motivating.
