The club relocated to Washington Street and became a fulltime dojo, with the name of K.E.I., by 1974. At this time, Shudokan Karate-do was added to the training and Aikido was added two years later. Also in 1976, the organization moved to the City Center Building in Ann Arbor, at which point the name was changed to the Asian Martial Arts Studio.
We do not require students to sign long-term contracts or to pay large sums of money for training, but we do expect a minimum commitment of two months of classes by requiring the first and last months' dues when starting. First month's dues are prorated from the date the student starts at-tending classes.
Founded in 1983, hailed as "one of the five most prestigious performing ensembles in the state of Michigan" by the Michigan Council for the Arts, the Award-winning Asian Martial Arts Lion Dance Troupe is made up of members chosen from within the kung-fu program. Along with regular martial arts training, they join special weekly classes in the art of Chinese lion dance.
The Children's Program at AMAS includes basic techniques from several different martial arts. Each martial art is taught individually within a unified program, exposing students to multiple traditions and principles. Care is taken to present the different arts separately, so that students can appreciate the individual techniques as belonging to particular traditions with an emphasis on history and tradition.

I attended Kung Fu classes here for about two months, until work began to interfere. I really enjoyed the classes for the most part. There were five opportunities for class a week and getting some practice time was always quite easy.
The reason for not getting higher stars: 1) cost--at $80/month, it was a luxury I couldn't afford for very long--especially given how often i was able to go.; 2) Some instructors were very knowledgeable and good, but some instructors seem somewhat unprofessional and after a while I couldn't understand why someone more out-of-shape than me and who often
