AMA dojo is truly great. My family and I have been training there for 10 years. Starting with the types program for 3-4 year olds that participate with a parent, to kids classes, to teen classes to adult classes. And excellent extracurricular programs too that complement karate training.

Do not register your child here. They take on too many children with not enough instructors. We’ve tried over and over to book our child in for the Saturday class but it gets booked up too quickly. They put you on a waiting list and say they will call, but they don’t.
We will find a different martial arts school going forward.

The training itself is second to none, plenty of class choices, extra seminars, opportunities to learn and grow, but AMA has done so much more for my son than teach him karate. My son started at AMA as a very shy and timid child, but, with the constant encouragement and support of the amazing instructors he has grown into a confident young man with the commitment and courage to constantly push himself and step outside his comfort zone. I can’t thank the AMA team enough for helping him see his true potential.

I've been training here for a few years now, and I love it each time I go in. I get a great workout and I feel more confident about my self defence skills. Amazing service and great instructors.

Highly qualified and experienced faculty. The over-all environment is very amicable. My daughter is learning martial arts here for the last 3 years and we are completely satisfied. Not only the skills, but the confidence she gained over period of time is worth it. Thanks AMA.

One of the best Karate organizations around. Bring my daughter here and their other locations and she really enjoys it. Free parking during most scheduled class times, out back. I usually hit one of the local restaurants when I drop her there, lots of great choices.

I've had a great experience with the Academy of Martial Arts! I've only been training here for about a year, but in that time I've been able to learn and grow so much as an individual all thanks to the wonderful students and staff. Ever since the first moment I stepped into the dojo, I've been treated with so much love and respect, so I really feel like part of the AMA family! :)

The atmosphere here is very welcoming and supportive as I'm always around positive influences. I've been training here for two and a half years now and so far many aspects of my life, both physically and mentally, has improved in and out of the dojo. The instructors here has been helping me strive to be the very best that I can be.
Everyday I'm always excited to learn and discover something new in myself and in the martial arts.

My whole family has trained here for many years now. We all enjoy the training, the instructors, and the people we train with. It is more than just a "fitness club", it is another family. It is a fantastic place to get fit (both body and mind) and to find lots of like-minded individuals. I have the highest praise.
