Walker's American Martial Arts
Fitness today is more than just diet and exercise. We plan our fitness around confidence, self-esteem, in addition to the physical boost that our martial arts program gives you so that you can blast stresses and live a more peaceful and centered life. Our instructors love what they do and it is evident to our students and their families.

And our commitment to excellence means that each student, regardless of age or ability, will receive the best instruction in Central Illinois! WAMA's classes are designed to teach goal setting, character development and conflict resolution. Most students simply start martial arts as a hobby and come to find a second family they never knew they had.
Services
In our kids karate classes, we focus on self-discipline and self-confidence as well as citizenship. WAMA's classes are designed to teach goal setting, character development, and conflict resolution. All classes are taught on a rotating curriculum so any time is the best time to begin! Children of all ages love our high energy classes!
My son enjoyed karate so much that I decided to sign up too. Now we get to take classes together. It's a good workout, we have fun, plus I'm learning how to defend myself (if I ever need to). You're never too old to start learning martial arts. My daughter started karate and grappling here 6 weeks ago and would probably live here if I would let her.

Sensei Walker is the best around! He’s so patient with the kids but pushes them where needed. Our son really enjoys going to class and learning new forms. He has gained more confidence in himself and has come out of his shell. We can’t wait until our daughter is old enough to join 😁

This is a fantastic Dojo. Sensei Walker is very patient with the students and includes great stories along with his teaching of martial arts that help his students with potential real world scenarios. Highly recommend this place!

Walker's American Martial arts not only teaches karate they also give these kids so much more. I have watched my granddaughter go from an extremely shy child to one with more confidence in herself than I ever thought possible. Joe Walker cares and it shows. I wouldnt take my family anywhere but to WAMA !!!

A fellow martial arts instructor myself, I've spent time in Sensei Walker's school. I've seen his material. I've seen his students perform. And most importantly, I've seen Sensei Walker & his students conduct themselves.
I am most impressed by the students WAMA. The strong leadership of the school instills the proper fundamentals of traditional Karate. They have a strong family oriented environment & display a love & respect for one another.
Sensei Walker, himself, is a humble man & very skilled martial artist. Always a pleasure to be in his company. He is both a credit to his students & to the
