I started my martial arts training here 30+ years ago, and since I moved away from the area 20+ years ago, I've trained in a lot of other schools and styles. Many of those schools and instructors were wonderful, but none of them were as good as Amkor. The quality of the instruction is second to none, and the resulting quality of the students is unmatched. If you're looking for a martial arts school for yourself or your kids, you can't go wrong with any of the Amkor schools.

I trained for 30 years at Amkor. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my adult life and was a major component leading to personal and professional success. I would still be training if not for a series of knee injuries I miss it daily. Thank you to Master Wallace, Master Kremin, and Master Scott

My parents and I checked out a bunch of different schools in the area when I was 9. After watching numerous classes and meeting various instructors, it became obvious that AmKor was the best; the level of technique and professionalism is unmatched. After 10 years of training and competing that idea has only been reinforced. Amkor has given me outstanding opportunities, from developing the discipline to overcome life obstacles to winning Golds in World tournaments. You won't find a better school.
