My son has attended this school for over 8 years. They provide excellent training in martial arts and development opportunities for the whole person. Additionally, they have always operated with a strong community focus that makes all feel welcomed and creates a safe space for their students. I am grateful for the positive impact AMMA continues to make in my child's life and I highly recommend them!

Not just another karate place where you learn to punch and kick ( although my kids like this very much). They take a whole body whole mind approach. Self awareness, focus and refocus, how to break out of holds ( stranger grabs them, how to get away),space awareness ( understand where you are, how far you can reach etc), work on balance, along with all the fun karate moves. I am very happy AMMA. My first son is 9 and have been going here since he was 5. My second son is almost 5 and started 1 year ago and likes it very much. I feel I am part of a community here. Highly recommend.

I have been training martial arts for the better part of 20 years, and this is hands down the best school I have ever trained at. Sifu Chris focus the lessons around sparing, not forms. Thus, students learn excellent control and safety, while getting to confidence that only the practicum of sparing can bring. There is also a very strong focus around State Management, or the mental component of martial arts. These skills don’t just make you a smarter fighter but allow you to find advantage in almost any situation life throws your way. If you have ever considered training in Martial Arts, this

My daughter has been coming to AMMA for several years, and the positive impact it has had on her is incredible. The teachers are so committed to helping their students feel confident, capable and comfortable in their own skin. It's a truly beautiful thing to see my daughter and all of the students growing and becoming stronger, more resilient, braver versions of themselves. Plus it's pretty darn cool seeing them develop amazing ninja moves at the same time! :-)

My son and I have been studying martial arts at AMMA since 2014. What was initially intended as a way for him to stay active and learn to defend himself, has become one of the most treasured experiences that the two of us share. We owe much of that to the folks at AMMA, who have created a complete kit for those interested in martial arts training: skills, philosophy and community. We are very happy to have found AMMA.

Our family considers Sifu’s Christopher and Kristine Boyer family! We’ve been part of the martial arts community for many years and can not imagine life without these amazing people! AMMA isn’t like any other martial arts school. There’s so much more than physically defending yourself that you learn at AMMA; incredible life skills for adults and children, respectful communication and consideration and so much more. We highly, highly recommend this martial arts school!

My son and I started studying with Christopher and Kristine at the Academy of Modern Martial Arts in Lake Oswego when he was 6. he's now 24 (we had a few breaks, including moving to TX for awhile). They teach life skills in addition to self-defense. These skills include clear communication, how to perform/communicate/deal with internal and external pressures and challenges, how to learn and how to work with and teach others. Christopher has taught at team-building events for the groups I manage at work. I highly recommend AMMA.

When my 5 year old daughter decided to try martial arts I was not sure where to start looking. I read countless reviews and descriptions of types of martial arts and schools that were more like cattle herders than one on one concentration. I came across AMMA online and decided to give it a try. Our first visit my daughter was greeted and welcomed and she fit right in. Since then I have noticed the attention to detail the staff and owners put into their school. Not only do they provide a high quality education but they provide a healthy and friendly fitness environment. Kids always look happy to
