We have been part of something so much bigger than ourselves for over a year now. This is a REAL accredited Martial Arts DoJo. The Master's here do NOT teach my son only for money. They are involved in his home life, social life, schools and grades. Our son had been in Occupational and physical therapy for many many years... We no longer are because everything that he is trained in at AMSDA has fully replaced those life skills. We are truly blessed by AMSDA and strongly recommend you try.

This is the best martial arts school in the Lehigh Valley. The history and depth of the curriculum is second to none. I have trained here for almost 13 years in Kempo, Jujutsu and Aikido. We are a family and always welcome new students! I have seen a transformation in myself, my granddaughter and so many other students. I am proud to call Aikido Masters my dojo.

Aikido Masters Self-Defense Academy is a great place for families to learn practical martial arts. The instructors are great, friendly, and really care about their students. I would highly recommend this school to anyone. The owner has written several books about the martial arts, and has been practicing since he was a kid. Each year they have the most amazing Summer retreat in the Catskills. It truly is the best martial arts in the Lehigh Valley.

This is a great place for adults and children. The instructors are patient and teach well. I like the techniques we learned here. And while they do conditioning and flexibility training,the moves don't require you to spin, flip, fly in the air or do a full split. They are practical and realistic and you leave each class feeling more confident. They also have a few other martial arts styles they incorporate into the Aikido. You get a well rounded education in the martial arts because of this and nothing is left out. You learn how to hit and evade hits thrown at you, defend grabs, and if you end

My son has been with Aikido Academy for a few months now and I have noticed a real positive difference in his personality and behavior. He loves going to his weekly martial arts classes and is getting amazing feedback from the instructors. They are all professionals, and not only show you how to perform the moves but instruct you on the correct form, and movements, and give lots of personalized attention. The kids (students) in the class are kind and respectful to each other. The atmosphere is friendly and clean, and the owner is super nice and attentive to all questions and concerns I may have
