I can’t recommend Ohana Martial Arts enough.
My son started training there, 6 months later my wife joined and 6 months after that I started.
Starting a whole new sport at 40 years old was a daunting experience but Master Main, Sensei Anita, all the Senior belts and students welcomed me with open arms and have helped us all progress to where we are now.
Being able to train in the same class as my wife and son is the best family activity we do, and we are always lookin forward to the next class or tournament.
The classes are an amazing workout and have not only helped me increase my overall

My oldest son has been training at OMA for about four years. I've been training for about a year and a half, and my youngest started about two months ago.
I've trained in many different scenarios over a wide range of sports throughout my life, and OMA exemplifies what martial arts can do for an individual, family, and a community.
The arts taught are practical, broad-based, relevant, and always evolving. The structure of the school produces excellence across belt and skill levels. Though there are clearly stand out students, the best senior students are constantly being challenged by the junior

It's being a year that we started training at Ohana Martial Arts! It is a great place where everyone is encouraged to challenge themselves to become the best they can be, while learning to appreciate who they are right now. Great family bonding activity and an amazing way to work towards goals together. Great team, great energy, great dynamic training! Always treated very respectful since day one! My kids said that Ohana martial arts are their second family and appreciate very much the opportunity to learn martial arts in an amazing school! Thanks to Master Paul Main, Sensei Anita, Seniors and

Ohana martial arts has a big impact in my life and I highly recommend it. it’s been a year since I started training at OMA. Before I started martial arts. I had a lot of anger issues and used to be a “act bad” type of person. and I wasn’t really humble at all before. I definitely wasn’t the man that I am today. when I joined, master main and the senior belts definitely taught me to be humble and be confident in myself , having good manners , respect others , great discipline , dedication and being committed. and mostly learning to control myself and emotions. I’m really glad to part

I highly recommend Ohana Martial Arts for both children and adult training. My son started training almost 2 years ago and after about a year I joined as well. Master Paul Main and Sensei Anita Main are excellent teachers and it truly shows in all of their highly skilled and respectful senior belts. I have been able to train in the same classes with my son while getting in shape and learning multiple martial arts disciplines. I am very happy with my decision to join Ohana Martial Arts.

As a long time student of Ohana Martial Arts I would definitely recommend (and do recommend quite often) this school. The atmosphere is great and Master Main and Master Anita really make the school feel like one big family. The amount of knowledge I have learned under Master Main would definitely come in handy if I was put in a dangerous situation. Before coming to this school I did check out a few before signing up with O.M.A, and I DO NOT REGRET MY DECISION of joining this school!

Joining Ohana Martial arts with my daughter is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made to gain strength, awareness, and confidence while learning self defense. It’s nice to be able to train in the same class as my daughter. It’s a feel good/humble atmosphere and the sportsmanship is amazing! There’s so much support from all the students who are consistently guiding and encouraging us. Learning from Master Main, Sensei Anita, and all the senior belts is truly a gift.

My kids have been with Ohana Martial Arts for a little over a year now and from the start they were comfortable with everyone within the school. Master Main works closely with all of his students no matter if your a senior belt or just starting. When my kids just started they worked very closely with my kids making sure they were taken cared of and not left behind. The knowledge, discipline, and respect that my kids have learned is priceless. Master Mains technique of teaching is unique. I was in martial arts when I was a kid and the teachings back then is nothing compared to what Master Main offers
