My son has gone here several years now, plus I'm a black belt in another style who has visited countless other dojos over the years. If you enjoy karate, sparring, forms, and classes like that, this is a great place. I have always been welcome to spar, treated with respect. The kids love the classes. He really knows his kenpo.If you want something different from just TKD or mma, and enjoy stand up, you'll like the place. Go check it out. Rates are affordable, and worth the price by far.

My son was getting bullied at school, we started coming here so that he would learn not just self defence but also to build his self esteem. DAVE you are so gifted with kids! My son's experience at school has really changed since he started coming to your studio, I credit you and your studio for him walking with his head a tad higher. I'm a single mom, I appreciate the positve male influence you provide for him!

I started training at AKKS when I was 34 years old. That was back in 2008. I was new to karate and never really knew what I was getting myself into. I lacked self confidence when I started which has now changed drastically for the better. Not just self confidence to be able to protect myself and my family but self confidence with everything that I do in life (family, friends and work). This past weekend, I received my 1st Degree Black Belt (a dream of mine since I was a child). It was the toughest thing I have ever done in my life. If you are looking to train at a karate school to give you the best in training physically and mentally then this is the place to go. This is not a place to take lightly, it is hard and demanding but will certainly change your life for the better.
