American Martial Arts Academy

Instructor is very very very strict and disciplined. I love that he is not only teaching your child karate but he teaching them discipline and how to behave and function properly. Best instructor you could ever give a son

Looking for a great place to sign up your kids for martial arts or to train yourself? This is THE place! This dojo is wonderful. Sensai Erik and his team are simply the best. They are knowledgeable, encouraging, and their passion for martial arts is evident every day. My oldest son has been here for five years and now, all my boys attend classes. They have learned so much and have also grown in so many personal areas, such as discipline and respect. The relationship all of the kids have with each other is amazing to see and it truly feels like a family atmosphere. We love this place!

If you're just looking for a martial arts school to teach your child a few kicks and punches—this is not the place for you. But if you’re looking for a place where your child will be trained, challenged, supported, and genuinely cared for—both mentally and physically—this is it. I’m a very protective mom, and I don’t take it lightly where I leave my kids. But the moment I walked into this academy, I knew they were safe. Safe physically, emotionally, and in every other way. Sensei Eric and Sensei Bobby are incredibly disciplined and structured, but what really stands out is their patience, consistency, and heart. They don’t just teach martial arts—they teach confidence, respect, perseverance, and accountability. Their methods work. I’ve seen it firsthand. My son is growing not just in skill, but in self-esteem, focus, and discipline. And what really makes the difference is that every child in that dojo is seen and heard. No one gets overlooked. No one gets left behind. This is a family-owned academy, and you feel it from day one. Once you’re in, you’re family—no ifs, ands, or buts. I drop off my kids and trust the process. I don’t interfere because I trust the team 100%. They’ve earned it. Whether your child is shy, energetic, strong-willed, or struggling—this academy meets them where they are and helps them grow. And it's not just karate—they're learning real-world self-defense, balance, discipline, and how to carry themselves with confidence and kindness. I wholeheartedly recommend this martial arts academy for any parent who wants more than just another after-school activity.

Sensei EriK and the team at American Martial Arts Academy are absolutely fantastic. From the moment you walk into the studio, you can feel the positive energy and dedication. Sensei Eric is not only highly skilled, but also genuinely cares about each student’s growth—physically, mentally, and emotionally. The classes are well-structured and engaging, with a perfect balance of discipline, respect, and fun. Whether you’re looking for martial arts training for your kids or yourself, this studio offers an encouraging and safe environment for all ages and skill levels. The genuine love he has for those children is truly inspiring and fresh to see.

My daughter has been in AMAA since she was 4 years old and she is now 10 years old. One of the best karate schools out there. Sensei Erik is a great instructor, we have done private classes with him once a week and that helped our daughter tremendously. We started with just karate, we added Point fighting and continuous, and now she does BJJ and Muy Thai also. We are truly a family at this karate school is a feeling I can't describe until you join. I will recommend it and you won't regret it. Erik knows how to get the best out of your kid. You think they have bad behavior, they won't stay still my kid won't listen, and so on. Leave that out the door, This karate school is a game changer and you will see results in behavior and school achievements. Come on in and see it for yourself.
