Oriental Martial Arts College, World Headquarters

They are welcoming, friendly, and very sincere people with a ton of attention to the details. Love my kids' instructors at the New Albany branch.

Great school with very family friendly atmosphere Our situation was what we thought was different but has become very common. Our daughter started her journey at another school at age 6 and we came to OMAC when she was 12. Since joining OMAC, they have refined her previously learned skills and have pushed her to the next level. She has always competed, but since joinkng OMAC, the support and knowledge of the instructor staff has helped her win over 60 medals, 2 grand champions, five top 5s at AAU Nationals and five top 5s at the ISKA World Championships to include 3 World Championships. Pictured are a few of her instructors with her trophies and medals after competition. Highly recommend OMAC to anyone who is looking to develop as a martial artist and looking to learn how to better themself.

I joined OMAC 14+ years ago, when my son was in elementary school and wanted to try martial arts. As a kid, he eventually lost interest, but I found a lifelong home. I'm now a 4th degree black belt and enjoy it so much, I also became a national level referee and instructor. Great atmosphere and wonderful friendly community.

OMAC was a huge disappointment. They act nice and humble before you sign the contract, but after you sign the contract, the staff doesn't listen to any of your concerns. There are many fights that occur, and many supervisors don't take the rightful action. I signed a three year contract with them, which I regret. They make you pay money for days you don't attend. (Even on Christmas break). If you want to quit the program, they won't allow it, and you will still have to pay for classes you don't attend. My humble advice is to never join OMAC. It's a scam.

Don’t sign a contract with them. Doesn’t matter if you have a family illness, or you lose your job, or your work schedule conflicts with classes, or your child doesn’t like the class, whatever the case… they will relentlessly pursue you for the entire amount of however many years you agreed to enroll your child. Even if that means your child does not attend class for years, they will turn you over to a collection agency. I can’t remember the name of the secretary I spoke to while we were there, but she was one of the worst human beings I’ve ever encountered. Family oriented, no. Cutthroat, absolutely. Not to mention, they are a black belt factory. When I see a bunch of kids running around with black belts and teaching other kids, it’s hard to take them seriously.
