Alpha Martial Arts LLC

This review is long overdue, as I began my journey at Alpha more than ten years ago, and it has been nothing but positive ever since! Alpha Martial Arts and the people there have transformed my life. This is a fun, supportive and welcoming environment where both kids and adults can not only get lots of exercise and develop physical skills, but also grow mentally and emotionally as well. All past and current instructors at the dojo have been fantastic role models, and I really believe the owner, Mr. Herrman, has had a marked positive impact on the wider Bryant/Ravenna community. I’m so glad that when I was younger my parents decided to sign me up for karate classes here. If you, your kid, or someone you know is interested in learning martial arts and growing your confidence through physical activity, do yourself a favor and check out Alpha Martial Arts!

As a parent of two kids who’ve been training at Alpha Martial Arts for over five years, I couldn’t be happier with our experience. The instructors are highly skilled, patient, and positive, fostering a supportive environment where children build confidence, discipline, and respect. In addition to experienced senior black belts, AMA has an outstanding team of teen instructors who serve as inspiring role models for younger students. Over the years, my children have grown not only in their martial arts abilities but also in focus, perseverance, and teamwork. The program teaches valuable life skills and weaves important lessons into every class. AMA truly feels like a community, and I’m deeply grateful for the lasting impact it has had on my kids’ character and well-being. Highly recommended!

We love AMA! My son started there when he was 5 yrs old. He is now 8 and still loves it. The community is kind and supportive. The powerful words program is great and helps reinforce values that we stress at home. Their leadership program is like none I’ve ever seen. They really support students who are interested in leadership roles. My son also loves the summer camps!

I joined Alpha when I was a little kid and worked my way to Black Belt over several years. When I first joined, I had poor motor skills and was socially isolated, but I gradually became a proficient martial artist and a confident leader. I learned important life lessons, such as respect for others and belief in myself. The instructors are passionate about their art, patient with children, and overwhelmingly positive role models. This is the best place to take a "problem child" so that child can learn how to turn their differences into advantages!

My daughter has been a student at AMA since she was kindergarten, she is now a freshman in high school! The AMA teachers are highly skilled teachers who make learning fun! Our daughter has earned her first degree junior black belt and feels confident on and off the mat. We can’t recommend AMA enough! The teachers love what they do and that energy transfers to their students!
