The instructors at this facility are wonderful people. The atmosphere is perfect for people of any age who are wanting to improve or condition both mentally and physically. They are definitely masters of their craft, knowledgeable and respectful. I would recommend AKKA to anyone!
Eddie Venn
After 4 1/2 months in the program we have noticed a big improvement in both of our girls. They have increased their strength in physical training by leaps and bounds. We have noticed that they are able to concentrate better and they are more respectful of others. The personal attention they have received from their instructors has taken them from zero knowledge in martial arts to having a sound grasp of the basics. The instructors are quick to address any needs or concerns we may have. We are very happy we have our children in this program!

Natalie Gowan
My son really enjoys karate and has learned a lot in the time he has attended here.
Samson Simpson
Akka karate has done wonders for my daughter! She has more self confidence, pride, integrity and a stronger mind. The instructors there really care for their students and just not in martial arts. They even offered to help with school work if I was unable to. We tried a couple of other schools before attending Akka and I wish we started here first. They have their own studio so you know it's just not a side job and classes aren't overfilled so students get one on one time with their instructors. I am very grateful that my daughter is a student at Akka.
