We love going here for karate, my son looks forward to going! The instructors are amazing and are so kind and patient with their students. I would highly recommend!
Our children Ella and Noah have been attending the AKKA karate program for over 4 months. They really enjoy it and they have both shown increased confidence and focus. We look forward to watch them continue to learn and progress.
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!
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!

And while tradition is vital to keeping the art preserved, the way it is taught in today’s modern world isn’t as effective.

When we think of human behavior, we often first focus on the problems or deficits that people have and how this affects their achievements, or lack thereof.
