Martial Arts Schools near New Albany

“The staff is very good with children of all ages and instructs so the whole class is able to learn.“

“Had a blast at the camp. This gym is clean, welcoming, respectful, safe. It is a good community and you can tell the owners care.“

“Legendary martial artists, an awesome contest, and very friendly. No inflated egos...“

“I have two little ones that attend karate classes at Thomas Karate Academy and I cannot recommend the experience enough! My kiddos have developed confidence while being pushed outside of their comfort zone by their instructors during classes. They’ve pushed themselves mentally and physically in ways other extracurricular activities just can’t reproduce.

The dojo is available to them five days a week and really works with our busy home life and overall schedule. They were able to partake in other sports or attend other obligations without sacrificing their karate lessons.

Overall, they’ve made friends with an array of students of all ages that attend classes here. We as parents have also made friends with some of the other parents. There is always a real effort on everyone’s part to participate in additional events — whether it’s a party, a potluck, or an extra “camp” hosted during school breaks. I’ve never felt anything other than welcome by not only the entire staff here, but also the families of all the other students. Everyone is always cheering each other on during testing or difficult/new teachings. My kids strive to try their best to make their instructors proud.

The prices here were a pleasant surprise after having priced other martial arts classes. We are always able to purchase their gear straight through the dojo for less than places online or in-town. I am so glad we reached out for a free first class for our littles because it was the perfect introduction to sports for both of them.“
