It's a small school. The classes are small. Each student gets close, loving, personal attention. The school is flexible, giving new students a chance to check it out before making a big commitment. I can't overstate what a positive impact Amherst Martial Arts has had on my 13-year-old son's life.

The head, or sabumnim, of the studio, or dojang, is Annie Schwarz, a 4th degree black belt, who founded Amherst Martial Arts in 1991. Annie has a terrific manner with children that is supportive and builds confidence, self-reliance, and camaraderie.

Amherst Martial Arts, a taekwondo school, is a really special space in Amherst. It has been operating for more than 20 years, educating countless children, as well as hosting summer camps (taekwondo, swimming, and horseback riding). It's the complete program: philosophy, strength, forms, and practical application -- self defense and sparring.
