“MKA is an incredible place to train. Everyone I’ve trained with has been kind, humble, and incredibly knowledgeable. Classes cover everything from strength and conditioning to high end mechanics. The teachers at this dojo will meet you where you are at, they will recognize your strengths and build you up, while also helping you realize the aspects of your training that you’d like to improve on. There is an air of humility and respect, my favorite part of this amazing dojo. I would highly recommend MKA to anyone who is looking to improve their mind and body, while also learning how to defend themselves, in an atmosphere that feels like a community that has each other’s backs.“

“My 2½-year-old son, Mason, absolutely loves Master Kim and all of the instructors! My son is a clingy little boy and often struggles with doing things independently, but at Master Kim’s, he confidently tells me bye and walks right in. He enjoys every second of it and has been learning so quickly.

Since joining about two months ago, I have seen noticeable progress in his discipline, perseverance, and confidence. Some people may think their methods are “strict,” but their approach truly works. The structure, care, and consistency make such a positive difference.

I love the variety in their teaching. Each class is different and the kids are so excited to be there and learn no matter what they are doing.

I couldn’t recommend this place enough. They already feel like family to us, and I feel honored to have them be a part of my son’s learning journey.“

I've been to several martial arts schools and studios in my life and this school ties for the number one spot.“

“We just started and my boys absolutely love it here and always look forward to going! The team here are so welcoming. The class for the littles is pretty big but the instructors are so kind and patient with each one of them. One thing I’ve noticed at every class is there are others who steps in and help with the littles when they see them struggling with something and show how proud they are of them when they got it. They sure do make every kid here feel important.“
