 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both my daughters have been going here for about a year and half. Both have progressed well and really enjoy the classes. My oldest daughter has autism (level 1) and when they first started the transition to a new sport was very difficult for her. Master K was extremely flexible in allowing her to get comfortable in her own time. For about 3 months she took half-long classes until she was confident enough. Now, she goes Monday - Thursday most weeks and practices both BJJ and Taekwondo. My youngest daughter has ADHD and struggles with focus while the instructors are demonstrating. He has always been patient and stern with her - providing reminders but also making her sit out while she gets recentered to concentrate. She has made so much progress in following along and just received her camo belt. Overall, great teacher, great environment. He knows everyone's name and is so encouraging while also spreading wonderful messages of doing your best, being a good friend and leader. The only negative I have is communication. If not for this I would easily give 5 stars. They are great about posting events and information about upcoming tournaments, but belt testing and class closures are sometimes difficult to keep track of. Their used to be paper newsletters every month that was very helpful, but now everything is on a TV that changes screens. So, unless you see it you're SOL. There is a FB group so it would be cool if belt testing, etc. was also posted there as a reminder for busy parents - just a suggestion. Outside of that, we have been so pleased with this institution and can see how it has helped both of our daughters.

This is by far one of the best places ever, especially if you have a child that has ADHD. It will help mellow them out. I couldn’t be more happier. If I could give it a star rating of 1000 I would.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chief Master Kassebaum and all of the instructors @ KMA are fantastic. They are able to tailor each class to every level of student. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The facility is clean. Chief Master Kassebaum has answered any and all questions we have had along the way. All contracts and purchases have been well explained to us and documents are given for our records. The curriculum is well thought out and his knowledge is so impressive. I enjoy listening to the history of KMA and taekwondo when he sprinkles it in the lessons. I appreciate how they teach focus, discipline, leadership, and respect during the martial arts classes but they also have a lot of fun. There are often free "try-it' or "bring a friend" classes as well as trial classes offered. Would absolutely recommend KMA-we are happy with our decision to join.
