This place is amazing, they teach all the kids really well. Mark the owner is very nice and helps out as much as he can. The kids seem to have fun and learn so much self defense which in this day and age is much needed while growing up. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting their child to grow and learn themselves into better youth or young adults.

My daughter has been going here for over a year now and American Academies of Martial Arts has been one of the best things that have happened in her life. It has made her stronger, more helpful, listens more, and has been way more confident. The owner Mr G is one of the most helpful and caring people I know out there. I would recommend AAMA to anyone willing to bring something more into their lives.

Mark is a great mentor for my little girl. He takes the time to make sure the kids are all learning. Mark tries to help all the kids in turn, so no one has all the spot light. he is also great at giving updates if you have to miss a session.
