CALL TO ASK ABOUT OUR 2 MONTH "TRY AND TRAIN" SPECIAL. CLASSES ARE FILLING UP QUICKLY.
We are UNIQUE! No other school in the county offers age/rank appropriate simultaneous instruction.
CASE STUDY: Picture a class with 8 year olds, teenagers, AND adults of all different belt levels all training at the same time on the same floor... as much fun as that sounds,
This method is completely flawed... the real question is this: Which of the above students does the instructor teach while the rest of the student base suffers, not getting fed at the level they need to excell in the martial arts.
It is our belief that no matter how you try to justify it: teaching students in this manner is unacceptable and cheapens the students investment. It makes NO SENSE to us and provides a HUGE disservice to its students.
That is why all the classes taught at THE ACADEMY OF MARTIAL ARTS STUDIES are designed to fit the age and experience of each student we train. That's just one of many reasons...
Our dojo is a family run, family based training facility
* No big egos strutting around here - our teachers may be internationally recognized and respected,but they remain humble and approachable and have earned multiple university degrees (no fake "paid for" PhD's, Sokes or 10th Dans on our roster) .
* You enter a stranger, but leave a family member
* Hanshi Cullen has lived in Japan, taught seminars in China, Japan, Europe, the Caribbean and all over the USA for the last 40 years. His 50 years in the martial arts bring that experience to all of our classes from the 3 year olds to the grandmasters that travel 7 hours each way just to train with us.
More on why we do what we do: Come and see why the students at The Academy of Martial Arts Studies continue to train year after year with us. One reason is that we don't just toss students on the floor in a mish mash mixture or ages and ranks. When that occurs (like most schools in our area) NO ONE gets the proper instruction because there are very young mixed with teens or even adults and young white belts training next to brown or black belts of all ages. And that can be intimidating and scary to a child. OUR METHODS are proven sound and nurture students of all ages, so that they may learn at their own speed with peers their own ages and general rank/experience. As a result, the student base progresses together, lifting each other up and inspiring each other instead of fighting hard just trying to keep up. We pride ourselves on the one on one attention each and every student receives at The Academy and the results speak for themselves! So please come visit us, talk to our parents and students and find out what makes The Academy of Martial Arts Studies YOUR CHOICE FOR THE BEST KARATE, FITNESS, and DEFENSE.
MORE THAN JUST A KARATE SCHOOL: We are more than a karate school. We are a true Academy of Martial Arts Studies where we accommodate students from the age of 3 on up and instill in them the precepts of Health, Education and Commitment. We offer MORE CHOICES, MORE CLASSES AND MORE EXPERIENCE than any school in the area. All of our instructors are Nationally and Internationally Ranked and Certified. Most of our instructors are academically degreed as well as belted in a variety of martial arts disciplines which will be taught at The Academy.
OUR INSTRUCTORS ARE THE BEST! Our martial arts instructors have over 100 years of martial arts experience ranging from 50 years to a minimum of 8 years per instructor. Hanshi Cullen's seminar series is highly sought after and it has led him to Europe, the Caribbean, Japan, China and all over the USA to share his unique insight and martial arts experience.
About Our Facilities
Our facility offers an 3,600 SQ FT area so we can accommodate the running of more than one class or split the class up into different levels at the same time. We have designed and built two stand alone karate schools that offer different classes at the same time. This allows students the ability to work in a group of peers and at their own growth rate. Our Beginner Series Classes offer a family the option to have Adult Parent beginners train on one side with a certified instructor while their kids train on the other side with their own instructor. NO ONE ELSE DOES THIS.
