I have been a part of the MAA family for 16 years now. My sons both started training at age 3. The impact on their mind, body and spirit have been unparalleled. Training made my boys physically stronger, more agile and coordinated. This has helped them excel in other sports. Mentally, martial arts has improved their memory, discipline, self control and confidence. As training became more challenging, they maintained their goal of attaining their black belts.

There is no place better for your child to grow to their potential than MAA. Take a trial class and I promise it will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made once you see how well the program works. I consider Master Pfingsten and Mr. Craig as family and cannot give a higher recommendation for...
