Akka Karate USA

Wow!!! I have been an athlete my entire life and have never before had such effective workouts! Not to mention each class actually gets me one step closer to a Black Belt (life long dream). I’m 43 and only eight months into the program. Goes to show it’s never too late to start!
After a couple of months of training in the Kenpo program, I joined the Tai Chi program as well, and cannot even begin to describe the depth of my experience. Having done yoga for over two decades, I thought I knew what to expect from a slow moving martial art, but I am blown away!!! Not only is the instructor brilliant, gifted, patient, and wise, the forms and movements have stretched and healed my body. Tai Chi has proven to be my favorite of the two programs. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not really about one program over the other — they complement each other beautifully.

I have been taking karate lessons at AKKA for two years now, and I think the program is great. They provide a good combination of self-​defense technique, physical fitness, and hands-​on sparring and grappling that has not only improved my own self-​defense skills, but has helped me to become more physically fit overall. The attitude is very positive and encouraging here, and it is great for both kids and adults.
