The classes they run
“We love going here as a family my daughter takes karate and he is real patient with her and all the kids and me and my Husband ❤️ go here and we have learned a lot.”
“He doesnt just teach moves; he breaks down the 'why' behind every technique, focusing on practical, real-world self-defense rather than just sport sparring.”

From the reviews
Excellent instructor and very welcoming environment. Enrolled my daughter in his classes and she loves it! just watching Patrick teach all of his younger students was inspiring. He’s a fantastic teacher with a ton of patience and knowledge of all types of martial arts.
I’ve been training woth Patrick for couple of months, and it has been so fun and educational. He is incredibly welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable. He doesnt just teach moves; he breaks down the 'why' behind every technique, focusing on practical, real-world self-defense rather than just sport sparring.
My 2 daughters and I have been attending AMA for several years. Patrick is very knowledgable and knows a lot of different styles. We learn self defense, Taekwondo, and groundwork in addition to kickboxing. The actual gym is very basic but has everything you need.
Pat is a great instructor and he takes time with each child to make sure they learn and it is not just about money to him. It is about the children and adults under his leadership.
Your first kickboxing class at Academy of Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
