Such a welcoming team, always pushing her to go above and beyond, she's such a confident competitor now. I trust Mike and Aubrey so much that my 6 yr old niece, my dad and myself joined the team. They have such a clean facility, impeccable restrooms, private lockerrooms/changing rooms, a waiting area for the parents with a very clear view of the mats and a play room for the kids to wait in while parents train. This gym has become part of my family.

The owner, John, was very hands on. He clarified a lot of things for me as far as technique and showed me things that will greatly help me. What stood out to me was that John spent so much time with me knowing that I was just a one time drop in. The facility itself was nice, mats were clean and there was plenty of parking. In closing I can say that I had such a good time that I will definitely be back. Keep up the good work and thanks again John.

Her safety away at college pushed us to sign up, and what a difference it has made for all of us in different ways! John and his team will help strengthen skills like problem solving under pressure, being aware, being authoritative, identifying and evaluating threats, protecting and defending yourself and others, and so much more! I had not trained in martial arts or any fighting system, so I came in as a total novice. Several years ago, I took a 90-minute women's self-defense class at another facility. Coming here, I realized self-defense is a lot more extensive than I thought (i.e. defending from a knife from the front versus behind, defending a side choke hold versus a straight punch, performing a gun disarm from the chest versus from the back, etc). This system teaches self-defense in dozens of different situations, so you feel empowered to handle different circumstances--including single and multiple attackers. This isn't a one-and-done type of training; you will learn so much, and the more you come, the more it will become second nature so you can learn to handle dynamic situations efficiently and safely. John and his team made me and my family feel very welcome from the start, and we quickly felt like family at the facility. The team is very generous with their time and patience to ensure students are absorbing the training by adjusting instruction in terms you can relate to. John constantly asks for feedback--further showing how much they genuinely care. His other instructors (like Sam, the Muay Thai Boxer and Jempy) attend other classes outside of their own, so they share their expertise across classes. You go at your own pace, so you go to as many or as few classes as you want. There are plenty of classes to choose from! It is also great how the fitness classes are complementary to the type of self-defense and combat training being taught at the facility. Shout out to Tyrone (boxing instructor) for his awesome Combat Fitness class! Lastly, we have been impressed with how many students have been training with John and his team for 5+ years, plus how many families attend. That speaks volumes! On top of that, other students who have been there a while are very nice to help and encourage newcomers like me. It is a strong family atmosphere. Try them out!

Istvan Burgyan (I apologize if the spelling is wrong) has served humanity for most of his life…read more During and after his service to his country, he has been training adults and youth to defend themselves and their families, always emphasizing respect and self discipline as an integral part of the curriculum. His leadership style is one of involvement and commitment. He will never ask his students to do anything he is not himself willing to do. I trained with Academy of Martial Arts for several years in my 30's. When I began I was soft and stiff, clumsy. I stopped training there because of a scheduling conflict that I just couldn't resolve, but I have never regretted the time I spent there. Sah Bom Nim (Istvan) is a stern instructor, who will not accept a half hearted effort. He will, however, tirelessly assist anyone who shows real effort to learn. He never tolerates disrespect, and shouldn't. If anyone has earned respect in this world, it is him. My older son also trained here. When we started, he had recently been diagnosed with severe ADHD, and I firmly believe that his time at AMA was integral in his success elsewhere in life. He studies engineering now. In summary: if you're looking to learn techniques to beat up random people, go somewhere else. If you want to begin the journey of self discovery and adversity that is martial arts, and really see what you're capable of, AMA might just be the place for you.

I signed my three children up and they can't get enough of it. The pricing is very reasonable and worth every penny.

This is the only facility that offers wrestling in Montgomery, and being new to the area I am extremely satisfied and excited to watch my children grow. The owner offers a free week of classes before committing to anything, which was so awesome. You have to check this gym out!! You will not be disappointed.
