In those formative years, Gordon held our child's attention and respect, while instilling qualities of cooperation, hard work, goal orientation, and structure -- all for a very bright kid who had ADHD. Now, in hindsight, I appreciate his karate school experience (even more), as a big part of the success our son has achieved. Thank you SJSKK!

My child has been attending this karate school for just about a year now. Unlike the review above…read moreme, I have found Ed Ianucci to be one of the most caring and fair men in this industry. His school is made up of a majority of black and brown children, as is his staff. He is always super personable to the parents and I have been a witness to him going ABOVE AND BEYOND to help any of his family members/students. The school is professionally ran, always clean, and above all safe. You get free uniforms and there is always some type of promotion running. Bottom line, after a year of attending... I feel privileged to have my child under his care. We love Kim's and I dare you to have one conversation with Ed and tell me you don't find this review accurate.

One leaves a class feeling both fit and empowered, having acquired a new self-defense technique or two. Donning my boxing gloves and delivering upper-cuts to (or just pounding the hell out of) a bag is not only terrific exercise but it also an amazing stress-reliever. Although I am less a fan of the kicking part of kick-boxing, I cannot quibble with the results--legs of steel--strong quads and hamstrings, which do not fatigue during long runs for my next half-marathon. Phenomenal exercise at any age! Thank you!!!

3/24/23 UPDATE So…read moreit's been a year at AMAA and this is our last day. Things were good in the beginning, especially when we first signed up. Sensei Paul was very nice and my son felt comfortable and happy being there. My wife and I feel like everything changed when we told Sensei Paul that we are not renewing our membership because we decided to try a different activity for our son. There were two main things that happened that changed our mind about ever returning there in the future. A few weeks ago, he called out our son for having a few stains on his uniform in front of the entire class and told him that his parents need to wash his uniform. We heard after the fact that he had done that to a few other students as well (and one of them never returned to his class). But today was the last straw. After accidentally walking on the carpet to run and use the bathroom before class, Sensei Paul yelled with anger and told him to take off his shoes (after he was already almost all the way across the floor). We know that he has this rule about taking off their shoes, but he allows parents to walk to the bathroom with their shoes on, so this is kind of a double standard. Our son ended up not using the bathroom and went back to his seat and began to cry. Just because he accidentally went to the bathroom with his shoes, there is no justification for behaving in an unprofessional manner. My wife and I feel that there are kinder, gentler ways that a teacher can reprimand a student. This can also be done in private instead of publicly shaming a 6 year old in front of his peers (and their parents). When I confronted Sensei Paul about him yelling at my son, he told me that if I didn't like the rules, then I can leave. So that is what we did tonight- we never stayed for class. After being there a whole year and paying a lot of money to be there, this is how you treat someone's child? Well, we WERE planning on signing up our second child for classes in the future, but after this happened, we will never send him to classes there or recommend this place to anyone.
