AKKA Olathe Martial Arts

"My son has been attending classes here for years, learning Kenpo Karate. He loves the fun atmosphere and has enjoyed making new friends in the process of earning his black belt. While it can be difficult, the support system here keeps him determined to work harder and pushes him to be his best. It has helped him focus better, and he's learned to be more self disciplined. He looks forward to going to classes each week."

"I started at AKKA Olathe in my moms stomach while my brother and dad started classes back in 1995. By 1996 when i was born i was doing remodeling of there first locations by eating paint chips off the wall. Turned 4 and i finally was able to take classes, tiny tigers they called it at the time. This is where i learned the foundation of what grew to be a 13 year journey to achieving the honor of earning my jr 2nd degree black belt. My experience with the organization has helped me become the man i am today. It takes a community to raise a kid and my parents found a darn good one in AKKA Olathe. Now i am an actor living in atlanta following my dream using what i learned from karate to navigate life. Akka olathe may haved moved locations over the years, but there principals and dedication to teaching honest courtesy respect discipline and self control onto the growing and developing youth minds and adults alike. Teaching adults and lil dragons how to be in touch with their bodys minds and souls. Discussing in class what it means to put it all together and how to find peace. If you're looking for a place to learn and grow this is the place for you, especially in todays time where the internet is so in our faces, we need to disconnect and get back in touch with ourselves. That is some important. GO TAKE CLASSES!!"

"Great place, even better people. Daughter has Karate here twice a week and loves it. Lots of activities throughout the year, and the owner is very engaged, teaching classes often."

"My boys have gained so much from going to AKKA Karate. I wanted them to gain confidence and learn self-defense and that is definitely what has happened. The instructors are respectful towards the kids and work hard to help them achieve their goals. Even on the days my kids are feeling a little lazy, I see them smiling once they get in there and get engaged in the fun activities. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else, they are like family!"

"I signed my 3 boys up in 2000 because I wanted them to learn self-discipline and have more confidence. I joined a month later to share the experience. All 3 of my sons achieved the rank of Black Belt. One started at age 6 and earned 6 Black Belts. One earned the rank of 4th degree Black Belt. They all grew to be better men because of AKKA. They also went through the Boy Scout program. That is the 1- 2 punch of character building. I am still a student, teacher and proud member of this fine organization."
