Lane Academy of Martial Arts

"Nice place. You pay for your classes almost like a gym membership, you pay a flat fee monthly which entitles you to attend as many classes a month as you want to, with up to 5 or 6 classes possible to attend a week, depending on your belt rank and age. Everyone there is just so nice and inclusive, it's almost like being part of one big family! I have tried two other places in Arvada before here, and this one is by far the best. I feel like I can have fun and learn at the same time without anyone yelling at me or getting mad that I can't do as many push-ups as they want me to- they are very inclusive to all physical skill sets. Would highly recommend!"

"Lane's Academy is the Best Karate Studio in Arvada, CO. This is the best Martial Arts Academy in Arvada Colorado. My husband attends and loves it. Very professional and a real sense of community."

"I have been training at Lane Academy for the last 2 years and love it. GrandMaster Lane is an incredible instructor. No contracts and the most affordable school around. They teach Tae Kwon Do and Tai Chi. Come in and look around, they will give you a couple of free weeks to try it out. By far and above, the best martial arts karate studio in Arvada."

"Our family has been incredibly fortunate to have found Lane Academy of Martial Arts. Grandmaster Matt Lane loves to teach, whether it is beginner skills to rambunctious 6-year-olds, or philosophy with advanced black belts. He has an instinct to reach out to meet each student at their level and interest. Kwan Jang Nim Lane has cultivated a rich historical perspective on how martial arts fit into today’s [insert words-of-choice] world. Each class is a combination of physical exertion, form, and strength training, as well as an opportunity to grow one’s awareness, grace, and understanding of the world around us. His disciplined focus on improving the whole self comes through in every class, from self-defense to self-care. This message reverberates through the growing village of students and families that make Lane Academy of Martial Arts so special. We first enrolled our 3-year-old and 5-year-old in Tae Kwon Do classes at LAMA for structured physical activity, and to help us provide a framework for their self-discipline, self-confidence, and self-esteem. We have received that, and so much more. KJN Lane has taken a personal interest in each child, working with their strengths and weaknesses, to help each thrive in their respective classes. Our youngest has advanced through the Little Dragon curriculum and is now very prepared to embark on the Beginner’s classes. The self-control and personal responsibility already showing in our kindergartener after his year of working with the instructor team at LAMA is beyond what we could have imagined last January. After the kids had been attending for six weeks, my wife’s interest was piqued, and she enrolled in the Tae Kwon Do classes, as well. She has been amazed at the progress she has made in her flexibility and balance with an opportunity in each class to challenge and push herself in a safe and supportive environment. The school is structured in such a way as she has opportunities to train in class with the kids, as well as in adult classes with a higher level of physical intensity. Lane Academy of Martial Arts also provides training and instruction in Tai Chi, which has also been transformative within my life. Grandmaster Lane’s capacity to create a curriculum that is both meditative and enriching, has made studying the forms and history of tai chi exciting and fun. Again, the classes are a combination of strengthening and recentering, with an extra focus on healthy lifestyles and positive thinking. Since our first day in class, our family has been able to bring our empty cup to Lane Academy of Martial Arts, and always be filled with wisdom, compassion, and encouragement!"

"Upon walking in to this martial arts school I never knew there could be such a calm about training. Master Lane is an amazing instructor who cares very deeply about his students. Very open and willing to walk with students and parents a like. Please, if you are looking for a martial arts school at the very least try their trial program. They have taken amazing efforts to ensure that training is safe from the covid pandemic. Every precaution is taken while training and even through this the training is amazing fun and the exercise is worth it. There are not enough words to describe the amazing attitude of Master Lane and his family other than motivated and grateful."
