AKKA Olathe Martial Arts

My son (4) started taking classes at AKKA a few months ago and I couldn't be happier with our experience! The. Little Dragons class he attends twice a week helps him with his coordination, following direction and focus while helping him burn energy, have fun and learn good sportsmanship. I think he's developed in all of these areas which is a testament to his amazing teacher, and other teachers who actually take the time to get to know ALL the kids, even if they aren't teaching their class. Seeing how many of the older kids who have been practicing at the dojo much longer than us, interact with my son and the other younger kids, encouraging them and even helping them learn sometimes is so wonderful to see. If you're looking for a fun, engaging activity that will help your child develop physically, mentally and emotionally, I can't recommend them enough!

My son loves this place. I appreciate their approach and attention they give the newbies. Mr. Bradberry is great with the kids, perfect balance between supporting and correcting.

I was a student many years ago and I would highly recommend AKKA. Conditioning, discipline and competition and a lot of fun. A great place to study!

My daughter used to have confidence issues. However, once she started coming to AKKA Olathe, this all changed. She started in their Little Dragons program with joy and has worked her way past since. In fact, she is disappointed when we can't make a class, now. I highly recommend this academy for martial arts!Additionally, I go here for tai chi. Their classes are not only informative, but relaxing!

The instructors are EXCELLENT in creating classes that engage whatever age group they work with at the time. They have classes from littles all the way to adult. Our 8 year old has been attending for a year and a half. He's still very excited about it. Their communication is top notch and their prices are very competitive. I have recommended them to friends and neighbors.

I've been taking Tai Chi classes here for seven years. This is a total program that not only includes low impact exercise, but also the history and fundamentals of the practice. Knowledgeable instructors. Caring, accepting environment. Especially good for older people.

Truly a great experience full of great people and great morals even when you are down one of the instructors will find anyway to help. You learn incredibly useful things here related to self-defense are there problems yes but, there are problems with everything give this place a chance. You as a person will take away something from this place. It is a great experience please I beg you to give it a chance.

This place is amazing, I do fitness kickboxing and my son does karate.. we have been attending for about 3 years now. I love all the instructors. If you are thinking of a place to send your child or somewhere to get your fitness on. I recommend.If you ever have questions just stop on by and ask. You will not regret it.

I can not begin to explain in a review what this school has been for our family. We started about 5 years ago after one of the instructors taught a 6 week class at our elementary school. My oldest daughter and my husband started together (at the time she was 7). We wanted her to build confidence and learn how to defend herself if she ever needed to. Little did we know then, what that would truly mean 4 years down the road at their black belt test. Karate teaches you to strive for little goals to achieve a bigger goal. At each belt you can look back you can see the progress you've made and know that you are better than you were the last time. You are stronger and more confident. You don't have to compete against someone else to in order to get ahead because you are all working for the same goals. You cheer each other on because you have been there before and you know what it felt like...and that builds this incredible family of support. A family that isn't just there for you in class, but goes "beyond the mats" to support you, celebrate with you, build you up and challenge you to be a better person. Since that time 4 years ago, our entire family of 5 are all taking at least one or more classes at the school (Karate, Storm, Tai Chi, MMA, Fitness Kickboxing and Little Dragons). I can't say enough about all of the instructors. They are humble and knowledgeable. They will challenge you and take time to help when you need it. They are kind but expect our very best. I respect each them and the time they have put into our school and our students.

Level of attention to students has plummeted from years past. My son was left crying by himself when the "instructors" ignored him while learning moves. We overheard other instructors complaining about not wanting to teach the smaller kids. Owner was active and around when we signed up, but eventually was never to be seen around the Olathe location. The level of service and professionalism is about half of what we experienced when we first signed up. Definitely don't recommend
