About Us

Students have a wide variety of reasons for undertaking martial arts training. For some, improved physical fitness is the goal; for others, it is weight loss. For many, the goal is to be able to defend oneself in an increasingly violent and inhospitable world. This wide spectrum of students’ goals means that the programs offered need to be tailored to the individual student. At KMA, we have turned this need into a reality.
Key Martial Arts is honored to offer American Kenpo/Kempo as our main self-defense style, but we also draw from multiple disciplines as needed, in order to provide every student with complete and well-rounded training. This specialized system gives our students the best self-defense tools available. Our high-energy classes not only give students a great workout, but also improve their strength, flexibility, and endurance.

Testimonials!

Both of our children have been attending this dojo now for almost four years. Our oldest is a high schooler and youngest is a middle schooler currently. Two years ago, we moved an hour south. However, both of the kids LOVE their dojo family so much that we make the drive twice a week. The love, lessons, and laughing are well worth it!

The senseis were the best! Very motivational and really helped transform our son from being a little shy and scared to completely outgoing and not afraid of anything. The environment was great and the kids always seemed to have a great time learning and improving. Unfortunately we moved away and had to look around for alternatives, and all the places we brought him to so far were blown away by how advanced he'd gotten with only a year of training. I put that all up to Sensei Matt's awesome teaching skills and ability to really motivate the kids to want to push themselves and do their best. If you've got a kid who hasn't tried martial arts before, take them in, try the free lesson, let him help your kid like he did w/ ours 🙂

We have been going to Key Martial Arts for way over a year. Our child has become stronger and more confident. Mr. and Mrs. Sensei are very professional and work really well with children. Our child loves going there and always practices at home, and sometimes even in the grocery store. Key martial arts is the place to go to find confidence in yourself and to get fit.

I cant say enough about this Dojo!! While it started out just for my middle son, all 3 of my children now do Karate! Mr. And Mrs. Sensei are both wonderful! My 10 year old daughter has learned so many leadership skills and both my sons, 8 and 5 are better disciplined due to karate. Key Martial Arts is the best decision we made for their extra curricular activities!!

My grandchild attends Key Martial Arts and loves it! Both Sensei and Mrs. Sensei are great role models for young children. The Sensei is always firm yet fair with the children to instill that discipline they need. Mrs. Sensei is always kind and gentle with the children to show them that confidence they have in each child. They treat everyone like family always addressing everyone with a smile and sincerity. What a great duo! What a great experience for all! I urge everyone to check out a class you will be happy you did.
