My two sons have thrived at American Karate and Self Defense. They have more self-control, self-respect, and self-confidence. Mr. and Mrs. Gomez give of their time in and out of class to make sure every student and parent feels welcome and wanted.
Mr. Cmar, one of the instructors, has had a HUGE impact on my son, who was quiet, and unsure of himself. My son would do just about anything the Gomez's or Mr. Cmar says, because he knows they care and want what's best for him. He respects them, us, and most of all, himself.
Our family can't say enough wonderful things about AK&SD. If you are considering starting your child, you can rest assured that whether he/she has behavior problems, confidence problems, or no problems, he/she will get the attention and information he/she needs to be successful at whatever is in his/her future.

AKSD is a great place to learn martial arts. if you're just starting out, you can go as hard and fast or as slow and soft as you want. you set your own pace and your own goals. the instructors won't push you too far and won't let you slack off either. there's usually a black belt around to give you individual instruction on anything you're not getting in class. if you're an accomplished martial artist, this is one of the best schools around. several black belts from other schools come to our school to get training they're not getting from their own. i started working out at AKSD when i was 36 (without any interest in working out in the past) and now i'm one of the instructors. this place really makes you feel like you're at home.
