Mid-Michigan Academy of Martial Arts

Walking in off the street 7+ years ago was one of the best decisions I've made in my life! more

I have been training with the Mid-Michigan Academy of Martial Arts for 20 years now. This program has done wonders for my life! I started out as the smallest kid in my 1st grade class with no self confidence. I was being picked on at school and wanted to learn how to defend myself. Like most children coming into a new activity, I was scared and apprehensive. Since the very first day of training I have been greeted with smiling faces and an uplifting, energetic atmosphere. This program has since built up my confidence, self esteem, discipline and focus. The instructors have taught me to be a more responsible person who focus on the good in other people and in the world around me. In addition, I am physically stronger, more flexible, and have more coordination than I had ever thought possible. I would whole heatedly recommend this martial arts school to anyone with an interest in self improvement and increased physical fitness. more

I was 13 years old when i started training at the Mid Michigan Academy. I had a VERY bad attitude and was very cocky and disrespectful to my parents. Within a month of training here that turned around completely. On top of the top-notch self-defense based training I have received in my 6 or so years at the school I have also gained a lot from the incredible personal development training offered. I have learned a tremendous amount of respect patience and most importantly perseverance. One of the biggest things I have accomplished in my life is my eagle scout rank in BSA and without the follow through and stick to it attitude taught to me by the instructors at the dojo I would never have been able to achieve even close to that. The benefits of training certainly do not stop there though. The stress relief that you get from being in class and hitting the pads is amazing especially for a college student around finals time. It is really great after spending a full day sitting in lectures to more

Ive been training at this school now for 6 years, and absolutely love it. the positive environment and energy as soon as you walk in the door is contagious and you cant help but smile. working out there is amazing stress relief, which is great around finals time. and the life skills and problem solving ive learned is something ill be able to carry with me wherever i end up in life more

I enrolled my son about five months ago. People often comment on how polite, well-mannered, and focused he is since he has been training. This program teaches valuable life skills that reinforce what I teach him at home. He is also learning practical self-defense. I would highly recommend the Mid Michigan Academy of Martial Arts to parents who want their child to become more confident, focused, positive, and well-mannered. more

This school is the WORST example of a martial arts school I have ever seen. You're forced to sign binding contracts. The fees for instruction and equipment are overpriced. Instruction is two short classes per week. I found the head instructor to be obnoxious. The are many, many better schools in the area. Pros: convenient parking Cons: Enslaving contracts, short classes, money hungry more
