American School of Martial Arts concentrates our collective efforts on these subjects:

1. Character development for children through our kids karate program. Your children will learn Blended Kenpo, which is a mix of Thai Boxing, Boxing, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Mixed Martial Arts and Kenpo. Along with awesome self defense, they will learn how to become leaders, to speak in public, to set goals, self discipline, honor and integrity.

How We Stack Up in Affordability With Other Children's Activities

2. Teaching adults self defense. You can choose what you want to learn. Our Thai Boxing, Boxing, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Mixed Martial Arts and Kenpo are top notch. In the process of learning to defend yourself and to protect your family, you will lose weight, tone up your current muscles, as well as develop new muscles! We have a full weight facility where you can train Royce Gracie's patented program called SUPERFIT for FREE when you become a regular member! Some gyms charge extra to get you in shape, not us. We will get you into the best shape of your life at no extra cost!

3. We train Mixed Martial Arts competitors. While 90% of our members will never compete, they enjoy the same training and workouts as our fighters do. We have a giant 5 rope ring, a nice sized MMA cage, a full weight room, plus over 3000 square feet of mat space, heavy bags, speed bag and cardio equipment. Every instructor has fought professionally.

Key Differences Between ASMA and Strip Mall Karate

Self Defense in a Recession

Some recent testimonials from our parents:

"Our sincerest Thank-You!
We started bringing our son to the American School of Martial Arts this past spring when we were at the end of our rope. He was diagnosed with ADHD and starting to get behind in school because he couldn't focus. Every day was gut wrenching for us as we were told of how he was distracting other students and not paying attention himself. Three times a week we get him to karate and he started having good days instead of all bad days at school after just one week. We've been bringing him for 6 months now and see a different boy. He still has the occasional off day but has overcome many of the problems that were keeping him from getting through the day. He listens and can redirect if called out on behavior. He can now work with his peers and participate in group activities. He can focus even on something he doesn't want to do. The greatest part of it, we still have our loving and caring child, we didn't need to medicate him to get the results. At ASMA he is learning to stick with something, not give up, be accountable, focus, not let little things annoy him. The best part is he just started back at school. He has the same teachers because his whole class looped to the next grade. His teachers can't believe the difference in him. He has been on task and attentive, participating and working well with other students. He's not perfect and we will still have off moments but by bringing him to ASMA, we are making a commitment to our son to help him be the best he can be."

"My 5 year old son got kicked out of daycare for behavior issues he was having there. He was fighting, biting, kicking and hitting other kids and teachers. Sometimes he would throw things around the room or at people. His behavior was similar at preschool. He started classes at ASMA six months ago. He is pretty much a new kid. Working with the instructor to pursue short term goals for my son has been a success. Eric has a natural ability to teach. He uses his experience, patience and discipline to keep his students moving forward. At my sons first kindergarten conference there were no negative reports. His teachers are very impressed with his improvement since preschool."

-Angel Koempel
Burnsville, MN

"Our family joined ASMA about four months ago after being 2nd degree black belts at another martial arts school. It was an extremely difficult decision to start over, but it couldn't have been a better move for our family. The emphasis on exercise, physical fitness, proper nutrition and doing what is right are awesome and our families habits have changed considerably and we are getting in better shape, we feel great and are learning some very practical martial arts and self defense. As a family with two daughters, we feel more at ease that they will be able to defend themselves if necessary. Our daughters testing for their first belt at ASMA was more difficult than any of their previous black belt tests, so when the test was over, they were very proud of themselves and we are very proud to be a part of ASMA."

Here's what our clients are saying:

"I have trained off and on in Okinawan karate for 30 years. I have had some great instructors and have been associated with some very successful schools. American School of Martial Arts beats them all! I originally enrolled my two young sons and myself for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to develop our ground defense but quickly discovered Eric's striking classes to be revolutionary as compared to our traditional karate training. The weight room, training equipment, kids play room and spacious mat area add to the tremendous value you receive as a member of the gym. Parents, please consider mixed martial arts for your children's protection because karate is not enough."
-Bryce, Brent and Tyler Jones
Prior Lake

..."Due to school budget cuts, our 3 energetic boys, ages 7,8, & 11 only get two out of every ten days of gym at school. We feel that exercise is very important in a young boy's daily routine. Our children can attend ASMA 6 days a week and get a great workout..."
-Joe and Leslie Letson
Savage

"As a police officer and someone with a background in the Martial Arts, the training at American School of Martial Arts is fantastic! Not only are you learning valuable self defense skills, you also receive a tremendous workout! The training is perfect for a beginner or someone who wants to expand their knowledge of fighting."
- Dan Michener, 1st Degree Black Belt in Sansei Ryu Jiu-Jitsu

"ASMA is a great place to train. Eric and the other students train for real life scenarios. They push you to your limits, even when you don't have the energy to do it yourself! It's a great workout that keeps you in shape and alert!"
-Megan Michalek - MN State Trooper
