American Defensive Arts Academy Google five star review - John Krebs

John Krebs

My 2 daughters have been karate students at ADAA for many years since they were both very small. Both have learned great lessons in discipline, exercise, hard work and how to defend themselves. Their training has also boosted their confidence and their will to keep pressing forward. The trainers and leaders do an excellent job with their students, and they encouraged and inspired me to begin training in Aikido over 3 years ago. Overall experience- Excellent and I highly recommend anyone to join any of the numerous classes offered.

I've studied Aikido at this school for about 3 years after moving to the area. I also study at another school in Dallas, and studied in Arkansas for about 12 years prior to moving. I find the instruction excellent. And, the attitude and interaction of both the teachers and students is second to none. Watching the kids class, I'm constantly impressed at how well Martinez Sensei works with the kids. Highly recommend.
