What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Tiffany Vandecar
"My son has been attending here for 2+ years and loves it. They truly are a caring family helping the youth in the neighborhood learn martial arts and self confidence."
Sahmi Fazzio
"Amba Martial Arts is a gem hidden in the north valleys. We choose Amba because it was close and affordable. One of the only year round sports in the North Valleys for my then very active 4 year old. What I didn’t know was that we were joining a very well respected Dojo with National and World Champions. I didn’t know that my son would meet some his closest friends and we would find community within the Dojo. Aside from community and friendship, the training at Amba Martial Arts is structured and engaging. They rotate weeks of sparring, self defense and boxing. They also offer other classes like kick box fit for adults and 1:1 training. They train people at all levels and abilities. I’ve seen them work with kids who have disabilities and behavior problems helping to give parents a break and reinforce discipline. Because of Amba Martial Arts I know that my son has not only the skills to defend himself but to overcome challenges, work hard and preserve through failure."
Karla Cartagena
"We have been with Amba Martial Arts for over 10yrs. Started with my oldest son who is now 22 and my little one who’s 8yrs old. These family pour their heart and soul into the kids, they have helped our family in so many ways such us helping us with discipline and their confidence. They have always treat us like family. If you’re looking for good discipline, and great Karate experience, here’s the place. My kids have travel to different places in the US, completed in Europe last year and have competed in Canada as well. They have also helped us through my oldest teenage years, which if you’re a parent of one, you know is not an easy ride. I know I can count on them when I need to. They have not been the only Martial Arts School we have train in, but will be the last one."
Oscar Rios
"Amba martial arts became our family. One of the best decisions I could of made for my soon when he was 11 up to the age of 18. He dint only learn karate, he learned plenty of other life lessons/skills. I'm proud of what my boy has become, and I'm happy to say that the Amba family had a big part in this."
