Lovely to hear, thank you for sharing :)
Fantastic experience: My 5 and 8 year old kids wanted to join, so I took up the opportunity to learn to. We do the open class, where we warm up together but then split off based on age. I love being able to see my kids in their lessons but also do my own training at the same time - way better than just sitting to watch them!
So glad to hear this, thank you for sharing!

Negative experience: I am writing this from my dad's phone. I went to this place 3 years ago, it did not seem at all practical. You didn't spar till you were a black belt. Sparring is crucial learning martial arts with out sparring is like playing cricket with out hitting the ball. Also you just got a tip for being there so no matter how bad you are you can still advance. Also the fitness regiment was not scrict enough. Thanks and I say this with respect.
Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience. However, I would like to clarify that we do include sparring in our class programs at all levels (including beginner students) for students 8 years and above. Regarding our belt progression, students certainly do not achieve belts based solely on attendance. We do track attendance with black stripes for each class, but only provide coloured stripes ('tips' or 'level tests') after tests are completed with an instructor in class, they are certainly not just given out regardless of effort or ability. I also understand your experience was 3 years ago, we have made many changes to our class programs since this time, including very active fitness components. Respectfully, I would encourage you to remove this review as it is not an accurate representation of KMAA's current classes, programs, or tip testing procedures.
Fantastic experience: Our son has been at KMAA for 2 years now and loves it. The instructors are fantastic with the students and the classes always look like great fun. The kids are taught discipline, self defence and fitness. The training is a great way for kids to build confidence and learn about how to defend themselves should they need it.
We appreciate your feedback Janine! Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic experience: It’s a really nice place to start Martial Arts basics. I have to thank Abbey. She is an administration officer there. She is very friendly and professional and She knows how to talk with a customer.
Thank you for your review Vusal!

Fantastic experience: My son is thriving in this amazing academy. The environment is so friendly and inspiring that I’m thinking about learning taekwondo myself.

Fantastic experience: My kids love their classes, they have 7 and 4 y/o and I love that they have fun while spending some energy!
Fantastic to hear, thank you!
Fantastic experience: My son has been coming since he was four and now he is 8 years old and a disciplined dedicated Dragon belt. My three year old and I have also followed suit and started a family class and KMAA installs not only discipline but a great sense of community.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate it!

Fantastic experience: We have been at KMAA now for approx 2-3 years now, recommended by several friends. We highly recommend the safe, professional, and family friendly environment. All of the staff show great enthusiasm and respect for all students, and the learnings and discipline is great for children of all ages (personal experience with our children aged 5-9). Well done to all the KMAA staff for producing a fun and family friendly environment for all.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Fantastic experience: My children have started with KMAA sine they were 4 years old. The instructors are very supportive and encouraging, they reinforce discipline and taekwondo skills from a young age. Highly recommended!
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to KMAA for years now, and I've made loads of friendships. It has a great sense of community, and the instructors are very friendly!
Thank you for sharing! ☺️
Negative experience: In 2016, I raised a concern about the dangerous way the kids were doing somersaults, balancing all their weight on their necks before crumpling over. One student was visibly in pain as a result. It was harrowing to watch. Even after multiple times contacting the school about the incident they would not reply. Just a simple acknowledgement of the issue would have been ample.. instead due to this issue and some others we left this McDojo.
Hi Rob, Thank you for your review. The safety of our staff and students is KMAA's first priority in everything we do, and we take this very seriously. I note that your experience occurred in January 2016, over four years ago, but your review has been posted this week. KMAA is not only under new management, with new instructors since this time, but our programs have been continuously improved over the years too. We no longer teach 'cat rolling' or somersaults for young children, which from our notes your concerns refer to. We thank you for your concern for student safety, and would like to reassure you and new members that our Instructors and programs focus on safety as the highest priority. We value feedback from parents, and have been very proactive in the last year to seek out parent feedback and incorporate suggestions into our programs. Thanks, KMAA Team.
Fantastic experience: If you do it once you'll do it again hahaha
Fantastic experience: KMAA is an amazing academy. I've visited a few martial arts venues and KMAA provided the best facilities and instructors in my opinion. My children joined classes at the start then I joined as well. The family classes are perfect for us all to train at the same time but in different specifically tailored classes. I'm so proud of the skills we have learned. My fitness has improved, I feel stronger and fitter than I have in years and this is all thanks to the team at KMAA, thank you. From Deb, Daniel & Ben
Fantastic experience: My brothers and I have been attending KMAA classes from a very young age, and we have enjoyed every second. Each class is divided up into separate age groups so that every student will always have an opportunity to create new friendships. During these fun and engaging classes, an important life skill of self-defence is learnt in a fun manner.
Fantastic experience: Has a great environment and caters for all
Fantastic experience: I have been at KMAA for nearly 8 years and have loved every second of it. KMAA has helped with my confidence, co-ordination, focus, leadership and respect and is a constant source of joy. KMAA is a family friendly, student oriented community that has always supported me and my family when we have needed it. Sir and the rest of the instructors are like a second family who have an intense, admirable passion for their jobs and providing the best service to the students and their families as possible.
Fantastic experience: My kids have been coming to KMAA for several years now. KMAA provide a fabulous, supportive, family friendly environment. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone of any age.
Fantastic experience: Great place to train. A safe and family friendly environment.
Fantastic experience: A very good learning environment for adults and kids of all ages. Definitely worth giving it a go.
Negative experience: This man is a fraud and does not have permission to use the KMA brand.
Hi Kirsty, From our records you are not- nor have you been a student at KMAA in Canberra, so we are disappointed by your one star review. In regards to your concern, our business is registered and has an ABN- all with no issues concerning the name 'Korean Martial Arts Academy'. There are other martial arts schools interstate and around the world with this or similar names, but this does not mean we cannot use this name. We would appreciate if you withdrew this review as it is incorrect. Thanks, KMAA Team.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and personal for students of all ages. Highly recommended for anyone.
Fantastic experience: Welcoming and friendly atmosphere! Excellent facility which caters for both children and adults.
Fantastic experience: I love it here! It's a home away from home! Very welcoming and awesome instructors! ;)
Fantastic experience: Best instructors!! :P
