Amy Barthet 3 years ago

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!

John Stachurski 3 years ago

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.

Korean Martial Arts Academy
Korean Martial Arts Academy

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.

Janine G 4 years ago

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.

Rob May 5 years ago

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: 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

Lachlan Fisher 7 years ago

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: 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.

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.
