Great instructors. My daughter loved going and always left with strong skills. Her instructor brought a solid level of levity to class so the kids felt at ease learning something new.

I have been training here for five years and will test for my black belt this year. I am also one of the instructors. Growth is encouraged and supported in this environment. I have grown as a student, person, and instructor. As an instructor I teach respect, listening, the value of hard work, perseverance, and other life skills. This is a special place where families train together. There are siblings in classes, and parents with their children. Additionally, there are families with three generations training, which is a testament to the instruction here.

Our daughter has been a student with AKKA, and she benefitted tremendously from the experience. We visited other dojos before enrolling at AKKA, and there was a definite difference in this program. We were extremely impressed with the overall "vibe" of the instructors and the instruction, which promotes self-confidence and strength of character. She was always encouraged, supported, and valued as a student and a person. She ultimately earned her junior black belt, which was a very proud moment for her and her parents!

My son started with AKKA Olathe Martial Arts in the spring of 2024. He loves it. The classes are engaging and fun. I love the structure of the program. My son looks forward to going to karate every Monday and Friday.

My son started here last fall and has really been enjoying it. It has been great to see him gain confidence and awareness of his movements.

We first enrolled my son at AKKA Olathe Martial Arts when he was 6 yrs old. He is 15 now and still attends multiple classes every week. Had it not been for all the amazing instructors and the community they have built, I don’t think my son would have kept with it for this long. He has developed so much confidence and leadership skills throughout the years thanks to the dedication of his instructors. We enjoy this school so much that I enrolled myself in kickboxing classes a few years ago and this class has become such an outlet for me. Erin & Donyall are fantastic instructors. Don’t walk, RUN into to Olathe Martial Arts and sign up for a class today, you wont be disappointed.

I am studying Tai Chi at AKKA. It is a soothing relaxing exercise, without stress on the body or mind. The instructor is very patient and does not rush the student to achieve. And yet we have become acquainted with half of the basic movements in a couple of months.

A wonderful oasis of fun, fellowship and healing. When I was in KUMC, one of the first things my newly appointed Neurologist said, was that he wanted me to take Tai Chi! While still an inpatient, I reached out to AKKA and I received a welcoming text back.
I had 10 Physical Therapy visits at and made no measurable progress- so I reached out to AKKA and they helped me with a series of exercises to strengthen my weak Right Leg to correct my drop foot . I know it will take time and I am so very grateful for the assistance of AKKA to help me.
Living your best life, healing and mindfulness compassion, kindness, laughter and fun while exercising is possible. I am blessed to be with ALL the wonderful people and instructors at AKKA! I highly recommend this center of getting fit in body, mind and spirit.

Incredible! Anthony is professional and patient. I appreciate that he explains every step and allows me the flexibility to move and learn at my own pace. The other students have been so kind and welcoming as well. I am thankful that I reached out when I did, and I am looking forward to my future with AKKA, new friends, and Tai Chi.

The instructors are EXCELLENT in creating classes that engage whatever age group they work with at the time. They have classes from littles all the way to adult. Our 8 year old has been attending for a year and a half. He's still very excited about it. Their communication is top notch and their prices are very competitive. I have recommended them to friends and neighbors.

The owners care about each person as an individual. Confidence, growth, and perseverance are the cornerstones of their practice. My family has rarely had such a genuine experience.

I signed my 3 boys up in 2000 because I wanted them to learn self discipline and have more confidence. I joined a month later to share the experience. All 3 of my sons achieved the rank of Black Belt. One started at age 6 and earned 6 Black Belts. One earned the rank of 4th degree Black Belt. They all grew to be better men because of AKKA. They also went through the Boy Scout program. That is the 1- 2 punch of character building. I am still a student, teacher and proud member of this fine organization.

My 11 year old son was being picked on at school. I was looking for a place where he could gain self confidence but yet also balance that learning with self control. I was fortunate to find that with at AKKA Olathe Martial Arts. A year after my son started, my 6 year old daughter started and I didn't want to be left out. During our black belt tests my daughter lagged and struggled during a run. One of our fellow students (another student's father) picked her up on his back and carried her make to the finish as we were all determined to finish together. There's amazing comradery in the classes at AKKA. My children have grown into confident and successful young adults. The discipline and confidence they gained training was a big contributor. My thanks to all our instructors.

The folks at AKKA Karate USA Olathe are top notch. I was greeted with a smile and felt at home right away. My long association with Mr Williams has always been one of encouragement and respect. He will go out of his way to be the kind of man that you can count on in any circumstance. I strongly believe that training at AKKA Karate USA Olathe will be a very profitable experience. Go Today and sign up.

AKKA has been a great addition for our son. Offering learning and discipline at the same time is what we were looking for. The instructors have been phenomenal at handling the kids which are all in the same age group but may have different skill levels allowing the kids to not only focus on improvement for themselves, but helping other kids learn too! Mr. Bradberry, Ms. Green and Mr. Clay have all shown their skills and knowledge of the sport which makes us comfortable and inspired that our child will be progressing at a pace they can handle. We enjoy being a part of the AKKA Karate group!

I have been a part of AKKA OLATHE for at least 6 years and my daughter trained there for about 3 years as well. The Instructors are top notch and truly care about everyone they teach.
I have not been able to train as much lately due to changes with my work schedule, but have honestly loved every minute that I have spent there.
I think this is a great school for anyone of any age to consider. If you want to get in better shape, build confidence or just learn more about self defense and martial arts, you should check them out!

We have been part of the AKKA family for about 1.5 years. My sons initially joined after attending a birthday party and I fell in love with the staff. I can't say enough great things about the staff, they are supportive, fun and passionate about their jobs. Since then, I have joined and was surprised by how much I love it. Being an introvert, I was terrified to try something that put me in the spotlight but Karate has given me the confidence to come out of my shell. AKKA is not just any dojo, it is truly a family.

I don't currently attend but, I've always wanted to come back to my karate family. My father and I started together back in 1999 when I was about 5 years old. I stayed with it till I was about 16 and I thought I had better things to do. I'm now 24, wishing I had never left in the first place. The instructors and the atmosphere that they provide for the students, was above all one of the BEST experiences of my life. It wasn't just a place to go learn karate at. It was a home away from home, another place where I always felt welcomed. If there was an option for more than 5 stars, I would most definitely be trying to put 100 stars.
