American Karate Academy offers quality martial arts instruction to children and adults of both genders and all fitness levels.


Our American Karate System is a mixture of methods and ideas from many sources, with our base style being Tae Kwon-Do Chung Do Kwan. We are a down-line from the long standing Allen Steen system that originated in Texas, where our senior instructor Mr. Royce Young had a big impact on our teaching philosophy. We have an open minded approach to incorporating effective and practical self-defense from a variety of sources - not limited to one style or viewpoint. We are constantly evolving while applying a modern real world approach to our self-defense and training methods.


This is a family oriented Martial Art school and we believe that several different emphasis points must come together to make a whole. So, not only are we self-defense experts but, our training curriculum enhances and brings to the forefront all of the mental and physical benefits that top quality martial art programs are known for. Our age specific programs instill valuable life skills to include courtesy, respect, patience and self control. The benefits continue with premier strength, conditioning and flexibility gains. We help you achieve a can do,never give up attitude with increased self esteem and the self discipline to follow through.

We have Fun!
