Mid-Michigan Academy of Martial Arts

My son has been training at Mid Michigan Academy for about five months and absolutely loves it. Every time someone meets him, they comment on how polite and well-mannered he is. In addition to improving his manners and focus, the life skills he has learned in class have helped him to understand the good values that I teach him at home. Getting my son involved in training at the Mid Michigan Academy was one of the most important decisions that I have made for him. I would strongly encourage any parent who is trying to raise a confident, well-adjusted child to look into this program.

Training at the Mid-Michigan Academy of Martial Arts has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. After a stressful day, it's great to go in to the dojo and get a great high-energy workout. The instructors always provide positive reinforcement and are very willing to provide extra help to anyone who may be struggling with a technique.
The workouts are always lots of fun because there's always something new to learn and always ways to improve what you have learned.
The Mid-Michigan Academy also focuses a lot on the philosophy of the Martial Arts. Since beginning my training there, I have become much more goal-oriented, and I have developed a very positive attitude. The Challenges of the Martial Arts have also taught me to be persistent, and never give up on my goals.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND the Mid-Michigan Academy of Martial Arts to anyone looking for great Martial Arts training. It will change your life!

I have been training at the Mid Michigan Academy of Martial Arts for 20 years, ever since I was six years old. The teaching I have received from the academy has been life changing. My Confidence has greatly improved, I am more focused, and self disciplined. They say the biggest fear of people today is public speaking. I was once afraid of it too. Thanks to the life skills training I have received, that is one of many fears that no longer effect me. This martial arts school has also taught me to look for the good in others and in the world around me. I am so thankful for everything the instructors have done for me and I know I would not have been the same kind of person without their caring guidance. Thank you Mid Michigan Academy for all you have done and keep up the fantastic work!

I've been training here for a while, and the biggest thing I can say is that it's not just physical. Really, learning to throw a punch can be easy, but what about how to deal with regular life? I've learned not only how to better prepare myself in a self-defense situation, but I've learned how to stay positive and work with others, as well as boost my confidence. You will get a great workout here, but you'll stay for the mental training. Every time I've brought a friend in, they've always complimented on how positive the atmosphere is. You can become a total person at this school.

I started training as a way to become more fit. I have since become so much more. The training has helped me to become more self aware, confident, focused, disciplined, goal-orineted, and positive. The life skills taught at the Mid Michigan Academy of Martial Arts have changed my life. I strongly recommend Mid Michigan Academy of Martial Arts to anyone looking to become a better person.

I have always been an active person. As such I'm always looking for a new type of activity and to be challenged in different ways. My introduction to the Mid Michigan Academy has fulfilled that requirement.



I always enjoy my workouts and leave sweaty yet spiritually refreshed. All of my questions, concerns, and fears have been heard and addressed. In addition, it's been important to study/workout with like-minded people in a safe environment. It has given me an outlet for stress and a new way to look at my life goals and how to get there.



Ultimately your success is a reflection of your attitude. I would recommend this program to anyone.

as they say "you get out what you put into it"...this dojo offers children, adolescents, and adults to incorporate a self-defense based art into their lives.

This journey is life altering if you embrace it. I recommend the Mid Michigan Academy of Martial Arts to all who are looking for self-improvment on a physical and psychological basis.

The self defense classes did wonders for our daughters confidence. She felt a real sense of accomplishment as she mastered new skills. She also got a great workout, met good people, and made some new friends. We were treated with respect and courtesy by all the staff, and have recommended this school to many family members and friends. Definitely worth a visit!
