Great place if you’re interested in a knowledgeable and friendly gym. Very family-oriented as well. Highly recommend checking AKT out if you’re interested in martial arts in or surround the Olean-area.
My grandson loves his classes at AKT!
I have been here 3 times already this year and I am loving it. I am 15. I have been learning a lot. Sensei Desmond White and Sensei Violet are great people. I recommend AKT for your child/children Parents. They will love it.
I've been taking classes for 4 months! This academy is a game changer!
I have been going to AKT for almost 2 and a half years, and I absolutely love it! The first time I showed up I was so nervous, I would hardly do anything, but everyone was so nice and friendly, that I got comfortable very quickly. I would not give up what I have with all the people there for the world. Everyone is family there! The training that is provided is the best! I was so timid and not confident at all, within a month I was so different (in a great way)! I started going there to learn self-defense for college, I can definitely say I'm confident to go to college now! I love it!
I can not say enough good things about AKT Combative and ALL of their instructors! This is an amazing family oriented environment where you and your kids can go to learn self-defense, self discipline/motivation. To better yourself all around. Both of my girls LOVE this class and have went from shy, trusting little girls, to confident, capable and alert little ladies :) I can't Thank AKT enough!
This is a great place to bring your children to help build confidence, discipline and gain real world self-defense skills they can use throughout life. I would HIGHLY recommend the excellent instructors and family friendly atmosphere at AKT Combatives Academy.
I started training in Martial Arts 36 years ago studing several systems. AKT Combatives has taken my skill set and mind set to whole new level. I added to my stand-up striking skills grappling ground fighting throws, takedowns and weapons defense. The reality based personal protection taught at AKT Combatives Academy easily sets itself apart from what you get from traditional martial arts. Students become an intellectual martial artist with the utmost focus on ethics, respect and responsibility, not just punchers and kickers. And by the way, we produce Jujitsu World Champions. We have So much fun.
My daughter participates in the kid class. I can not say enough wonderful things about the teachers, program and philosophy of AKT. The teachers are aware of each child's needs and personality. This program provides discipline and focus. Hard work is expected at an appropriate kid level. AKT is helping me raise a hard working, committed and respectful child. Thank you for all you do...I am seeing confidence and thoughtfulness in my kid in school too!
Such an amazing place to train. It truly changes lives for the better!
Charlie and the staff are some of the most knowledgeable and professional people i have ever worked with I would highly recommend them to anyone
Barry has been in this business for a long time. He know his stuff. Great school , great people!
My son started going 2 months ago, I was afraid he would not stick with the program but we have not missed one practice yet because my son LOVES going!
I can not recommend this place. I've had my children going for several weeks and have come to the conclusion that it's not for kids. It's basically a glorified gymnastics class. There's just not enough teachers for more refined instructions. Way to many children in a class. 3 months of watching my child do crab walks and front rolls was enough to say the instructors need better training.... **** Another thing of concern is I witnessed instructor Charlie waiving a 9 mm hand gun around while there was a room full of children. I questioned him and was told he was trying to sell it and in fact, there was some strange man there handling the gun as well. A truly disappointing and uncomfortable situation. **** I do not recommend this class for your children.
