Great place!
Knowledgable and internationally accredited instructor, clean facility, and great location! Training that encourages leadership skills, and self reliance, while also emphasizing teamwork, and being a vital member of a group. Absolutely love this place!
A true gem in Amarillo! Traditional martial arts training in a family oriented atmosphere. The adults class is fantastic with self defense training in addition to traditional karate training with a master. There are all ages, shapes, and sizes so I felt comfortable from the beginning. I recommend this dojo to anyone! We are so fortunate to have this available in our area!
We love this dojo! My eldest talks about it constantly and my little one can’t wait to be old enough to join! He’s great at reading the kids and knowing how to handle each individuals learning and personality type.
My daughter has been studying with Sensei Grey for 6 years now. She has developed poise, strength, and agility, as well as, such respect and courtesy that people often comment upon meeting her about her level of maturity. Sensei teaches with such wisdom and discernment for each student. He sets the bar high and expects much and, in return, receives students and parents who greatly esteem him. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to study here.
Amarillo Martial Arts Center is a great way to exercise and learn karate and self defense.
Excellente great teacher and Sensei
I have known and studied with this instructor for nearly 40 years. There is no one more knowledgeable and passionate about the art as this gentleman. If you are interested in quality instruction, there is no better. Ray Hughes Arizona
Amarillo Martial Arts is a dojo that teaches many of the essential life lessons that help us all to become better as people. Sensei Gray gives students focused and individualized direction in the dojo. Teamwork and participation in class teaches students lessons that can be utilized outside the dojo. Sensei encourages self defense, but not hurting others unless a threat to their person. He teaches children the importance of obedience to parents and teachers and why this is beneficial to them. Sensei explains why there are rules in place in our everyday lives and that it is important to follow the rules. Honesty and telling the truth are taught and expected of the students. While there is a healthy amount of competition, emphasis isn't necessarily on winning (though it is celebrated as an accomplishment). Sensei directs every student to try their best at everything they do, both inside and outside of the dojo. Not only does Sensei teach respect and courtesy, but he practices these traits everyday in class with his students. Sensei is available for lessons outside of class should a student want time to be worked with individually on specific techniques. There are tournaments that students can sign up for and participate in. Approximately twice a month, students practice sparring in class. Sensei makes an effort to know each child, their strengths and weaknesses, and their best learning style. He works with each student and helps them to feel confident and strong. My son has been practicing with Sensei Gray since he was 5, and he has been training more formally in the past year. I cannot recommend this Sensei and his dojo more. We tried other organized sports in the area and were disappointed by coaches only playing those who needed the least coaching. We were relieved to find that Sensei was more concerned with my son as an impressionable child who deserved a teacher who believed in him. We are beyond thankful for the lessons that our son is coming away with and is able to utilize not just in the dojo, but at home and school as well.
