About AKA

Master Mark W. Clark
Our History and Philosophy
In the Spring 1993, American Karate Academy opened its doors with three members who shared the most sincere commitment to a single vision:
"Everyone has the right to learn how to protect himself or herself and become a better person."
While our school has grown, we maintain our family atmosphere and adhere to our original commitment, serving the whole student at all ages and ability levels.
We are a self defense school. Our approach uses martial discipline to develop students into leaders who can manage the daily stress in life and respond appropriately.
We teach classes in English to help simplify the complicated language of the Martial Arts and reduce confusion for the younger belts.
We offer one week of Free Classes so you can see if the school works for you. We pride ourselves with No Contracts and Low Rates for our students allowing members to focus more on their Martial Arts training. Unlimited Classes allows you to achieve your goals at your individual pace.
We hope to share and grow with you through the experiences of our American Karate Academy family.
