Academy of Martial Arts & Personal Development, Inc.

About the Academy of Martial Arts... Started in 1995, the Academy of Martial Arts & Personal Development has grown to become the area's largest Martial Art & Fitness training center. Set in a positive atmosphere of excitement and fun we have dedicated ourselves to empowering children, teens and adults through family-oriented programs. We strive for higher achievement and personal development through Martial Arts training. Just try one class and you'll see why we have such a successful program with over 200 martial arts students. Hi! I'm Grandmaster Waldron I founded The Academy with one goal in mind: to enable students to reach their maximum potential. I have 40+ years of experience in the martial arts, hold a 7th Dan in Taekwondo, 7th degree in Daehanmoodo, and hold a 6th Degree Black Belt in Hapkido. But, choosing a martial art school is much more than finding an instructor with the highest rank. At The Academy, we focus on developing the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. Through martial arts and physical fitness we help each person grow into the best version of themselves. Each student becomes part of our family and we work with them at their level to help them grow both within the martial arts and outside in their lives. Our instructors have decades of martial arts and teaching experience. We teach engaging and fun classes that'll give you or your child a great workout while learning life-saving skills. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to talk with us!
