Martial Arts in Kansas City

"We had our sons 6th Birthday here and Emily was great. There were 20 rowdy boys, but she kept them engaged and having fun the entire time. I would definitely recommend."

"My three granddaughters and I have been a part of the Aplomb Lenexa dojo for almost 5 years. We have tested together, cheered each other on in tournaments and encouraged each other to push through the tough moments. We are so lucky to be in an environment that encourages personal growth and provides a safe nurturing space to reach and exceed goals. We are physically stronger and confident in our ever growing skills. Sensei Gary is phenomenal."

-Janet M.

"My family away from my own family! Sensei Anthony is a fantastic person to have in your corner and I leave every class in a better mood!!"

-Bailey Y.

"Quality Martial Arts instruction for all ages and skill levels! Since joining, I've found Aplomb Lenexa to be a great place to build fitness and strength while practicing Tai Chi and Shaolin Kempo in a safe challenging environment. The group classes are always different and you get a solid workout, and personalized weekly lessons show how much the Instructors are truly invested in your individual growth in and out of the Dojo."

-Brian K.

"I decided to try a free class two years ago in an effort to get out of the house and learn methods to defend myself. In the beginning, I was frustrated at how uncoordinated, weak, and scared I was. But all the while, I was learning discipline that urged me to keep going. I've challenged my limits and come out a new person. Earning each belt has felt like badge of honor and I have shown myself time and time again that all along I have been so much stronger than I gave myself credit for. Aplomb is my community and I am proud to say that anyone would fit into it. It does not matter your age (we have teens to folks in their 70s), your size, your experience, or your purpose. You are welcome here! Where power meets discipline and fear meets its end."

-Steffney

"My two children have been doing Kempo here since 2018 and they love it! I love the self control and perseverance they have gained. It's a great program and Sensei Emily is wonderful with my kids!"

-Melissa O.

"We've seen such a confidence boost in our son since he's been a member, and he's always excited for each and every class. Fantastic dojo and people!"

-Chad T.

"If you are looking to learn self-defense, combat wrestling, Tai Chi, Kenpo, and weapons, Aplomb Martials is a great place to go. The KC North location is a great facility to attend because Sensei Anthony is a great instructor. He listens to people and develops classes and personal training sessions to fit the need of the students. I have greatly enjoyed working with and continuing my martial arts growth with him."

-Bruce H.

"Great dojo. Sensei Anthony and all other sensei do an amazing job pushing everyone to do their best. Signed up to get back in shape and bond with my kids, staying for all of the above and more."

"Update - I've been going to Liberty AMA, 4 times a week, for almost 7 months now. I am not one to use hyperbole, but this has been life changing. Sensei Daniel - one of the most sincere, caring people I know. He wants you to do well in your martial arts journey and your life journey. He's very supportive but also demanding that you push yourself to your OWN 100%. He CARES about ALL his students. Classmates - my Mon/Wed classmates range from 15 to 60 (me) and every one of them is supportive of each other. "Family" is an often overused term but close to appropriate at AMA. Kempo - the teachings of the techniques are on point. Sensei Daniel demonstrates all movement with clockwork precision and has an incredible way to break down each movement to be digested by even the oldest newbie (me). More than Martial Arts - I joined thinking I would learn movement, strikes, blocks, and it is all that but much more. It's a sweat soaking workout. Calisthenics, strength conditioning, flexibility, aerobic level drills. I have seen a northward migration of stomach flab to arm, shoulder, and chess muscle. Shirts once tight in the belly are now tight in the chest / shoulders. Self discipline / Self accountability - Throughout all of Sensei Daniel's classes are an underlying, but clear as day theme of self discipline and self accountability. You are responsible for your own goals, successes, happiness, and choices. I would highly recommend Liberty AMA / Sensei Daniel to ANYONE (young or old) looking to expand or start their fitness, martial arts, and/or self discovery journey."

-Jim S.

"Sensei Gary has been awesome in helping our family reach goals! We initially just had our oldest son in a class to help with some attention and discipline, eventually it turned into both of us parents and 2 of our 3 kids involved (youngest is just waiting to be big enough). This is a great place with an amazing atmosphere and a fun way to get exercise and build community!"

-Zak L.

"This is the first martial arts school our seven-year-old tried and he loves it. Sensei Emily is great with the kiddos. The classes include martial arts training, but also help kids develop coordination, core strength, and problem solving. We definitely recommend signing up for the free course to see if your kiddo likes it."

-Zach S.

"Enrolled my 10 year old son a little over 6 months ago and have seen consistent improvements in both discipline and ability. The experience was impressive enough that I joined the dojo myself to help attain my fitness goals and learn a new skill. Would recommend Sensei Anthony to/for anyone."

-Shane S.

"Great Dojo. Amazing Sensei. Everyone is very welcoming and there are groups for all ages, it feels like one big family. If you've been thinking about it please stop hesitating and give AMA a try, you won't regret it!"
