Martial Arts Classes in Lenexa

"Aplomb Martial Arts, and especially the Lenexa Dojo, has made a big impact on our family. We started coming because my son wanted to "be a ninja" and was referred to AMA by one of his preschool friends. After watching him gain confidence, self-control, make new friends, and so much more; my husband and I started coming to the adult classes. The workouts provide us with many benefits, like learning martial arts, stress relief, and overall health of mind and body. However, what continues to make the biggest impact on our family is the community. While martial arts is traditionally considered an individual sport; being part of the AMA family makes martial arts feel like being part of a team. There is a great sense of camaraderie and positive energy that is felt immediately when you walk through the doors. We love being part of a community of people working together to encourage and support each other while striving to reach both individual and collective goals. "

"It’s an incredible workout but with a purpose. Every time you step in the dojo you’re building on what you’ve learned. Real applicable life lessons as well as health benefits. I’ve gained a lot of muscle and overall confidence."

-Blake S.

"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.

"Words cannot express the appreciation I have for everything Sensei, the Dojo, and Aplomb has done for my kiddos, both in and out of the dojo. I could probably write/type several pages trying to express it, but I know you have limited time to read 😅 Thank you, truly THANK YOU"

-Devon B.

"Sensei Gary, Thank you for being an awesome instructor. I’ve learned a ton by being around you in a short period of time, your greatness helps everyone else strive for their greatness. I would love to be an instructor, seeing others win and get better is amazing to watch and be apart of. Thank you again!! "

"I joined aplomb martial arts originally for self defense and to get in a good workout. Not only have I gotten both here, but it has also been a huge boost to my mental health. I get to come to a fun and welcoming place, with people who are supportive and share similar goals, and we get to cheer each other on as we all grow and develop. It has been a huge stress relief and the dojo has become my happy place. Best of all, it has helped me so much with my self confidence. Whether I am at work or out with friends or family, since joining the dojo a year ago, everyone comments how much happier and motivated I am since joining aplomb martial arts."

-Sarah R.

"It’s amazing to see and hear about all of the health benefits that our fellow classmates achieve through coming here. Watching everyone become healthier, more confident versions of themselves and growing along beside them has been a great experience!"

-Sydney S.

"As a 71 year old female I have belonged to a few different gyms and tried many types of exercise. Believe me when I say that Aplomb Martial Arts Lenexa is not a workout. It is FUN with a purpose. I was even able to continue training after a knee replacement. Sensei Gary is very patient and always encouraging. He is especially great with the kids. After 4 1/2 years I just received my third degree brown belt and my goal is a black belt by the time I’m 75. Definitely achievable. The tai chi classes are great for developing balance and stability, great for us older individuals, and the Kempo classes really teach self defense and agility. All ages and levels are welcome so don’t be afraid to give it a try. And the friendships I have made are a bonus."

-Emily B.

"I’ve been going to the AMA Lenexa dojo for about 4 years. The dojo is like a second home to me. The instructors are kind and patient. I’ve gained confidence and self-control from being taught here. I've lost weight while exercising and learning martial arts and my body feels phenomenal! All of the hard work to get here leaves me proud of myself and feeling good in life."

-Isabella R.

"I was so impressed with the free introductory class for my two boys (5 & 7 yrs old) that I decided to join as well. Now 6 months later, we are all 3 really enjoying the lessons every week. Sensei Gary is fantastic with the kids, and really good with adults, teaching everything from balance, strength, agility, endurance, and self defense, but most importantly respect and self confidence. Lessons learned can be applied to all aspects of life and I would highly recommend this to anyone young and old."

"It's been an incredible experience training under Sensei Gary at AMA. I've gained much more than I ever expected, including a fun and supportive karate family that challenges and pushes me to be better. I've had the opportunity to learn self-defense, get into better shape, improve my balance/endurance/flexibility, and make lots of great friends here!"

-Olivia A.

"Come and get a great workout and build your self confidence! I love being a part of Aplomb Martial Arts! Everyone is so nice and encouraging. I have been so much happier and healthier since I joined. My confidence has gone way up, and I love that I know some self defense. Sensei Gary is a really fun and very skilled instructor. 10/10 I recommend. Anyone can do martial arts!"

-Sarah R.

"I’ve been taking classes at AMA Lenexa for just over a year. The classes are fun, challenging, and every class is something new. Sensei Gary is a wonderful instructor who builds confidence in every student. I am thrilled with my progress since joining, and l’m looking forward to many more years at AMA."

-John S.

"My daughter, who is on the autism spectrum, has challenges with social skills and cues. She’s been attending here for roughly 5 weeks. Her teacher and social worker have both noticed that her small group social skills have improved! She’s even joined a little breakfast club at the school. Being a part of this dojo has helped improve her confidence. "

-Bonnie S.

"Donovan is really soaking up everything being taught by all of the instructors. We've noticed a change in his personality after attending classes for only a month. He's much calmer when dealing with his emotions and accepts consequences without hesitation. He doesn't dwell too long on frustration anymore. We've seen him self talk and remind himself of the 3 P's, patience, practice, and perseverance. Whenever he feels a task is too hard he gets up and tries again. We are so grateful to the studio and staff for teaching him such important life lessons. Thank you so much. "
