This review is long overdue, as I began my journey at Alpha more than ten years ago, and it has been nothing but positive ever since! Alpha Martial Arts and the people there have transformed my life. This is a fun, supportive and welcoming environment where both kids and adults can not only get lots of exercise and develop physical skills, but also grow mentally and emotionally as well. All past and current instructors at the dojo have been fantastic role models, and I really believe the owner, Mr. Herrman, has had a marked positive impact on the wider Bryant/Ravenna community. I’m so glad that when I was younger my parents decided to sign me up for karate classes here. If you, your kid, or someone you know is interested in learning martial arts and growing your confidence through physical activity, do yourself a favor and check out Alpha Martial Arts!
I’ve been training in Kenpo for 24 years and have been at AMA for the last 10 years of that journey and I can confidently say that there isn’t anywhere I would rather train.

Alpha martial arts is awesome! My kids started classes here eight years ago, when they were in elementary school, on a whim because their cousins were doing karate and it looked fun. Looking back, this was one of the best life decisions we/they made in taking classes here. The instructors are top notch; attentive and patient. The kids have learned so many life skills, such as confidence, patience, determination, gratefulness, besides just self defense and karate. They've thrived and been successful, both earning their black belts and continuing to stay involved and continue their black belt journeys here. If you're still reading this review, thank you. I absolutely can't say enough great things about this place or recommend it highly enough.
AMA is fantastic! My daughter has been doing karate there for more than 4 years. She started in person before the pandemic, took online classes when AMA pivoted to online, has been back in person for months and is preparing to take her junior black belt test this month. The instructors are great and Mr Herrman is very responsive. I love that they teach karate and how to be an all-round good human. AMA gave my daughter a reliable activity and reliable role models during the pandemic, when not much else was reliable. I can’t say enough good things about AMA.
