We have been involved with AKKA Karate in Independence for about one year. We started with a frightened child, and have seen that child develop into a confident, responsible and respectful young woman. I cannot begin to praise this school and ALL of its staff enough. Children, as well as adults, are not only taught karate, but also life lessons. Children even learn to become bullyproof! That is taking the responsibility of teaching to a higher level. We would highly recommend checking this school and the amazing staff out!

AKKA Karate Independence is a very family orientated school offering so much for a potential student. My family’s journey first began with our son switching from a previous karate school, which in our opinion, was not offering our son what he signed up for. When we entered into AKKA Karate Independence, Mr. Burt offered a different approach to learning karate and our son soon thrived within his classes. He recently acquired his green belt and is looking forward to making it through his brown and black belts in the future! Our journey has continued for the past two years and now my husband (holding a purple belt), my daughter (holding an orange belt) our best friend (also holding an orange belt) and I (currently a white belt getting ready for my gold) have thrived at the school. The resources and time that Mr. Burt (Master instructor) and Mr. Peirce (Lead Instructor) have offered have been phenomenal. AKKA Karate Independence offers resources from their website (documents, blogs, newsletters, and much more), the Kempo karate manual, videos for each belt and much more to assist us in our journey. In addition, the times and days offered for working adults and families is flexible enough to offer steady times to attend class and also make up classes when/if needed to maintain our belt testing goals. I have said it before and I will continue to say it, if you choose a karate school in Independence, check AKKA Karate Independence out, you won’t need to look any farther! Finally, the aesthetic appeal from the school provides a calm and relaxing Asian inspired environment, where students are open to practice their Karate or Tai Chi.

my son loves going every nite and they have awesome skills that we use everyday in life!

A great place to learn martial arts, self-confidence and self-respect. The people are friendly. The instructors are personable and helpful. This studio is very family and kid friendly. I'd recommend anyone looking for martial arts training to give the studio a call to get more information.

At AKKA Karate USA - Independence our mission is to create a championship martial arts experience in a family centered environment of dedicated students who are committed to their journey towards excellence.
