Great school with wonderful teachers. My daughter has a great time learning and everyone is friendly. There is even an adult class that allowed me to try to see if I liked it and everyone was very patient with me. I am thankful to have my daughter be a part of the Innovative Martial Arts Academy in Wake Forest and know she is benefiting from it in more than one way. It amazes me how fast she is learning and how hard she is trying. They have her trying to develop at her fullest with her mind, body, and spirit. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in martial arts.

We know that when kids first come through our doors, they’re excited about learning how to punch and kick. (Who hasn’t dreamed of being a ninja at some point?) We’ll teach them physical skills, but our training will also help them develop practices they can use for the rest of their lives. Beginner Karate classes, even for children as young as 3-5 can build amazing life skills, build friendships and increase quality of life.
We’ll help our students build mental and social skills, not just physical traits. We surround them with positive role models who will encourage them to practice to get better, keep trying when they’re not doing well, and build them up through a series of accomplishments.
From day one, our students learn:
