Being a member since February 2011, I write as a newbie to the Dojo and to Martial Arts training. In the short time here I cannot begin to explain how much I’ve learned about the art, life in general, and myself as a human being. I think different, react different, and I credit it all to the training of mind and body given to me from this dojo. If you want to grow, be challenged, learn about yourself, this is the right place for you. See you there!

This school provides the best karate training I could imagine - the people are great, the training is detailed and professional. This is a GREAT place to be!!!

I have been a member of York Academy of Martial Arts for almost 6 years and I highly recommend the training provided by this facility. Many , many great things are taught there.

Our son has been there for half a year and I'm a very proud mom of a 5 year-old karate kid. Martial arts gave my son discipline and confidence. Strongly recommend. The place is family friendly, affordable and very organized.

York AMA provide top notch training and will make a positive impact in your life; taking Martial arts instruction at this school will provide you with a ihigh level of knowledge, a hightened awareness, a positive boost of energy that will bring out the best in you and improve how you respond and deal with situations that may occur in your life; as well, Sensei Verlann has much knowledge and is a very thorough and positive instructor. He is an advocate and example of challenging his students positively, working with them and is focused on encouraging his students and offering constructive positive challenges that will help build them to be the best people they can be inside and outside of the dojo. I highly recommend training with Sensei Verlann and this Martial Arts school!

I have been a member of the York Academy of Martial Arts for approximately 8 years and highly recommend this training facility to anyone who is looking to increase their physical potential, mental awareness and overall discipline. A variety of classes are offered by qualified instructors for both adults and children and the results achieved are extremely valuable. Whether it's karate, Tai Chi, Pilates, JuJitsu or simple stretching - call and try a class for yourself and experience the results for yourself.

About 4 years ago I was looking for a sport that my son could benefit from both mentally and physically. After talking to quite a few people they convinced me that York AMA was the place for my son. Upon meeting Sensei and Mrs Ferlaan I knew instantly that this was a family run business that had my son's best interests in mind. Over the years my son learned a lot of discipline and got an amazing work out while learning how to protect himself should the need arise. The price is very affordable and the doors are always open for children to go and work out and be part of a place /community. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone I know. Try it you won't be disappointed.
