Over the past nine years I have tried several schools to find a martial art and an instructor that I wanted to invest my time training with. After looking and talking to a few schools I decided to come and watch a class at Ambra Karate Academy. After entering and watching the intensity the higher ranks were training I thought "OK, this is a plus because most schools that I have seen were too compliant with each other with the higher ranks". Shortly Mr. Ambra came over I got to have a nice lengthy conversation with Mr. Ambra explaining what I am looking to get out of training. During our conversation several students came up and invited me to train right then. "Again, there is another plus having all these students encouraging me to start training with them". I liked everything I heard and seen at the school I decided to give it a shot. I can't explain how comfortable I felt after my first few classes. The students and Mr. Ambra took the time to show me things I was doing wrong and helped push me when I needed it. My wife and I decided to bring my oldest son in to try a class and after my wife watched the adult class, she decided she wanted to try. She wouldn't try any of the other times I tried getting her to train with me at other schools. Now she even tries to show me up. We have even recently had our other son start classes. I don't feel like a student at a school. I feel like I am part of family that I hope will last a lifetime! The ONE regret I have is I did not come to Ambra Karate Academy first. If you are taking the time to read this and don't believe my feelings , don't have the same regret that I have. Come and see the Ambra Karate Academy for yourself. read more

Ambra Karate Academy is such a great school for parents and children. I have been coming to this school for 8 or 9 years and I have had the best experience ever. This school is amazing, to the instructors we have and the students we have, and the parents that help support the school. Without all of this hard work for the school and the students. Ambra Karate has the ability to teach us the education of martial arts with just the right amount of disipline and fun. Ambra Karate Academy also has such a great atmosphere for children and adults. No wonder why we have such a great karate family and bond here at this school. I remember when I came here for the first time I already made so many new friends, and other children think the same thing. Once you find people that like the same thing as you you start to build a friendship with them. Most of all I would like to thank Master Ambra for opening this school and making it the funnest school and the best experience ever. In my opinion if you go anywhere else you will not find all of these things I said above at any other school. If you do go to Ambra Karate Academy you will find all of these things and you will find reasonable pricing to. Give this school a try, trust me once you come to this school and try a class or your child tries a class you will want to keep coming back. Give them a try, you will have a great experience and a great time!!!!! read more

I started Ambra Karate Academy a few years ago..I originally called a few places looking for a school to learn self defense. I can still remember speaking with Mr. Ambra on the phone before my first class, I told him that I wanted self defense and was not interested in karate..he was so veryyyy nice on the phone and very informative so me and my daughter gave it a try and from our first class was hooked! ( to even karate!!! ) This school is so much more then just a martial arts school besides gaining knowledge and practice of martial arts, disipline, strength, confidence, becoming very fit, is always fun leaving you wanting more besides this the friendships that are obtained are of a family. This school has become my home away from home. This school has so very much to offer and his prices are reasonable especially compared to other schools. Mr. Ambra is a total "people person" and in which any age would feel comfortable and excell I have been away from class for a bit due to injuries obtained from a car accident but am looking forward to coming back "home" very sooooon! I encourage anyone looking for fitness, self-defense, martial arts, discipline, that also likes to have fun to try Ambra Karate Academy, you will ask yourself why you havn't sooner :)) read more

Best Karate school in the business! This school has so much to offer! Best part is I burn on average close to or above 1000 calories a class. I've been training at the school for almost two years now and grow more and more in love with it every time I'm there. Once you are there, there is no going back. Everyone at the school, the instructor, Master Ambra and students alike, are the most warm and welcoming individuals I've met in my life. Everyone is very supportive and there are no judgments made. The instruction given by Master Ambra and his staff is superb! My confindence level is at it's peak because of this school. I've learned so much in the time I've been training there. There is so much diversity with Martial Arts, self-defense, kickboxing, boxing and so much more. I recommend this place to everyone I come in contact with, it doesn't matter how old or young you are. I'm amazed at what I can now do because of the training at this school and am so excited to learn so much more! I wouldn't recommend any other place. Great Instructor, great students, great atmosphere! I couldn't say one bad thing about this place! read more

I've trained with many martial arts schools, and I have to say Ambra Karate Academy is the best I've ever attended. Mr. Ambra is a dedicated and highly skilled martial artist who teaches practical techniques that WORK. He has roots in traditional Tang Soo Do Korean martial arts, but he is unafraid to incorporate techniques from any other style or tradition that he thinks will enhance the effectiveness of his students. Adults and children are treated with respect and dignity in an encouraging and empowering atmosphere. Mr. Ambra challenges you to do things you thought were impossible, but gives you the tools to achieve them. And if that weren't enough, his monthly rates are the best I've seen in the area. All are welcome in class...stop by and see for yourself! read more

We enrolled our son at Ambra Karate Academy over six years ago because he was very shy and had little confidence. After being in Master Ambra's class for a short time, we noticed a major increase in his confidence and physical fitness. Although our son was less coordinated than his classmates, Master Ambra always helped him grow at his own pace and pushed him to try new things when he was unsure of himself. Our son is a completely different child now and we have Ambra Karate Academy to thank.Our daughter joined over four years ago and never wants to miss a class. She loves the staff and she has confidence to spare! We like the clean atmosphere, nice families and outstanding staff at Ambra Karate Academy. We highly recommend it to all! read more

My husband and I have been part of the Ambra Karate Academy for 15 yrs and LOVE it. We took karate during high school and college and have seen how other schools operate so we appreciate how Mr. Ambra leads his school. It is a family friendly environment that teaches mixed martial arts, self defense, strength training and of course lots of cardio. It is fantastic exercise where the traditional techniques are fundamental and he mixes it with fun exercises/activities to build ability. Mr. Ambra is a very supportive instructor and the school's performance is evidence. No other school is like Ambra's and you should experience it, regardless of experience, ability or other perceived hurdles. read more

If I had to describe Ambra Karate Academy in one word i couldn't! The reason is there are so many things I could say about it I have been going to this school for 15 years and i can tell you no atmosphere is better to learn martial arts, self defense, and just get in a great work out. The people are amazing the instructor Mr. Ambra is a die hard he cares about your progress and does all in his power to make you look and perform up to and beyond your expectations. Its like being part of a large family and Ambra Karate is the only martial arts school i would recommend any one going. read more

I visited at least a dozen martial arts schools before settling on Ambra Karate Academy. Coming in at 50 years old I was quite apprehensive to say the least. My apprehension was put to rest immediately. Everyone from Mr. Ambra to the assistant instructors to the other students were welcoming and extemely helpful. After 2 short months I feel that I have gained a great deal of confidence and found that I am physically capable of more than I thought. My only regret is not coming to Ambra Karate Academy sooner. read more

I have been training here for over 10 years. The family atmosphere continues to draw many people in. Repeatedly I have seen parents get kids started only to later decide to also take class because of the excellent instruction and the feeling of family. This is the place if you want to immerse yourself in martial arts. Over the years I continually surprise myself by the abilities I have been taught and the challenges I have been able to arise to because of my experiences at this school. read more

I started attending this school after visiting 4 others during my choosing process a month ago. This is an excellent school, with great people and an even better teacher. The price is definitely the best around which is a huge plus. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now. I feel great, and I am making huge progresses in getting back in shape after years of being a "couch potato". I challenge all who read my review to step in and try it out. read more

I'm extremely happy with Ambra Karate. We have been going for about 10 years now. I have 3 children and they all love it. Mr. Ambra has the ability to infuse just the right amount of discipline and fun. Not only do they get a great martial arts education, but, they have the greater honor of becoming part of the Ambra Family. Something, in my opinion, you just can't get anywhere else around. Give them a try, you will have a great experience! read more

I highly recommend Ambra Karate and Mr. Ambra. I enrolled my child 3 years ago after moving to this state.

Ambra Karate is a true hidden gem! read more

After calling around and visiting a few other places in the area, I decided that Ambra Karate was the best place for my son. My son has ADHD and sometimes it is hard to stay on task, Mr. Ambra and his assistance never give up on him. Everyone is very friendly and helpful the facility is very clean and welcoming. read more
