Five stars is not adequate to describe just how amazing our experience with Martial Arts Advantage has been. We cannot say enough good things about Chief Master Hammons, his wife Tracy, and all of the wonderful people that make up their outstanding staff. Our daughter will turn 6 this month and has been taking classes since February. In her classes, we have noticed that the instructors engage her in a fun and sometimes silly manner while still demanding that she show respect and discipline. Her character continually improves as a result of their dedication to teach not only the fundamentals of Tae kwon do, but also the character traits she needs to succeed in life. They create a fun-filled environment where she can learn martial arts. We are very pleased with the school and plan on enrolling another of one our daughters this winter. We would recommend Martial Arts Advantage to anyone; even if they aren't considering martial arts. The skills learned and character built are important for all children and can only make them better in anything they decide to pursue. We love our MAA family! read more

I was required to sign a contract that clearly stated there was a 90-day cancellation provision. Now that I've submitted my 90-day notice, they're refusing to honor the very terms they required me to sign. It should not be this difficult to cancel a child's membership. Instead of respecting their own agreement, they're making the process unnecessarily complicated. Families deserve transparency and businesses should honor the contracts they ask customers to sign. This has been an extremely disappointing experience. read more

I love the place. The people are so kind and respectful and friendly, and they are so understanding

This is a safe place for kids of all levels to come and learn new skills. They learn more than just techniques, but they learn to work with others, accept everyone, and learn what it means to be a good citizen. My son loves it here!!!! read more

My wife found this amazing place for our son through her Epic school connection. I have to say this was probably the best thing we could've gotten our son in to do. He is extremely enthusiastic about going to class and it's amazing to see him work at home on what he needs to do to get better and better. The facility is extremely clean and very large which gives plenty of space not like many other places. Both teachers are amazing with children and so helpful and supportive. I would highly recommend going here. You won't be disappointed. read more

See all

Master Hammon and Master P are amazing with the kids just the right amount of fun and the right amount of discipline!!! I'm so grateful to them for what they do and the influence they have. I love that Martial Arts Advantage is about family and that's exactly how we are treated. Thank you for what you all do!!!! read more

**Trial Scam** Such a horrible experience going in for a so called trial. It was nothing but a sales pitch with ridiculous requirements. Mister P basically interviewed me and wanted to know everything about my life. He made me follow the business page, add him to my Facebook, and THEN told me I couldn't even step foot on the mat for the trial without signing up for a membership first. They try to lock you into a contract and control your life. Umm what? How is any of this related to a trial? Next up, the price that they like to hide. It ends up being $200/month for 2 classes per week. No thank you. This is nothing but a shady business ran by sleezy people. read more

Our kiddo has been attending there for several years now, it has been extremely beneficial for him as they teach attitude, respect, discipline, kindness, etc..the instructors are more than professional, they connect with students on a personal level and are fully committed to helping and teaching the students grow. We could not have asked for a better program for family to be apart of. read more

We love how amazing the teacher are and how they loved to help each kid to get better each and everyday.

Great school and staff!! We love the family feel to the school and the staff is so nice and friendly. They are all so helpful

Our daughter has been at Martial Arts Advantage for almost two years. Master H. and Master P. are excellent with kids and not only teach protection skills but also life skills. Our daughter loves Martial Arts Advantage and so do we! read more

I have been driving Plast this place for years without noticing how amazing it is you really have to go inside and meet the people to realize what you've been missing! Love them like family read more

Martial Arts Advantage - Best instructors ever! - Martial Arts Near Me - Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

MAA has been the best fit for our family. Master P and Master Hammons know each student as an individual. They know when to push a student and when to offer more help. I was honestly apprehensive to join because of a bad experience elsewhere. My fears were quickly erased after I talked to my boys following their first class. The love that they also learn life lessons that will follow them the rest of their lives. We couldn't be happier with MAA! read more

We have been going to the school for over a year and half. My daughter is now the highest rank in her class. The best part is how the staff and Masters treat your child. They have your child's interest in mind and wants them to succeed. If you want a program that will teach tour child to have goals, respect for their peers and adults, persistence, listen to adults, and exercise, this is the best investment for your child. Our daughter used to be very shy, but now she's a leader and willing to help others. Marital Arts Advantage is the best thing we have done for our daughter. read more

If you are a Yelp reviewer like me, you're likely to see the review posted here from 3 years ago and disregard the greatness of this place. If you do, then that's great for the rest of us who have found a diamond in the rough. Not only do they teach Martial Arts, they teach life skills and provide opportunities for relationships to grow; not just growing relationships in kids but in parents as well! Their attention to each person whether child or adult is exceptional. Often you might be looking for Martial Arts for your family and you may run across places with a money-focus. At Martial Arts Advantage, they value Martial Arts and Relationships above all else. If you want a great place for you or your children to grow in self-esteem, in relationships or in life, this is it. read more

In January of this year, my then 8-year-old boy was struggling with poor self-esteem after having experienced a series of frustrating academic setbacks during his 3rd-grade year. My child's issues in the classroom spilled over to conflicts on the playground, and as the teasing persisted, he began to have a lot of difficulties getting along with individual peers. I witnessed my boy transition from a happy and curious child to one who was now moody, withdrawn, and frequently disrespectful a majority of the time. I knew I had to get him some kind of help because what we were doing wasn't working. I had heard and read from a variety of sources that martial arts are fantastic for children who have a diagnosis of ADHD. The first time we walked into Martial Arts Advantage (MAA), I remember feeling cautiously optimistic, unsure as to whether or not my son could ever be helped--but I thought, "Hey, it's worth a shot." Yet, by the end of his very first class, I could already tell this program was going to make a positive impact on my son's life. Flash forward six months later, and my now 9-year-old boy has made impressive strides! I can assure you that his work ethic, attitude, and overall respect for adults has radically improved since beginning classes at MAA. Most importantly, to me, my boy's self-esteem and confidence in his abilities have grown tremendously. My child thrives from the praise and encouragement from these amazingly passionate instructors, Master Hammonds and Master P, who consistently give the kids their all each of every time they show up. With each new stripe and belt earned, my child gets the opportunity to experience success through his hard work. This program has done wonders for my son---more so than any therapy, medication, or diet combined! We are incredibly grateful to be a part of the Martial Arts Advantage family. read more

The staff here are amazing. This business definitely makes you feel like family. they help where ever they can and go above and beyond for their students. My son has been attending class for over a year. read more

Not for Newbies It's not a bad place, or run by bad people, but I think a little more thought needs to go in. Everyone was very friendly and the gym was spotless. They even clean in between classes. My biggest problem was starting a class right in the middle of a session. It was my first krav maga/kickboxing class and they knew that and I was thrown in with a class that had been ongoing. My first class we had a 'substitute' who wasn't very good at teaching but my second, the actual instructor was back and he was much better. He actually taught us, rather than just showing. He had a better attitude as well. Still, I feel like I have no foundation. I wasn't taught the basics. Though, I have learned a few moves. The adult classes start pretty late as well. 8 is pushing it. I'm sure the skill level of everyone involved is a factor, but nearly 200 a month is ridiculous. I would continue but I just can't afford that. But hey, do the three classes for 20, get your boxing gloves and take them to your next gym. I know I will. read more

MA Advantage is not only teaching my son the physical techniques of martial arts but is also teaching him to be mentally strong by instilling discipline , responsibility and other good values . A team of dedicated and warm people who made my son's transition to a new place super smooth. Their online classes during the lockdown period has been very useful . My dream for my son is to earn a black belt from the institution which will help him to grow into a beautiful person . read more

I can't say enough about this place. The only reason I am giving them 5 stars is because there isn't an option for 6. The staff is incredible. The program focuses on not only martial arts, but also character and leadership. I had no idea my daughter would stick with it for more than a couple lessons. She tested for her black belt last night and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend! read more

All of the instructors are amazing with both the parents and the children. Through all the world is going through they have been a constant in our lives. From virtual classes, to breathing exercises for the parents, daily challenges and weekly challenges. I love the energy they all have. One of my favorite things about this school is the life lessons Master H teaches the children. I could go on and on, but you should see for yourself. read more

My son has been attending MAA going on four years and is always excited to go to class and just loves all of his instructors! The staff makes you feel very welcome and are always more than happy to address any questions or concerns. This has been an amazing experience and I am so glad we found MAA! read more

Myself, my son and daughter all attend Martial Arts Advantage and all have received our 2nd Degree Black Belt. It is more than just receiving a belt. For my children it was developing social and discipline skills, learning to work with groups and children at different levels. For myself, patience and overcoming anxiety - grace when put in a spot light. We have developed life long friendship and as I always say extended family - "my village". read more

Unprofessional, LOUD sales-pitched intensive environment that feels more like a car lot than a martial arts school. Extremely "salesy." Everthing is an up-sale! We were overwhelmed with sales offers, including a cruize ship! The real prices of the classes are hidden, slowly revealed over time after you first buy a "coupon" that you then learn is actually "downpayment" on membership if you pay on a select deadline. Huh? Just tell me the price please. And you can't even look at a real class schedule on the website unless you sign up. Our son did enjoy the class, but the environment is so off-putting and shady, we wont be returning. Refund, please. read more

We have been taking classes here for several years now. Both my girls have grown into amazing young ladies with the discipline they have learned here. They have students as young as 3 thru grandparents. The schedule is pretty flexible and the kids and parents become an extended family. read more

A great family atmosphere to learn discipline, integrity and self defense. This place is shaping our community and empowering our youth.

Update: I called to see what it would take to get my money back, as we are moving. The owner, Jim Hammons, yelled at me over the phone telling me he'd never give me a dime, said he saw my chickensh*t review, and said some more nasty things and hung up on me! This is a man who 1- calls himself a family oriented business owner, and 2- a man of God. The conversation lasted less than two minutes, and I never raised my voice or cursed or even interrupted. Yet he cussed me out, screamed obscenities, and hung up on me. He screamed "it's not my fault you're moving! I don't care, you get nothing from me!" And that was the last interaction with him. Folks, this man curses and yells at people he's known for twenty years. I treated him respectfully. Truly consider this when you wonder if this is a good place to send your kids. Hypocrisy is not a trait I want my children to learn, and dare you disagree with the man of God Jim Hammons, and you'll see exactly who he becomes. I no longer believe this place to be the wonderful and family oriented place I originally believed. Our son grew tired of going and was ready to take a break, and it took three phone calls to finally get the membership "canceled". I use quotations because they do NOT cancel your membership, they charge you for an additional three months at $135 a month. The owner, who I've known for twenty years, tried to explain to me that it was easiest on his billing company. I told him my kid was six and had decided to take a break, as I'm sure lots of kids do. He responded that he had tons of kids going since they were 3 or 4! So what? What do other children have anything to do with my own? Then he told me that a three month billing cycle was easier on him but we'd still get three mo the credit because, "I won't make you pay for something you don't use". To which I replied, "so give me a refund and stop taking my money when we're no longer going", but he tried to explain his side again with the same words in a different way. If you're reading this and can afford to throw away $400 because your kid may change his mind, then definitely join. Otherwise, until this deceitful billing practice is exposed and stopped, avoid. I was heartbroken to write this because Jim called us "family" and said he'd known us since I was 14 and had my black belt. Trust me, I didn't want to write a negative review. But family doesn't steal $400 from family and call it billing. My son has loved going here. Sure, it can be pricey and of course there's always add on options. Whether it's testing, kids night out, date nights, but to me, what important, is my sons happiness and their dedication to family. They are always polite, friendly, respectful, and excited to see us! They knew our names on day two and treated us wonderfully. My son can't wait for his next Taekwondo practice, and moving up in belts is a huge confidence booster. read more

Highly recommend this place. Camden learns so much from this other than martial arts. If you're looking for something for your child to do, or can't seem to get your child involved with other activities away from home try this. You won't be disappointed. read more
