Adamson Brothers Jiu Jitsu Academy in Seaside turned out to be the perfect solution. The instructors are great, really seem to enjoy working with kids, and promote good life skills along with the Jiu Jitsu. Our son made some new friends, looked forward to every class, and gained confidence and skills. We will certainly be back next summer!

Seaside, OR is very lucky to have such a great Brazilian Jiu Jitsu club in their midst. If you're…read morelooking into martial arts, specifically jiu jitsu, this is a great place to begin, develop, and get good. We stopped in while on vacation and everyone was extremely welcoming. They covered some great BJJ moves in the advanced class, and a lot of great sparring with a variety of belts in the competition class. I personally liked how they leaned into a well known competition loss from about a decade ago. I remember that occurring when we started our jiu jitsu journey, and love how it created so much growth and development in his game. Looking forward to visiting again. Special thanks to professor Jacoby and coach Nick. Great people.

It's a great place to find community and all the instructors are helpful and kind. I especially love the Tumwater dojang because of the size and you feel like you are cared for. 6th grader: USMAC is a great place and TKD teaches you skills that are important and will help you become more self confident. The instructors are great teachers and they will teach you discipline. 2nd grader: USMAC is very good and teaches me self- confidence and how to defend myself. _____ Our family is so proud to be a part of USMAC. My husband and three children (ages 11,10,6) all train together. It's incredible that it is so family oriented that each class caters to every age. Doing TKD together has brought our family closer together. Since coming to USMAC, over a year and half ago, I have seen an increase in my children's confidence, skills, and flexibility. In addition, this school not only teaches the physical aspects of taekwondo but the culture and values. They instill values by having "Home Rules" of respect and encourage them to become leaders. This is evident by the leadership of every instructor and master. They are absolutely incredible! You can sense their care, great skills, and training. When you enter the dojang, you will be greeted with a positive atmosphere and be part of a family! Highly, highly recommend!
