USA Academy of Martial Arts

We at the USA Academy of Martial Arts have been training students in Ascension Parish since 1986!

We are as passionate as ever about physical fitness, self-defense, and child development through traditional martial arts teaching and values. We are a family-oriented school and offer training in various styles for all age groups and experience levels. In addition to improving physical abilities and discipline, we seek to strengthen one’s spirit and attitude as well. Through their dedication to this goal, students push themselves and realize their own potential, on the mat and in life. Martial arts teaches more than just physical self-defense and advancement from one rank to another is not granted on technical ability alone. Students must also demonstrate discipline, spirit, and respect to earn a promotion. Testing for each new rank depends on a student’s ability, regular class attendance and the instructor’s recommendation.
