At AMAA Learning Center, afternoons come with school pickup, homework help, daily Taekwondo and real structure, all in one place.
A real Taekwondo class is part of every afternoon, included in the program. Kids build focus, confidence and fitness before they ever get home.
We pick up from Vista, Hollow Hills, Madera, Hillside Middle, Valley View Middle and more. Ask about your school.
Students get dedicated homework time with staff nearby to help them stay on track, plus a snack to refuel.
Many after-school programs stop around 6th grade. We keep middle and high schoolers busy too, right when it matters most.
All AMAA staff are fingerprinted through Live Scan, and we keep fewer than 10 students per staff member, so every child gets more attention. We can also send you photos from the day.
Serving Simi Valley since 1998, AMAA teaches more than kicks. As Master Derrick Kwak says, “The greatest power in life is discipline.”
Every afternoon
All in a safe, fun, orderly and respectful environment.

Master Derrick Kwak and his wife, Miss Konnie, opened American Martial Arts Academy in September 1998 at 2315 Kuehner Drive in Simi Valley. Before AMAA, Master Kwak worked with kids in community youth programs and believed an after-school program could do more: care for each child and help every one of them grow.
Early summer programs added daily study, martial arts and optional Friday field trips to places like the Los Angeles Zoo.
AMAA opens at 2315 Kuehner Drive in Simi Valley.
Junior Olympic National Champions.
Opened a second studio in Madera.
Moved into a bigger home in Simi Valley.
Today AMAA is at 15 McCoy Place, and that belief still guides our Learning Center every afternoon.
