Welcome to Dave Moss' Action Martial Arts
At AMA, we've created a karate school unlike any other school you've ever seen.  Everything about AMA - the school philosophy, the facility, and the curriculum - is designed to provide a positive learning environment for your children to build confidence, achieve amazing results, and more than anything else - have a lot of fun.  Take a look at this site to get a taste of the AMA experience - or better yet stop by and see it for yourself!

Our Philosophy
First and foremost, learning karate should be fun.   Children are like anybody else in that they respond positively to things that they enjoy.  With this in mind, we design our classes to keep children engaged and make sure that they always have fun while they're learning. 

We also believe that learning karate should convey a sense of achievement.  Students at AMA are taught basic and advanced skills by world champion competitors, ensuring that students have an exceptional opportunity to develop.

 AMA's unique membership program also allows instructors to focus on teaching existing students, instead of on bringing in new students - again providing for a better learning environment.   The proof is in the results:  AMA instructors have helped train and coach students to 30 world championships.

Our Facility
When we built our facility in Ashburn, VA, our motto was "Safety First".  At AMA, we believe that our unmatched facility allows students to learn advanced martial arts and gymnastics techniques in absolute safety.  Unique features of the facility include:

  • Spring Floor.  Unlike most karate schools (which put carpet directly on concrete), AMA has an advanced spring floor consisting of carpeted plywood resting on joists which are floated on a springy foam layer above a concrete floor.  That sounds complicated, but as soon as you walk on the floor you'll know that your children can jump and kick with no worries at AMA.
  • Trampoline.  Whether you want to learn a back flip or the proper technique for jumping kicks - you'll find it much easier on the trampoline.  We incorporate time on the trampoline into just about every class.  Of course the trampoline is padded and includes safety netting to make sure students are safe.  When we learn gymnastics moves (such as flips or handsprings), students are always spotted by qualified instructors.
  • Gymnastics Equipment.  As anyone who's seen a martial arts movie knows, modern martial arts includes a fair amount of gymnastics.  The AMA facility includes a crash mat and other protective equipment so that we can teach students basic and advanced tumbling techniques as part of the martial arts curriculum.  In the past, students looking to compete in martial arts would have to take lessons at both a karate school and a gymnastics school.  At AMA, you have the best of both worlds!

Our Curriculum
AMA instructors teach students American Style Tae kwon do - which is a Korean martial art taught in a modern, western teaching style.  Taekwondo is a dynamic martial art that emphasizes punches and high / jumping kicks.  Students are also taught self defense techniques which incorporate several other martial arts styles including Shotokan, and Aikido.  Advanced students also learn weapons techniques.
