Welcome to the American Martial Arts Institute. We are glad you are taking the time to get to know us. One of the first benefits of joining the AMAI is the great network of people and instructors whose true desire is to help you succeed. Another awesome benefit is the very practical and creative Taekwondo curriculum.

The curriculum was developed by Master Kevin Mathis – 6th degree black belt. All forms, including appropriate weapons forms, contain interactive partner drills so that the student can learn exactly the proper application of every technique and when best to use them. The board breaks and self-defense for each form come directly from the forms themselves. All of your time spent teaching will be directly related to the proper technique for form as well as how to apply those techniques in self-defense, sparring and board breaking. You will be amazed at how this unparalleled training system produces highly skilled martial arts students in your school.

AMAI Leadership Program and Class Planners:

AMAI also provides an effective and challenging Leadership Program that will help any student interested in becoming an instructor progress up the ladder. Whether you want better leaders in your school or to open additional AMAI schools, the AMAI program will help you train your students to be successful.

The AMAI Leadership Program was developed by Master Amanda Olson – 6th degree black belt. Its purpose is to equip the school owner and head instructors with a quality program to teach leadership in their local school. The easy to follow class planners will make your classes run smoothly and teach those in your classes everything they will need to know in order to progress through different leadership and instructor levels. When your students attend a leadership/instructor seminar they will be prepared!

The AMAI Jr. Leader Program was written by Master Kevin Mathis. This program takes your Jr. Leaders on a journey that teaches respect, teamwork, perseverance, many other great character qualities, as well as advanced weapons and community service.
