I've been in and out of martial arts for over 20 years. All three of my sons are in are taking classes at AKTC in Lincoln park. They have been for three years now.
Initially, I was most impressed with the fact that there are no 12 year old black belts running around. A black belt in this school is well earned, deserved and respected. This is the school that my children will be in until they're 18. (I hope)

I've known the Instructor (Jeremy) since he still had the brand new smell. I know his drive and dedication. Don't be surprised if they are still around in 25 more years.

Originally started training at this facility almost 13 years ago. After a break I decided to come back and I am amazed at their ability to tie all the various training methods and styles to suit the individuals needs. I figured something would have had to have changed...after all, there are tons of other Dojo's closing down...From MMA, Cardio, Real World Self Defense, Traditional karate AKTC has stayed true to themselves and their students by not lowering their standards an ounce. It's no wonder why they have been around so long and generate the best fighters out of Downriver. A friend once asked why I go there, and I could summarize it with a question. Why go anywhere else?

AKTC is the best!
My son is in the kids karate class, we actually put him in karate to help with behavior and self-control, I see a difference, his teacher, and my friends all can see improvement! He actually looks foward to his class, he just earned a purple belt!
I do cardio kickboxing, not like the arobic style kickboxing....real punches and real kicks! I lost 22lbs. so far.....I love it! It is like having a personal trainer!
The people here are wonderful. You can try it, your first class will be absolutely free.

I took a free women's self-defense class there once. It was very well thought out and did a good job of teaching practical moves to a beginner like me.

Because they train with actual UFC fighters and you have to earn your belt not pay for it

American Karate Training Center is the only reality based, practical fight and cardio training in metro Detroit. American Karate has outlasted and nearly put out of business bigger, better, and much newer facilities due to tried and true no holds barred methods.

Its a great atmosphere that attracts some of the best people downriver. You gain a sense of brotherhood with the people that join. I joined to help get in shape, and as a side effect I have learned not only how to train on my own, but I have learned to protect myself. The instructors are amazing, they will work with you one on one, and most of all help you through the tough routines. It's a no-pressure atmosphere and the only one pushing you harder then the instructors is yourself. You gain so much self respect for yourself and others.
The children's classes are awesome as well. Sensei Jeremy has quite a way with kids. Everyone there is having a great time and a majority of the parents like it so much, they join themselves in the cardio and kick-boxing courses.

I've been working out/training at AKTC for almost 8 months. My entire body has toned up, I feel healthier, and I feel much more confident in my ability to defend myself. Everyone I work out with is awesome, and a work out with Sensei Jeremy is like having a personal trainer.

I tried a great many of the schools on that list.. and all of them were about the same thing... give us a great amount of money and we will teach you how to make "showy" moves. Things that look cool. AKTC is about fighting, pure and simple. There you learn how to fight. They don't promote you up a belt if not ready either. When you get your belts you know deep down in your gut that you earned them and it is a feeling of pride. I would rather be a green belt at AKTC then a black belt at any other school.
