What is KMA?
Maria Turnhout and Laura Welch lead a dynamic team at the Los Angeles Martial Arts studio KMA. Combining their extensive training in Martial Arts with a Bachelor of Arts and background in Physical Education, Child Psychology, Business, and Leadership, their program is powerful.
Using strong intention and positive reinforcement as a model, the Martial Arts classes and programs at KMA are designed to develop strong bodies and powerful minds, while providing students with the opportunity to build self-esteem and develop positive attitudes. As they train and learn Martial Arts, students will focus on values essential to establishing a strong foundation towards a happy and successful life.
Our goal
...to develop oneself physically, mentally, spiritually, and have good character.
