our coaching beliefs
Since 1999 KMAA has been providing high-quality martial arts and fitness instruction to the people in and around Knoxville, TN. In that time, our coaching staff has grown from just Coach Eric to now include many instructors and assistant instructors. We have done this because it is our belief that making a great team involves believing, becoming, and belonging. It is bringing together a group of people with diverse skills, beliefs, and attitudes in a way that they wholeheartedly give themselves to the team in order that both the individual students and the team may reach their full potential. Our Coaching staff is dedicated to the proposition that no matter who comes through the door we are dedicated to helping them improve their life in some way.
