Great place too train your mind and body. I can confidentially say I wouldnt focus and commit with resolve if it wasnt for my time in this wonderful place. Mr. Matt is a fun teacher that is also quite knowledgeable as he is talented. Whether you need better self control or take on 6 and a half ninjas. He will take great care of you with his dedication too students. He is also fantastic with kids. In the beginning of their training, if they are still learning self control and respect. They will be too tired too act up after class from how much fun they had.

If you’re considering martial arts, you don’t need to look any further than American Martial Arts. Matt is not only an amazing instructor, but he is also one of the most genuine and caring person I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. His ability to connect with students of all ages and background is uncanny. His dedication to the craft and his students is unparalleled.We started out with our son, but now my entire family including my daughter, wife, and myself train with Matt. We feel very fortunate to have found American Martial Arts. They are now a part of our extended family.

Matt Quinlan teaches not only skills but also discipline and self-improvement. In less than 2 years, my progress was swift and rewarding. Ive observed him with young people as well as older (like me - 72 Y.O.). He gets respect from students because he earned it. High praises and well recommended.

My son had significant behavioral issues so we put him in karate with Matt. Matt took his time with him, challenged him, and kept him accountable.With Matts help, teaching, guiding and encouragement, my son no longer has behavioral issues and has evolved into an amazing young man.I will refer Matt to anyone I know and strangers, too. He is a phenomenal instructor, and extremely dedicated to his craft. I cant thank him enough.

Mister Matt is an amazing, extremely knowledgeable instructor! The dojo is very clean, the classes are always fun and very engaging. This is the place to be if you want to strengthen your mind and body while learning a very practical, highly effective style of martial arts and self defense

The owner is compassionate and really cares about people. He has volunteered his time with youth groups and the kids still talk about the impact he made in their lives.American Martial Arts works with families and veterans and is a credit to Vancouver.

Amazing instructor, overall great place to learn and be! My son has transformed in the time he has spent under the instruction and guidance of Mr Matt! He went from a quiet, shy, unsure teen to a confident, encouraged, eager young man. And as a mother I am so grateful we found Mr Matt who knew exactly what my son needed in his instruction to pull him out of his shell.American Martial Arts Vancouver is a welcoming place and as a parent and not a student even I feel like I belong to the family atmosphere there.My child is and will continue to grow with Mr Matt as his instructor. He looks forward to every lesson!Thank you!

This is a Fantastic place. Clean, professional, experienced and just an overall great place to go. I’ve seen kids and adults come out of their shell and gain confidence ! Who doesn’t need confidence?! Great place to learn The Martial arts however you learn so much more.

Amazing teacher, great with kids!

Mr Matt is an awesome instructor! He loves what he does and it showsThe classes are great for kids and adults alike

We love this place! Hands down the most understanding and respected instructor. Mr. Matt shows a tremendous display of professionalism..knowledge..understanding..and more importantly Passion for what he does. We enrolled our 3 year old daughter a couple months ago and so far we are noticing positive results. Thank you again Mr Matt for taking the time to teach our daughter and for being extremely easy to work with. If anyone of you out there reading this review and browsing martial arts locations to enroll in..then look no further! You will not be disappointed. Take the leap of faith and try it out for yourself. You have nothing to lose.

The whole team at American Martial Arts is absolutely amazing. I signed my 4 year old up to teach her some self control and respect and am humbled by the quality of people associated with this establishment. Mr Matt has been the perfect balance of patient and firm and I couldnt be happier with our experience. Thank you so much!!!

When I first met Mr. Matt a little over a year ago I was an overweight anxious mess. I suffered greatly from anxiety issues and had almost no self confidence. With his encouragement and guidance I am well on my way to becoming the person I want to be. I am now in the best shape of my life and am more self confident then I have ever been. My anxiety has declined so much and I am able to live a mostly normal life again. Everyday I thank my lucky stars that out of all of the martial arts facilities I could have chosen I came here. We are a family here and we take care of each other. If you are looking for good quality traditional training this is the place to come. Here there is a focus on healing as well as the material. After spending as much time here as I do I can most definitely see why they are just simply the best

We love this place! Mr. Matt is great with the kids. He is tough but fare. My boys have special needs with learning disabilities and Mr. Matt provides a safe fun place for them to learn. He only tests them for promotion when they are ready. He teaches discipline, respect and a few other things.

Coming from a long history of Martial Arts involvement I was extremely selective about where to take my 4 year old daughter to begin her training. After an exaustive search and doing extensive research on both this system and American Martial Arts Vancouver in particular. I entrusted my little ones development and well being to Mr. Matt. He has an uncanny talent to relate to and inspire both children and adults. I have never had a single regret and now my entire family including myself train there. I cant thank Master Pearl and Mr. Matt enough for bringing this fantastic system of training to my familys lives.

Mr. Matt is a wonderful teacher, and great with kids, teaches discipline as well as martial arts, and is great fun for the kids.

Mister Matt has done an amazing job at getting my 5 year old out of his shell and helped him to gain a huge amount of confidence, all while teaching him valuable skills and respect. Anyone on the fence should definitely give it a try.

Karate school for your kids? Challenging fitness workout for yourself? A place for your whole family? Tired of “McDojos”? Want the best Martial Arts system? Looking to learn self-defense? These are just some of the many aspects American Martial Arts Vancouver can help you with! Mr. Matt is very good with people of all ages. Try them out and see yourself become family! I have been with them for a year so far and it was the best decision of my life, you won’t regret it!! Why don’t you give them a try today?

We have been members of this dojo for nine years now. No where will you find better instruction, a more caring instructor, or a better environment to learn. I have watched so many fellow dojo members improve not just their physical abilities; but also their daily lives through Matts guidance. One word sums up what you receive here: excellence.

Originally signed my kids up in order to help my son fight duchenne muscular dystrophy and to help give my daughter the ability to protect herself. The skills they acquired here also gave my daughter confidence and my son the tools to defeat a bully that no teacher,counselor, or principal at his school could stop from terrorizing him. I have since signed up for classes to help with my knees and shoulders. I was diagnosed ten years ago with chondromalacia of the patella in both knees due to my job. The doctor said there was nothing I could do about it but a recent X-ray showed no more signs of the problem and they feel as good as they did 20 years ago. Wether needing healing, skills in self defense, or just confidence in everyday life I can give no greater endorsement than Matt Quinlan. I spent 2 months looking for the right person to teach my kids and found him here.
