Posted By : Scott Henry Posted : 9/15/2008 Comments : I've known Mr Hamlin for a while and he's always had a passion for the martial arts. He knows his craft but not only that he understands much of the theory and "science" of it. He does not just go through the motions and just hand out belts like other schools do. He is honestly interested in making sure you learn self-defense. He doesn't give the sales pitch that most schools do either.
Posted By : Proud Parents Posted : 6/25/2007 Comments : Ever since our daughter has taken martial arts at Folsom Karate Academy, she is happier and lifts her head higher with confidence! She is doing great at school and looks forward to going to FKA to see her martial arts family. She always comes out with a smile on her face. This Folsom family owned martial arts studio is "Folsom's Best Kept Secret"! Great value for your money and no sales pitch, just great instructors.
Our daughter started three years ago when she was 4 years old and she absolutely loves it! It is more than a martial arts school. She has more self-confidence and excellent focus at school (great grades too!). We highly recommended it to all families that do NOT want the sales pitches you get from the big chains and just want excellent quality instruction where the kids learn more than just martial arts! Check them out - well worth it!

"Instructor really cares about the kids and he takes pride of his work. His students are his life. We've been in a different school and we were not satisfied. His rates and location is a plus too. My daughter started with FKA when she was 4 and she now 7 and still loves it. We love
Mr. Hamlin and staff."

The Wilson Family
"Mr. Hamlin and his team of instructors are wonderful with our kids. They provide training and help develop skills that build their minds, bodies and soul. They focus on the life-journey by giving the kids skills they will use their whole life not just the time between soccer/baseball seasons. "
Steven Loe
"The Folsom Karate Academy is family friendly and teaches adults and kids martial arts that can be used for real self defense. The instructor cares about how well the students actually learn the material and is thought of highly by the adults and children."
Cindee Maduri
"Mr. Hamlin is such a refreshing balance of discipline and fun. I cannot see my son anywhere else"
Juan Mondul
"Absolutely awesome! Adam (Mr. Hamlin) does inspired work with the students. One of the biggest positives is how he has a knack for striking the proper balance of discipline and fun for the younger kids and new students. The affect is kids that want to continue and understand how to "get serious" as their skill and experience improves. "
Yin Liu
"My two kids learn a lot from it."
Posted By : Teresa Posted : 2/27/2007 Comments : Our family has been involved with Mr. Hamlin's school now for over 2 1/2 years. We continue to recommend this karate school over others due to the personal committment and energy given by Mr. Hamlin to the kids. He consistantly strives to meet each child where they are in a way that exudes humor and respect at the same time. Mr. Hamlin provides routine, structure and discipline in a way that makes children feel like they are having fun while learning form, self-defense and the art of karate. Our family STRONGLY recommends anyone interested in martial arts to try this karate school first.
Posted By : Joel Yang Posted : 2/15/2007 Comments : Mr. Hamlin offers an excellent mixture of various martial art styles that provides a practical, real world self defense style. His focus on the "art" establishes discipline within the children. But his style doesn't ignore the "martial" portion of the equation. I know for a fact that when my child finishes this process, he will be more than capable of protecting himself. In the end, what is the purpose of taking a self defense class if all it provides you is a series of systematic motions that have no practical value?
