More Than a Gym. A Brotherhood.

MSA was founded in 2015 by Master Kenji Tanaka with a single mission: make world-class martial arts training accessible to everyone. What started as a single dojo has grown into 8 locations with 50+ instructors and 2,500+ active students.

We combine traditional martial arts values with modern sports science. Respect, discipline, and perseverance are the foundation. But we also track progress, use video analysis, and tailor programs to individual goals.
