American Colleges of Mixed Martial Arts is a martial arts school serving south King County since 1980. Its instruction is rooted in self-defense, self-discipline, and traditional martial arts principles, with a structured approach designed to be safe, enjoyable, and confidence-building. Programs emphasize fundamentals such as balance, coordination, safety awareness, and focused listening, creating an accessible starting point for younger students and a foundation for continued martial arts training. Offerings include Tiny Tigers for ages 3 to 4, which meets twice weekly and focuses on coordination, awareness, safety, and listening skills, and a PeeWees program for ages 7 to 10 that introduces traditional martial arts training through concentration and self-control. In addition to its long-established Kent location, the school added a Columbia City satellite school in 2003.
