About Us
The School
Thompson's Academy of Martial Arts has operated in Streetsboro continuously since 1993. The school recently made a move to more spacious quarters in the "Old Streetsboro Plaza". We now have over 2,000 square feet of matted workout area including a full-size kick-boxing ring, a fully equiped gym and a total of over 5,000 square feet of heated space making Thompson's Academy the premier martial arts school in the North East Ohio area.
Our Curriculum
Japanese Kempo
At Thompson's Academy of Martial Arts we teach Japanese Kempo as the core style. Kempo is primarily a self-defense art meaning "fist method". Japanese Kempo is a blend of Karate, jujitsu and weapon arts that meshes into an extremely well-rounded system that is suitable for both self-defense and tournament applications. We pride ourselves on producing students that are self-confident and self-reliant both on and off the mat.
Tai Chi and Qi Gong
In June Thompson's Academy of Martial Arts will also offer Tai Chi and Qi Gong. We have searched the surrounding area and have tried to find the best instructors for each of our new classes. The Thompson's family would like to welcome instructor Bill Vandenboom for the Tai Chi and Qi Gong classes.
For more information on any of our classes please contact Cathy Johnson, our program director, at 330-626-2004. She will be happy to help you!
