Our Philosophy

More than a gym.
A way of life.

America's Finest Karate & Kickboxing Academy was founded in Queens by Ricardo López, world kickboxing champion. Here we don't train to show off — we train to forge discipline, real self-defense and personal growth. Every class is a battle against your former self. A community of warriors who get up, hit hard and respect one another. Welcome to the dojo.
