About Us-Origin Story
           Martial science Academy began four years after Renshi Beach and Sensei Lena met when their love of karate and teaching was given the chance to grow. They opened MSA in July 2019 and have been teaching kata, self defense, weapons, and basics since. They have a unique enthusiasm and ability to find a way to teach students of all ages and abilities. They understand that not all students learn the same way and they consistently use different teaching tools and styles in a fun way while emphasizing respect, discipline, and technique.
