Allbritton Martial Arts Academy

Allbritton Martial Arts Academy is a martial arts school in Columbia, SC, offering karate, taekwondo, kickboxing, and self-defense in a single program. The school is led by Amber Allbritton, who brings 27 years of martial arts experience and multiple black belts earned across different styles. Students of all ages are welcome: ages 4 to 6 train as Lil' Critters, ages 8 to 12 enter the Beginners group, and students 13 and up join the Teen/Adult class. A Friday specialty session from 5:30 to 6:30 covers weapons, point sparring, and self-defense.

The academy's approach draws on several styles and combines them to give students practical self-defense skills, a workout, and stronger confidence and focus. Instruction emphasizes both the physical and mental sides of training, with students learning respect, discipline, confidence, integrity, and perseverance. The program includes a free first class and allows students to take anywhere from two to four classes per week for the same price. Beyond regular classes, the academy hosts seminars on bullying prevention, basic self-defense, women's self-defense for ages 15 and up, career days, and an Introduction to Martial Arts program with a ninja-style format. Allbritton Martial Arts Academy has partnered with Crossroads Middle School and SC Connections Academy, working with students at those schools during the year.
