We also facilitate a licensed after school program with transportation. Your child will be picked up from school daily and transported to our facility next door- the  DMAI - Life Skills center ( 3000 sq ft facility).

Here we provide a safe, family-oriented atmosphere for after school students. Our Media Center with internet accessible computers and laptops are available to the students for supervised homework assistance. Our library books and reference materials give students guided reading enrichment. We offer art and other activities as well.

As an after-school program participant, your child would be fully enrolled in one of our karate programs at no additional cost.

At the Detroit Martial Arts Institute, we practice and apply commitment, self-esteem, discipline, and physical fitness. Teachers, attorneys, doctors, executives, and others have found karate to be very useful in their everyday development.
