About Us
Martial Arts Centers
Ki Martial Arts Centers was founded in 2003 by Master Dan Piller with the goal to teach practical martial arts with today’s self-defense needs in mind. Many of the students of KiMAC come to the school with many years of experience in other martial arts. However, most find what they have been looking for when they start their training with us.

Testimonial
Student Reviews
5/5
Our family has been involved in martial arts for over six years. We wanted to add something to our training that could be used for actual self- defense. After our first Hapkido class at Ki Martial Arts Center, we were excited at the possibilities of learning truly practical skills. The environment was unlike anything we had ever experienced. Master Piller and his Black Belt instructors lead classes in a systematic, organized way ensuring top notch instruction for all levels. Master Piller embodies both the values and skills that you would expect of a high ranking martial arts instructor and teaches those lessons to his students with an obvious passion. His students are very respectful and humble and are eager to soak up new knowledge. We are amazed at how much we have learned in such a short period of time and are looking forward to our journey.
