Who we Are And why You Should Train Here

Since we’ve opened, we’ve been dedicated to changing the lives of people one person at a time, through martial arts, education, and coaching. We strive to provide a safe, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for all students and family members. CMAA takes pride in creating an environment for individuals to achieve, develop, and succeed in their personal and professional goals.

We strongly believe that the martial arts are for everyone, regardless of age, gender or experience level. Throughout all of our programs, students will not only learn the necessary skill sets to protect themselves, but we also stand behind our realistic and practical approach, confident it will enable every member to achieve greatness and live their best life!

We teach a variety of styles to accomplish these goals: Jeet Kune Do, Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Wrestling/Jiu Jitsu, Kali/Escrima/Arnis, Boxing/Muy Thai, and Wing Chun. Students who train with us will use these styles to learn efficient kicking, striking, timing, disarming, coordination, and self-defense. We aim to help our students develop discipline and focus; as well as improving power, strength, and endurance.
