Forever Strong

Established in 1988, the Academy of Martial Arts is a professional school committed to the propagation of traditional Martial Arts. We believe the study of these Arts to be both a physical and philosophical challenge with abundant rewards for all who embark on the Martial Arts Way.

Children and young adults hold an important position in today’s society and will play a vital role in tomorrows. At the Academy of Martial Arts we believe in developing strong bodies and minds in a positive and challenging environment. Strong and secure children possess the confidence in them-selves to avoid many of the pitfalls facing today’s youth. It is our goal to help our students develop the skills to defend themselves and the confidence to walk away.

Throughout the year we offer several exclusive seminars and events for children and young adults emphasizing physical and character development. For our younger students, we offer safety days, summer camps, sleepovers, dojo parties, and picnics all with a training component. In the Municipal school systems we are actively teaching a bully resistance and anti violence education program in association with B.R.A.V.E.TM The principles of this program are incorporated in our children’s classes along with the physical components of street proofing.

For our youth students there are both training and academic seminars covering specific topics of particular interest. One of the most popular of these is our leadership program. Leadership camps, adventure camps, youth training days and lectures are all structured towards the development of teamwork, problem solving and leadership skills. These young minds will be tomorrow’s leaders.

Children and adults benefit from self-defense instruction, physical conditioning and the structured discipline associated with Martial Arts training. Their needs vary however, in how this information should be communicated. Our program accommodates separate classes for children and adults allowing these two groups to learn at different levels.

Our Executive Martial Arts program is structured to meet those specific needs of the mature student. Here, the physical and philosophical elements of the Martial Arts are taught at a level of diligence that can be appreciated by adults. These Arts include the hard and soft external or physical styles of Karate, Kobudo and Jiu Jitsu, along with the soft internal arts of Tai Chi and Pa Kua. Once again, in addition to scheduled classes there are numerous lectures, training seminars; and retreats offered throughout the year for the benefit of the mature student.

For all students, community support is a vital component of the principles cultured at the Academy of Martial Arts. With the support of our student body we participate in many community events throughout the year. These include district social gatherings, local charity events, fund raising benefits and other community happenings. We are involved with many of the local high schools; where we teach self-defense as an aspect of their physical education curriculum and have continually done so since 1988.

One of our social commitments, that we are most proud of, is the B.R.A.V.E.TM program. Our instructors teach the Bully Resistance Anti Violence Education course with the assistance of some of our students at no charge to over 10,000 school children a year. Recently, we have introduced a peer pressure module and a technology-based component to B.R.A.V.E.TM These two new programs have been meet with enthusiasm and praise from school administrators, teachers and students.

Committed to the propagation of traditional Martial Arts, we believe in a strong conviction towards community and the improvement of self. At the Academy of Martial Arts we work towards the development of rational and physical abilities, everyday skills that relate to all areas of life regardless of age. The study of the Martial Arts is a physical and philosophical challenge with abundant rewards for all who embark on the Martial Arts Way.
