Exciting New JKD Program Update
Believe me it’s bitter sweet for all us to say goodbye to the Juman family as they prepare for an exciting next chapter in their move to Florida!

CMAA’s Combatives (JKD/Kali) Instructor Steve Juman has been an incredible resource to the academy. I’ve always greatly admired your consistency, passion and dedication to both your art and class. Don’t think I ever told you/anyone but I’d say your approach to martial arts has shaped my ideas about martial arts to a large extent but specifically in regards to Taiji.

Beyond the skills and teaching methodology I’ve always appreciated your positive and easy going nature. Thank you for bringing such knowledge and energy to CMAA over the years. On a personal level I’ve always appreciated you as a friend and taken to heart your insight on subjects on marriage and family. Thanks for being a good listener, soundboard and friend. Wish you and the family all the best on your new adventure.

Now the Good News!

For our students and friends please know JKD/Kali at CMAA will continue! Same time, same place, with instructors Steve has vetted and vouched for. That’s right. The local martial arts community is officially even stronger. CMAA has allied with the Upstate Center for Marital Arts and will be bringing in great JKD/Kali instruction under George Brown and John Desorbo. With this partnership CMAA will not only have the opportunity to continue with their training but even have opportunities through the Upstate Center for Martial Arts to expand their participation to other classes, seminars and even earn rank/certification!

Fire Tiger Championships 1st Place Winner Eddie Xu
My grandfather used to half jokingly look at his own artwork in awe and say “I did this?”.

Now that I have such accomplished students I understand his sentiment.

Sometimes I watch my own students and wonder how I did it… of course the special ones have brought their own combination of talent and grit but man does it feel good to say “That’s my student”.

Congratulations Eddie!

Halloween at CMAA!

We will be training as usual but feel free to join us in costume for some extra FUN and candy! Friday the 29th and Sat the 30th!

To ensure the safety of all students, we have revised our group class schedule to reduce the time of classes each day and to ensure there is a break between the classes. This is to minimize any potential overlap/contact among students and allow time for necessary clean-up between classes.

Classes will be offered in 2 different types:

1.Classes offered On Site w/ Online option (ex. Tai Chi) .

2. Classes On Site (ex. Kungfu, Tai Chi, Sanda Kickboxing, and Combatives).

Please note onsite classes require registration and have a 16 person maximum. Classes on ZOOM do not require registration and there is no capacity limit.

For ZOOM classes Tai Chi sign in information will remain the same:

FSK NORTH Kyokushin Karate at CMAA!

Experience the power of Kyokushin first hand and change your life!

Known as “The Strongest Karate”, Kyokushin Karate (極真) is a style of stand-up fighting. "Kyokushin" is Japanese for "The Ultimate Truth". It is rooted in a philosophy of self-improvement, discipline, and hard training. Kyokushin Karate offers a powerful combination of tradition and sport. It draws on tradition in its techniques and emphasis on spiritual development but uses full contact sport fighting as its vehicle. While Kyokushin is known for its power, and practicality, not everyone who pursues training in Kyokushin Karate need be a competitive fighter. This style of martial arts can be practiced by anyone and will benefit anyone who dedicates themselves to it as a means of self-mastery!

Evening: Tues 6-7pm, Weds 6:15-7:30pm, and Thurs 6-7pm

This class is geared toward Teens and Adult (ages 12+). No experience is required. Typically, one classes week will be taught by a senior instructor of Fighting Spirit Karate (live or via ZOOM), with Shifu on the floor leading. All other classes will be led by Shifu reviewing the modes, techniques and lessons outlined by FSK Black Belts previously in the week leading up. Our bridging with Fighting Spirit Karate will give access to incredibly passionate and knowledgeable instructors, a phenomenal community of Kyokushin practitioners and many training & tournament and event opportunities!

These classes will be offered at $99/month for non CMAA members and just $45/month for current members enrolled in other programs. We recommend participants have MMA style gloves (boxing gloves are acceptable), and shin guards. For those interested in sparring other protective equipment is encouraged. Note: Kyokushin style uniforms can also be ordered and purchased from Shihan Sean at FSK.

Feel free to send our website link to your friends and encourage them do do a trial week! https://www.fsknorth.com/
