Private Lessons - Private lessons are a great way to keep up with missed classes due to vacations and other reasons. Lessons are $20.00 per ½ hour or prepaid $60.00 for four ½ hour lessons. See Sifu Debbie or Sensei for dates and times. Please give 24 hours advance notice when cancelling a private lesson to avoid being charged for the lesson. School Creeds - Our school creeds are posted on the back wall of our Dojo. Please learn the creeds, give thought to their meaning, and apply them! Developing a code of conduct: how we act on a daily basis, is a large part of what our martial arts training is all about! Creed #1 - I intend to develop myself in a positive manner and to avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health. Creed #2 - I intend to develop my self discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others. Creed #3 - I intend to use what I learn in class constructively and defensively to help myself and others, and to never be abusive or offensive. CMA DEMO TEAM CMA's
demo team is dedicated to showcasing the benefits, discipline, and hard
work associated with the martial arts. Our training is above and beyond
the standard class curriculum. We have special training practices and
perform at schools, public events, parades, and more. The demo team is
not an opportunity to be instructed or corrected on your requirement material.
The demo's are designed to educate, entertain, serve the community, and
display what we do at CMA while introducing us to the public! See our demo team page for more details! Contact Sensei Shekosky to book a CMA demo at your activity or special event! Did you know that "Sifu" is a Chinese term for teacher? At
