There is a Difference...
- Choosing a Martial Arts School is an important decision. Not all schools are the same. The school you choose will determine just how well you can actually defend yourself, and how physically fit you become in a safe training environment. The objective is to become energetic and confident.
- A true teacher must be able to communicate self defense technology clearly so that students can understand it easily and learn how to make it work for them, not to just have them copy the instructor. For the same investment of time and money, you will learn more, benefit more and enjoy yourself more at the Academy.
- Give us a call and come to look around - you will quickly see why the Martial Arts Academy is a friendly, positive and healthy environment that has no equal in South Orange County. This Academy has a complete training program that will allow all students to reach their FULL potential. This means a much greater commitment to the student than most schools can provide. We have a 2" thick 1,000 sq. ft. Olympic-style padded floor for safety and true all-out training in Aikido and Jiu-jitsu.
Many schools have only carpet or a few mats. We have an extensive amount of training equipment including
four heavy and speed bags available for use. In fact, the Academy is the only local school named to the top 100 schools in the Nation by Martial Arts Business Magazine.

In an age when most Martial Arts schools are
becoming extremely sport
oriented and increasingly commercialized, we are different! Our goal is to
make better people, not merely ones that might win a trophy. Our Martial Arts are
for everyone, not just the potential tournament winners. Studies have proven
that Traditional Martial Arts are far superior to their modern sport
oriented progeny.
Studies Prove That Traditional Martial Arts Are Best
The following study was reported in American Health magazine May of '87.
At Texas A&M University, Dr. Michael Trulson divided a group of teens prone
to delinquency in to three groups. For 6 months group A studied traditional
martial arts, group B studied a sport martial art, Tae Kwon Do, and group C got
no training at all. The results: No change in group C, but the other two
groups responded in radically different ways. Those in group A, who got
training that emphasized mind and body showed less anxiety, higher self
esteem, improved social skills, stronger values, and below average levels of
aggressions. But kids in group B (that studied Tae Kwon Do) got worse,
their aggression shot way up! Moral: If you enroll your children in a
martial arts class, stick to tradition.
Boxing, Tae Kwon Do and other sports show
that training the body without the mind
is a path to trouble.
