Kwanzaa Martial Arts

Kwanzaa Martial Arts Academy!

The goal of the Kwanzaa Martial Arts Academy is to prepare youth and adults to reach their highest potential through concentration and disciplined action.  The Kwanzaa Martial Arts Academy accomplishes this by providing a logical training process designed to condition the entire body balancing physical, mental and spiritual aspects into one focused effort.

The martial art training is a forum to build character in the student.  Respect for authority, inner discipline, cooperative learning, correct breathing and meditation are infused with specific martial arts techniques to help students reach their highest potential.  Attention is devoted to strengthening intuition and instincts allowing for greater speed and stimulation of innate abilities found in the heart and creation of any artist.

Instruction is the responsibility of the master instructor who plans, supervises and provides instruction along with designated senior assistant instructors.  Students progress from beginning to more advanced levels of study demonstrating applied knowledge at each level.  Different color belts (from beginning white to advanced black) are awarded following aptitude and skill testing designed to evaluate skills in problem solving, analysis, decision making, social responsibility, leadership and mastery of level specific martial arts techniques.  Skill progression is monitored on each level through theory; one-step basic self-defense methods and compulsory forms, which combine level-specific techniques into orchestrated self-defense patterns.  More advanced levels demonstrate multiple applications for basic self-defense movements drawn from multiple martial art systems.
