This place will change your life. Do I have your attention? Good. The Academy of Martial arts is what you have been looking for. Whether you want to up your fitness level, learn self defense, teach your child self-confidence and respect or find a place to de-stress while spending time with other wonderful people, this is the place to be. I grew up in this school, starting here with Sensei Robert when I was around 9 – 10 years old. I was timid, sickly, asthmatic and lacking self confidence. Sensei Robert and the other instructors guided me and truly helped me find myself. The Academy of Martial Arts isn’t just a place you go to class and leave, you truly grow roots into this school. Everyone knows everyone, and you make real, lifelong friends(and family) here. I am 28 years old now, I live 40 minutes away, and I still make the drive once a week to train here because of how truly special this place, and everyone in it, is. If you are looking for more technical information, you would be hard pressed to find someone as knowledgeable as Sensei Robert(as well as his staff). Through his long career, he has studied with many greats and the instructors that have come through the school have all impacted the Academy in some small or great way. The RDCA style is unique, combative oriented and something that Sensei Robert spends countless hours shaping and refining. If there were 100 stars on Unilocal,I would give them all to the Academy. From Jeet Kun Do, to Tae Kwon Do, from Brasilian Jiu Jitsu to Eskrima, from Krav Maga to Thai Boxing, from unarmed defense to gun and knife defense — and EVERYTHING in between. You will strengthen yourself — inside and out and truly push yourself. If you stick to it and experience the Black Belt Test, you will go through an experience that no words can describe. My first Black Belt Test, as well as the subsequent ones I have tested in or supported in, will forever be in my heart. Do yourself a favor, try a class, you will never look back.
