Feel free to call or email with any questions you may have.

Expo Postponed

Unfortunately, due to economic pressures, we have had to postpone the Springfield Area Martial Arts Expo indefinitely.

We regret that we have had to take this action and apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the expo. It is our sincere hope to be able to hold the expo at a later date.

Again, we apologize and hope that everyone in the martial arts community is able to continue to embrace the sense of community we had hoped to inspire.

Thank you for your support.

MAY 24th. Class Called On Account of Rain

Sorry everyone, but we had to cancel tonight's class due to the storms in the area. I hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience, but we'll still be meeting next week, and we look forward to seeing you all there.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Modern American Martial Arts

Our philosophy at Modern American Martial Arts is that our most precious gift in this world is life. Our lives, our bodies, our manifest energies are ours from birth. They are given to us, free of charge, and all the days which follow from that are ours to create. Every breath and every day we have to cherish as our first, and most true possession.

That philosophy is what drives us here at Modern American Martial Arts. In order to defend that life, we teach our students a curriculum which is focused on self defense. Here you will learn that you have value, and that that value is worth protecting. We will empower you with the tools necessary to do just that, whether your attacker is armed or unarmed.

Our system is rooted primarily in Modern American Kenpo, but includes aspects of Judo, Jujitsu, Capoeira, Aikido, Western Boxing and Close Quarter Combat Training. You will learn how to strike, throw, disarm, and disable an opponent, wherever the fight may take you.

Most importantly, you will learn how to recognize and avoid dangerous situations before they develop, giving you the best opportunity to survive a violent assault.

Here at Modern American Martial Arts, you won't just learn how to punch and kick. You will learn how to think. How to perceive. How to act, instead of react.

It is our goal to have students with a deep and abiding respect for themselves and others, as well as for the history and tradition of the martial arts. But most importantly, we teach self defense.

Because your life is one worth protecting.
