GMA Hosted Events
GMA is committed to providing a wide range of experiences for our students and
the community that goes beyond our normal offerings. We believe in developing a well-rounded body in
terms
of movement and skill, so camps like Parkour make better martial athletes. Additionally, we believe that
students can see and learn about the world through the amazingly rich culture and history that is the
backdrop of various martial arts from around the world.
We have hosted camps and specials events on topics such as German Longsword, unique styles of Silat,
Parkour, the Brazilian art of Capoeira, and movie stunt work. Additionally, within our specific fields,
we
have hosted Olympic Gold Medalists in TKD, several World Champions in BJJ, and world renowned speakers,
teachers, and authors in the world of self-defense. All these events are open to the public and the
larger
martial arts community, making GMA one of the biggest tourist draws in our town!

Group and Corporate Customized
Event
Customized Seminars
From fall and injury prevention for a "safety day" to active shooter training for your office. From a
personal protection talk to a womens group, a private FAST class with scenarios customized to your
group’s specific needs (such as real estate agents or mental health workers), or a workshop at another
martial arts school, GMA instructors are open to teaching martial arts or self-defense seminars on a
host of topics at various locations and for specific groups depending on availability. They have been
featured presenters at over 100 seminars, workshops, and camps. They have taught SWAT teams and National
Guard units, domestic violence groups, theater troops, various professional groups, and in nursing
homes. Drawing on their wide range of martial arts experience, they can tailor a seminar to special
topics or concerns, or provide overarching views of important concepts.
Contact us to discuss your
particular interest or concerns to your specific needs.
Children's Seminars
Children
We have taught introductory martial arts classes and self defense classes
including "stranger danger" for afterschool clubs, PE classes at all grade levels, and various youth
groups
such as girl scout troops. By far the most popular option
is hosting our FAST team for a STOP BULLIES FAST program at your
location.

Adaptive Martial Arts
Adaptive MA
Our adaptive martial arts programs offer a great way to increase focus, coordination, spatial awareness,
and balance for people with physical and intellectual impairments. After evaluating each student, we can
determine his or her needs and set up a program and rank requirements specifically for them. We offer
one on one private lessons, small group classes with 1/1 student/teacher (or mentor) ratio, or
specialized adaptations within our regular martial arts classes depending on each individual’s needs.
Our instructors have been working in some capacity with special needs students at our school for the
last ten years. We also have an instructor who works with special needs children in the public schools
and has conducted martial arts programs at the schools with these children.
