From the reviews
I have attended CMA for over two years as of this review, and I look forward to continuing my training here. This has been one of the best confidence boosters, and the best physical training that I have ever had. And not only do they train your body, but also your mind and soul.
This place is excellent! The instructors there make you feel right at home, and like you can fully be yourself! They push you to, and pass your limits, they understand if you have a bad day or if your going through a hard time.
Very skilled instructors with a rich history in martial arts! This is absolutely one of the best if not the best in a 60 mile radius! I visited 5-6 different gyms, watched classes, asked questions, gathered details, and called more then that before landing here.
Action Zone CMA is an excellent Dojo. The owner, instructors, and staff are very professional and educated trained experience in the teaching of Martial arts. They have the understanding on how to teach and train each student on the level that the student is at and that within itself create a self confidence in…
New to Karate? Start at Action Zone CMA
Action Zone CMA comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Action Zone CMA
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
