Highly recommend. With no martial arts experience I felt very welcomed my first day! In the short time I have been going I already feel like I have learned so much and can't wait to keep practicing and training!

My son was interested In martial arts however he wasn’t sure exactly what type he wanted to do and was nervous about his first class. We arrived and were greeted warmly and he was given excellent instruction and extra attention. It was a wonderful experience and he looks forward to multiple classes and styles of martial arts each week!

Coach Keith is an exceptional coach with a wealth of knowledge in various martial arts disciplines. His expertise in Combat Submission Wrestling and Jeet Kune Do is truly impressive, and his positivity makes the class enjoyable. The way he delves into the specific applications of each art form is incredibly insightful.

What sets our academy apart is our unwavering commitment to imparting martial arts skills, as well as instilling a sense of responsibility when wielding those capabilities.
We prioritize cultivating values such as patience, perseverance, respect, and humility in our students. Beyond being an educational institution, our academy functions as a community that promotes positive values.
We offer a wide variety of programs designed to keep you active, build confidence, stay focused, and get fit, as you learn to protect yourself.
At Kombative Concepts Martial Arts, we help kids grow strong—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Our dynamic program blends Boxing, Kickboxing, Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Martial Arts, BJJ, and Wrestling to build confidence, discipline, and focus. In a fun and structured environment, students learn respect, perseverance, and teamwork—skills that last a lifetime.
Step into a dynamic striking program that blends the best of Boxing, Muay Thai, and Savate—three distinct disciplines that sharpen your skills, boost your fitness, and build true fighter confidence. Whether you're a beginner or experienced athlete, our program helps you develop power, precision, and agility in a supportive, high-energy environment.
At KCMA, our Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW) program blends the most effective elements of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Catch Wrestling, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Freestyle Wrestling, Judo, and Sambo into one powerful grappling system. Originally developed by legendary coach Erik Paulson, CSW is a modern, no-gi submission grappling style designed for real-world application and high-level performance.
Our MMA program at KCMA is built on the proven foundation of Erik Paulson’s Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW) system, blending striking, wrestling, submissions, and real-world fight tactics into a seamless training experience.
This isn’t just a mix of arts thrown together — it’s a carefully structured curriculum that integrates the best of Muay Thai, Boxing, CSW grappling, clinch work, takedowns, throws, and ground control, designed specifically for the demands of modern Mixed Martial Arts.
Our Weapons Training program centers on Filipino Martial Arts (FMA)—a dynamic system that teaches both weapon-based and empty-hand combat. From sticks and knives to joint locks and takedowns, students develop lightning-fast reflexes, coordination, and fluid movement. Whether you're training for self-defense or mastering traditional combat, FMA at KCMA delivers a powerful, adaptable skill set.

I've been to several martial arts schools over the past decade, and KCMA is by far the best. From your first class, it's clear that Coach Keith's knowledge and expertise are exceptional. He's a true martial arts professional who genuinely cares about his students' growth in both combat skills and discipline. Coach Keith always makes himself available before and after classes to review the curriculum and help us fine-tune our form. If you're serious about leveling up your skills and abilities, this is the place to be.

I have been training at KCMA for a few months now, having primarily looked for a gym that offers CSW. As an experienced martial artist who has trained at various academies in various arts/systems, I feel I can gauge the quality of instruction fairly well. I have to say that coach Keith is a very experienced martial artist, who, through his competence, personality, and open-mindedness has already made me better not only at grappling, but also at boxing and kickboxing. The atmosphere at KCMA is very open and welcoming, and even people completely new to martial arts are not overwhelmed or intimidated by what is being taught and how it is being taught. At the same time, experienced practitioners and competitors are being challenged and met at their level, so they can continue to progress. I’m looking forward to continue my martial arts journey at KCMA and would recommend this academy to anyone who is interested in building or advancing a martial arts skill set for themselves or their children.
