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.

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.

Holger Grimm recommends Kombative Concepts Martial Arts

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.
