Welcome to Gukumatz!

Gukumatz Martial Arts

A family oriented martial arts program.

 

Moving Announcement

At Gukumatz Martial Arts we teach Shotokan Karate Do as our primary discipline, but interlace techniques from many styles and disciplines to give our students a well rounded background and allow for adaptation for special needs and limitations of students. We also regularly teach courses in self-defense that are simple yet effective and require no background in any fighting art.

I have been teaching since 2006 when we began to hold classes in the basement of our home until we needed more room. In 2008 we moved into the St. Joseph Church Bennett Building and began to expand our services. In the spring of 2010 we moved to our current location where we have a 2,500 square foot facility we can finally call home.

Through my studies of the martial arts, I have been empowered with self-confidence, self-respect, and self-discipline. That empowerment is what drives me to share my knowledge with others. My long term goal for both new and current students is for them to experience firsthand; honor, strength, respect, confidence, mental strength, inspiration, aspiration, the opening of their imagination and challenges they will never forget or regret. Because “Martial Arts is more than fighting, it is a way of life”.

Each of our programs; Shotokan, Tai-Chi and Kick-Boxing are just $40 per month for the first one and you can add either or both of the others for an additional $10 charge each per month. Please call if you have any questions.
