GLOBAL MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY - A Step Above The Rest!

Global Martial Arts Academy is different from other schools in the area in a number of ways. We have been in the North Carroll County area, for approaching 20 years and offer well over 100 years of cumulative experience! We are the only school in the area with age and belt specific classes with a flexible schedule. Global Martial Arts is a member of four different consulting groups - each giving us the latest ideas about different aspects of Martial Arts (and teaching)! Our school is backed by the United States Korean Marital Arts Federation (USKMAF) - an internationally recognized organization whose goal is to set higher standards for Korean Martial Arts in the U.S. The President of the USKMAF is Grandmaster J.R. West, 9th Dan, certified by the KiDoHwe #186.
Each of our Instructors is a certified Black Belt in HapKiDo, many of them 2nd, 3rd and 4th Degree black belts! Our Instructors have each trained from white belt through Black Belt here at our school. This means that we know they are teaching exactly what we want them to, in the way we want it taught. All instructors are at least 18 years old and receive weekly Instructor training. At our school, there are NO kids teaching kids!
