About Us

About us and our hybrid approach  to teaching at Cumming Martial Arts Relies on our Expertise to use most practical parts of various martial arts to elevate students abilities to protect themselves.

Jiu JITSU

Jiu-Jitsu, originating from Japan, is a comprehensive martial art that exemplifies the principles of grappling, throws, and strikes, creating a well-rounded fighting system. This traditional art form has been refined over centuries to incorporate more aggressive techniques, mirroring the combat style of the samurai when they were unarmed.

Jiu-Jitsu has evolved into various forms, each maintaining the core principles of the original art. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is one of the most popular adaptations, focusing on ground fighting and submissions. Other styles, such as Aiki Jiu-Jitsu, emphasize joint manipulations and the redirection of an opponent’s momentum to gain the upper hand.

At Cumming Martial Arts, we honor the rich history of Jiu-Jitsu by teaching a curriculum that blends traditional techniques with modern applications. Our classes are designed to help students of all levels develop their skills in grappling, throws, and self-defense, ensuring a well-rounded martial arts education.

Striking and Weapons

Karate

As one of the most popular forms of martial arts, translates to “empty hands.” This discipline involves balanced strikes targeting various parts of the body, including pressure points, without favoring any specific area. Our Karate training primarily focuses on stand-up techniques, emphasizing strikes, blocks, and footwork.

In addition to Karate, we also practice Western Boxing as your introduction to Striking in our system. We understand the deep tradition of Karate while still using a modern approach.

Kobudo, which means “the ancient way.” Kobudo incorporates the use of traditional Okinawan weapons, including staffs, sticks, and other unique tools that were once everyday items but have been adapted for self-defense. This aspect of our training allows students to gain proficiency in using these ancient weapons, adding depth and versatility to their martial arts skills.

At Cumming Martial Arts, we offer comprehensive training in both Karate and Kobudo, providing students with a well-rounded martial arts education. Whether you are interested in mastering hand-to-hand combat or learning the art of traditional weaponry, our experienced instructors are here to guide you every step of the way. Join us to enhance your physical abilities, build confidence, and develop a deeper understanding of these ancient martial arts traditions.

I highly recommend CMA – they do it right!!!!! Emphasis is placed on perfecting the art rather than belt promotion. We did a great deal of research before selecting a place for our son to train & are confident we made the BEST decision!”

I taught Judo and self-defense for many years, and also have a black belt in Tae KwonDo. I am very impressed by what I see here. Sensei Evans is top notch in every regard!

We are so glad that we found this dojo. After looking for a martial arts school for our daughter to train at, this one is the best by far in the area (and probably in GA)!

The instructors really care about their students and not only teach them functional (and impressive) martial arts techniques, but also leadership & life skills that the kids will carry with them into the future.
