About

Green County Martial Arts Institute, LLC. (G.C.M.A.I.) is dedicated to the furtherance of martial arts, through a multi-system approach. We do not believe that any one system is "perfect", nor do we believe that a single system is learnable for every individual. While we teach specific techniques, we do so while adapting them to the body mechanics and dynamics of each student. Our goal is to give each student the tools and confidence necessary to adequately and efficiently defend themselves in any situation.

G.C.M.A.I. takes a traditional approach to instruction, maintaining traditional courtesy and respect, for students and instructors. The foundation of true martial arts is discipline and control in a structured learning environment. We do not “give” belts out, they MUST BE EARNED! Practice does not make perfect – Perfect practice makes perfect.

Martial arts are not easily or quickly learned. The physical aspects of the art are often easily mastered, but the psychological is often ignored or forgotten. It is not enough to learn the technique; you must learn why and how the technique works. A love of the art, and a study of the philosophy behind the art, will increase your respect of the techniques, and thus cause an intelligent reaction to any given situation. A true practitioner of the art does not study to better defend themselves, but instead studies so they never have to.

Dedication and practice, while vitally important, are second to motivation. What drives your desire to learn? If it is anything other than relaxation, and desire for self- betterment, you will never truly be a martial artist. This is an art, and students will be expected to learn and practice with intelligence, diligence and perseverance.
