The techniques we practice are similar to every other martial art school: punches are punches, kicks are kicks, throws are throws, grappling is grappling. But WHAT we practice is the uniqueness of ZMA. We measure success in our students not only by rank, but how their lives improve. By increasing concentration, reducing stress, and raising confidence, we help students become masters over their actions, rather than prisoners of their reactions. In ancient cultures, students studying martial arts disciplines did not practice to obtain a rank or belt. They practiced to develop themselves, physically, mentally and spiritually. A physical workout and self defense skills combined with an emphasis on meditation and introspection is the real essence of true martial arts.
