Combined Martial Arts Academy (CMAA) has been training in Karate and been a successful Character Development school since 1986. We are located in Nerang on Queensland's Gold Coast. CMA is one of the largest Martial Arts schools on the Coast teaching self defense to all ages...from 3 to 60. CMAA has produced champions in life as well as in the martial arts. History says one in a 500 males would be successful in getting their Karate Black Belt and one in 1000 are the stats for women. In 2007 alone, CMA has produced 25 Black Belts, 12 of these being females. CMA is always looking for upcoming Instructors where we pick talented students with the right attitudes. CMA has a strong Leadership team which Shihan develops and molds by the team development training workshops conducted every fortnight. This helps the younger generation to possess leadership and teaching qualities. Nicholas Peterson, Amod Mahatme, Nathan Naumann, Tori Fretwell, Matthew Scott and Sonya Renshaw are proudly the current team. CMA offers a number of programs for physical fitness and instruction in Karate. CMAA's HistoryCombined Martial Arts Academy, (CMAA), the Gold Coasts leading Self-Defense Academy was established 25 years ago by a man with vision. Founder, Shihan Bill Wakefield had a dream and through his dedication to his sport, his passion to assist others and the strong support of his local community Bill opened his first club. He now operates Queensland, New South Wales and New Zealand. Our members are people from all walks of life, with their ages ranging from 3 to 65+ years. A large part of our members not only joining the club initially but also then remaining members is the fact that they know they are being taught by one of the best in the business. Over the past 25 years, the Combined Martial Arts Academy has been responsible for development of junior self-defense on the Gold Coast. Teaching the art of self discipline, focus and control, as well as practical safe self-defense techniques, Shihan Bill and his team of professional, qualified Instructors have enabled many children to learn the right way to defend themselves in a confrontational situation, with a strong focus on self-defence not retaliation. This has now been taken to the next stage with the introduction of the STAR (Success Through Accepting Responsibility and or Stop, Think, Act, Review) Program. The STAR Program was developed by the Jefferson Centre for Education in the USA and is currently used by over 5,000 schools and 50,000 classrooms across the USA, where it has reached over 2 million students. The Jefferson Centre focuses on the systematic teaching of common values. These values include honesty, respect, responsibility, integrity, courage, tolerance, justice, self-confidence and politeness. The Combined Martial Arts Academy is the only organisation in Australia currently teaching the STAR Program. CMAA has provided children and adults alike with an avenue to maintain a central focus and to compete in structured, professional competition arenas in Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, America, Canada, Japan, Cook Islands,Italy, Argentina and Korea.How to Contact Us We invite you to come and visit our facility located at 46-50 Spencer Road, Nerang, QLD and consider enrolling in one of our outstanding PROGRAMS such as, Little Dragons, our S T A R Program, Anti-Bullying Programs, Self Defence, Martial Arts, Xtreme Martial Arts.
