We offer four types of karate classes; youth (5 and up), teen and adult, Kenpo karate, and Mixed Martial Arts. All classes consist of one 45-minute class per week. Cummings Martial Arts does not charge belt fees or testing fees and only minimal tournament attendance is required. Our program also does not insist on calling the teacher "Master." For your convenience, class tuition can be set up using auto draft.

Combining strength training with karate and its historical close-range grappling roots (also referred to as tegumi) Northern Arts' Strength and Grappling classes improve power generation, joint stability, balance, takedowns (also known as tuite) and standing throws. Concentrated strength for striking relies on strength, speed and explosive core rotation, while grappling demands isometric control, hip drive, and grip resilience.

Looking for a more personal interaction? Private karate classes for all ages are available to avoid peer pressure and/or to help accelerate learning. Private karate classes are also a good idea for those who wish to speed up their belt progress, and also for those who may be new to karate and to martial arts. We also offer Ladies' Self-Defense classes for groups of 10 or more. Contact us today for complete details.

Cummings Martial Arts Tournaments take place each Spring. Our tournaments allow students to display what they have learned and to chart the progress they have made. Competing lets students reach their potential and builds confidence, self-esteem and self-resilience. Our tournaments also demonstrate the courage it takes to perform in front of relatives, judges and peers, while discovering areas in which to focus. Only CMA students are allowed to compete in tournaments.
