More Than a Gym. More Like a Family.
CMA&F has been training Canberrans since 2011. Here's our story.
What we live by
How CMA&F began
Master Tom and his family moved to Canberra in Dec, 2010 – a few months before he had been awarded his 4th Degree in Hapkido. He thought he'd start a Hapkido class and fondly remembers saying "I'll have 10 members by the end of the first year". Well, he was wrong – and the end of the first year he had a full-time facility and over 50 students.
15+ years later, and now with his club Partner Tamara, they run 2 clubs and over 7 different martial arts styles to ages 3yrs+ and fitness classes to adults.
The mission hasn't changed: build the kind of club Master Tom wished he'd had as a kid. Welcoming. Honest. Fun.
More than a gym – a community
Everyone decides to get into martial arts or fitness based on their own needs – getting fit and healthy, learning self-defence, or regaining self-confidence. Joining is one thing, but to actually reach your goals you need two vital ingredients: motivation and support.
At CMA&F we address both – through our values, our community, and our coaches. From day one you'll find a community of people invested in your journey. You'll find another family.
From your first class you'll realise our members are different to an ordinary club: we greet each other, learn each other's names, and offer no judgement towards anyone. It shows in every single class.
