Zai Martial Arts Academy
Introduction: Opened in 1995, today ZMA is one of the most professional, well established martial arts academies around.
At ZMA, students of all ages learn and achieve self confidence, concentration, control, respect, and self discipline in the rich tradition of Chinese Kung-Fu. Students improve their stamina, muscle tone, weight control, balance, coordination and awareness in a safe and professional environment.
Through years of training, we have combined modern teaching methods with traditional Martial Arts techniques, which make our certified instructors not only experts in martial arts but also in teaching.
What sets us apart from most other martial arts schools is that we include weekly PRIVATE lessons with your membership.
At ZMA, we are combining the arts of Kung-Fu, Tai Chi, and Submission Grappling together, in order to provide the most effective means of self-defense in realistic situations.
Our self-defense program is based on five ranges of combat:
* Non-contact range - weapon defense techniques such as knife,
sticks and gun
* Kicking range
* Punching range
* Clinch fighting range
* Ground fighting range

A year and a half ago we bought our grandson a month of lessons at Zai Martial Arts Academy as a reward for good grades. He has never looked back. This school is special, the instructors take care to know their students and work to make each students experience a positive one. SiFu Zai is an inspirational leader for the students and the staff at Zai Martial arts. We looked at several schools before deciding on this one. It is amazing how many schools stress fighting and not Martial Arts as an art form and lifestyle of both the physical and mental disciplines. This school teaches their students to "live by" the discipline not just to fight. They promote respect, hard work, and learning, that transcends from the class room to everyday life. Our grandson has shown much more self-confidence and disipline over the last 1 1/2 years. He loves it and looks forward to coming to the class each week. We can't thank the all instructors for everything they do.

Zai XMA provides a great blend of traditional martial arts and applicable, hands-on self defense. The instructors are incredibly passionate about what they do, and they foster a fun, safe, family-friendly, community environment. One thing that sets this school apart is the training program instructors must complete before teaching classes. The other thing that sets this school apart are its wonderful students. No Cobra Kai here. :) Women: Don't be nervous about signing up, the guys are nice and there are other female students too. Men: Yes, there are women and young adults in class, but you'll have bigger guys to train with. Adults: Don't worry about getting stuck in a class full of little kids -- they have their own really great programs to attend (which I'll let the parents review). Lastly, it's a good workout. I'm usually sweating bullets about two minutes into any given form, and that doesn't even touch the boxing workouts and sparring.

Sifu Zai and his teaching staff at ZMA are wonderful! From the moment we walked into the academy with my 6 and 4 year olds we knew that ZMA was the perfect school. The atmosphere and attitudes are very relaxed yet focused, without your typical MMA types who are addicted to their own testosterone. For a friendly and positive atmosphere ZMA is the place for families.

I started training at Zai Academy two years ago because this school taught a complete kung fu system -- choy li fut and tai chi. The challenging curriculum includes indepth single and double sword and staff training. I love this school, the teachers and the other students. The chief and assistant instructors are enthusiastic, dedicated, highly skilled, and caring. Sifu Zai is almost always present, in charge, and teaching. After 2 years, I can see that he obviously cares about each student's progress and he is an inspiring teacher. The training environment is friendly, respectful, and disciplined.

I've been with ZMA for two years now and have been doing martial arts for about 9 years.Not only is the training top notch but the school is free of arrogant attitudes, which is hard to find in martial arts school now a days.Plus having the possibility to learn 52 weapons? What more can I say
