I came across Global Martial Arts University while I was searching online after discovering that there were no local dojo’s that would fit my schedule and I couldn’t have been happier. Not only am I able to train and earn real rank through GMAU, but I can train anywhere, anytime, on my own schedule! The guidance and one-on-one instructor support from Sensei John and Sensei Michael is something that is rare to find at ANY dojo. I have not only learned so much physically, but I have also been able to make significant improvements in battling my panic disorder. I am currently a yellow belt and will soon be testing for my orange. My journey has only just begun, and I am proud to be a part of Global Martial Arts University!
