If you've had the pleasure of trying a taichi class at the California Martial Arts Academy located in Irvine, CA, you'll understand what I'm talking about. With so many taichi instructors teaching at parks, houses, community centers, it's hard to distinguish if what you're doing is correct. Just take note, if you're mobility is not improving after taking your taichi class, something may be wrong. Tai Chi instruction at CMA will teach you how to move (correctly). Some of our students re drenched with sweat after a class of 8 pieces of brocade and other tai chi exercises.
WebMD just posted an article on the effects of Tai Chi and Arthritis Pain. http://arthritis.webmd.com/news/20090604/tai-chi-may-ease-arthritis-pain?src=RSS_PUBLIC.
The tai chi classes here at CMA are offered twice a week. You'll focus on Yang style tai chi and 8 pieces of brocade. A great alternative to breaking a sweat, increasing stability and flexibility for someone that is looking for something slower paced.

CMA and KBOC Team Up
California Martial Arts Academy and Kettlebells Orange County partner up to offer you the best in physical, functional and martial arts training. CMA's vision is to offer their students and the community the best in physical wellness. "Yes there is always a risk in training in martial arts but if it's done methodically with strict focus on form and functionality, you minimize those risk," said Jon Kurtz, Chief Instructor of CMA.
KBOC offers the methodology behind the functional movement patterns. Many of our students come to kettlebell class as a last resort to rehab their injuries. After a few weeks of training, shoulder, knee and back problems are a thing of the past. "I'd say come check out with the RKC system of kettlebells has to offer...sometimes seeking out kettlebell training after you've tried everything else is too late," says Kingston Heng, RKC.

CMA Headquarters gets mats
We at California Martial Arts always emphasis safety. We make sure our students our moving right, stretching right, and practicing right. Pre-evaluations are always done to ensure the safety and readiness of our students. That's why we've decided to lay down mats in our HQ in Irvine. This is great especially for children learning martial arts for the first time. In case they trip or lose their balance, they'll have a nice matted floor to "catch" them.

California Martial Arts goes HARDSTYLE!
CMA Instructors Kingston Heng and Celina Reed participated in the Russian Kettlebell Challenge.
The 3-Day workshop tested RKC candidates on the Basic Requirements to be a Russian Kettlebell Certified Instructor. We met the world's elite strength and conditioning coaches and was taught more in depth and in fine detail the benefits of kettlebell training.
"I started training with kettlebells to increase strength and power. After a month or two, I noticed a difference in my grabs and strikes. I also felt more flexible, and injuries that I had occurred throughout the years of my martial arts training were non existent," said Chief Instructor Kingston Heng.
Kettlebells isn't just for martial artist or power lifters. It can benefit everyone. If you're trying to slim down, it will do that. If you're trying to gain size, it will do that as well!
Kettlebell classes will be offered at California Martial Arts facilities in the future.
