The GMAA is based in Wrexham. We specialise in blade and empty hands self defence. The arts we teach are combat proven and highly respected. We have direct linage to GM Angel Cabales, GM Leo Giron & Sifu Dave Carnell.

 

We have 4 levels you progress through, students, graduates, Guro and Master.

 

The students curriculum is split into beginner, intermediate phase one, intermediate phase two, 

advanced phase one and advanced phase two. All testing is informal and at your own pace.

 

All student testing is free of charge.

 

Graduates are students that have passed evaluation on the club curriculum. This is done under

pressure and demonstrates a basic level of proficiency.

 

Our Guro curriculum contains Defondo, Silat, the Wooden Dummy (basics, Wing Chun form, JKD form).

They also are taught how to teach the students curriculum. All fully trained Guros will be proficient

with the above.
