Gordon Martial Arts

We’re not just building martial artists. We’re building future leaders!

At Gordon Martial Arts, what happens on the mat goes far beyond learning how to punch, kick, or earn the next belt. Every class is an opportunity to build confidence, develop discipline, learn respect, and discover what you’re capable of achieving.

We believe the lessons learned through martial arts should carry into the classroom, at home, and throughout life. Our goal isn’t simply to develop great martial artists, but to help shape confident, respectful, and determined individuals who aren’t afraid of a challenge.

Because at Gordon Martial Arts, it’s about more than martial arts. It’s about who you become along the way.

Just because a hurricane has us stuck inside doesn’t mean we have to become one with the couch! 😂🌪️

Earlier this week, we shared an article featuring an oblique workout, and today Mary’s Minute is here to show you all the variations!

Since Mother Nature has canceled our plans, we might as well put that extra time to good use. No excuses, folks! Your living room is officially your workout space. 💪😂

Give it a try, get those obliques working, and maybe convince the rest of the family to join in!

From all of us at Gordon Martial Arts, stay safe, stay dry, and stay moving! ❤️

GMA WEATHER CLOSURE NOTICE

The safety of our students, families, and staff will always be our first priority. With the approaching hurricane and the uncertainty surrounding weather conditions, Gordon Martial Arts will remain closed Thursday, October 8, through Saturday, October 10.

We want to give our staff and families the time they need to prepare, take care of their homes, and focus on keeping their loved ones safe without worrying about getting to class.

We will continue monitoring conditions and share any updates regarding our return to classes.

Please take this storm seriously, look out for one another, and stay safe. We look forward to seeing everyone back on the mats on Tuesday, October 13! ❤️🥋

New belts, new goals, same big smiles. 🥋❤️

A new training cycle is officially underway at GMA, and these little martial artists are already back on the mats putting in the work. Every class is another chance to learn, grow, build confidence and have a little fun along the way.

This is where it starts. One class at a time.

October’s challenge is here, and Mary is coming for your core!!

We talk a lot about stronger kicks, better balance and more control, but sometimes the work that makes those things possible happens behind the scenes.

This month we’re focusing on the obliques and how a stronger core carries over into what we do on the mat (and off the mat) every single day.

Read the October Oblique Challenge, give it a try, and stay tuned… Mary’s Minute Vlog will be back to walk you through some of these exercises and, knowing Mary, probably make them look much easier than they actually are. 😂

Who’s trying it with us?

Build core stability, improve balance, and generate more power in your kicks and punches with the October Oblique Challenge. Try these 6 simple exercises today!

Learning doesn’t always have to look like instruction.

For children, purposeful play provides opportunities to develop focus, coordination, problem-solving, self-control, and social skills while actively applying what they are learning.

At GMA, even the fun has a purpose.

They’re playing. They’re engaging. They’re learning. 🥋

New Jersey bound!

Safe travels to some of our GMA instructors as they head to New Jersey for the Hapkido Summit! They’ll spend the next few days training, learning, and continuing their education alongside martial artists from across the country.

One of the things we value most at GMA is that great instructors never stop being students. The knowledge they bring home helps all of us continue to grow.

And a HUGE thank you to the incredible staff holding down the fort back home and making sure classes and day-to-day operations keep moving without missing a beat. It truly takes a team, and we’re grateful for ours!

Safe travels, train hard, learn lots, and represent GMA well! 💪

Mrs. Herzog is putting our sparring class to WORK today!

Building skills, sharpening technique, and maybe sneaking in a little extra cardio while she’s at it. 😅

Keep working hard, GMA! 💪
