OUR STORY
South Carolina Martial Arts (“SCMA”) was founded to provide high quality martial arts training for its membership in a traditional, less-commercial atmosphere. Having recently rekindled his passion for martial arts, our founder created SCMA as an innovative and tasteful model for martial arts to be practiced and passed on.
After moving to Bluffton, SC, our founder observed the area's several schools focused on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu; however, limited options existed for other martial arts. SC Martial Arts is designed to offer an option for practitioners of traditional Asian and Western martial arts, who are open to training with like-minded individuals in small group settings.
Our founder started martial arts training at the age of five and diligently trained and taught martial arts for over fifteen years, serving for several years as a head instructor for both children and adults of all experience levels. He holds black belts in a hybrid style of Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido, and trained in several other styles originating from both Japanese and Chinese schools.
Fundamental aspects of martial arts training have several elements that are generally common among traditional styles. Flexibility, coordination, conditioning, and basic strikes are training fundamentals that are enhanced in a group setting. Focus, humility, and discipline are also universally emphasized aspects of most arts and articulated in a group setting.
