Connelly's Academy of Martial Arts

Connelly’s Academy is a community-based organization with over 22 years of service to children, teens and adults. We partner with area schools and other community institutions to provide enjoyable training in traditional martial arts. Our emphasis is on mutual support, development of skills and personal growth. Benefits to students include improvements in fitness, self-confidence, character and leadership.

All classes are safe, challenging and guided by the traditional values of mutual respect and responsibility between students and instructors. Progression from beginner to advanced belt rank is based on improvement in specific skills and readiness to accept the responsibility that comes with rank — to be a leader to less advanced students. Earning a black belt from Connelly’s Academy reflects genuine, sustained accomplishment.

Our instructors are experienced martial arts educators. All are personally committed to providing each individual student with the guidance to overcome their challenges and accomplish their training goals. We have classes designed to serve people at all levels of ability, from accomplished athletes to physically challenged individuals. Our goal is for all of our students to succeed together.
