It is our firm belief that every style of martial art brings forth great value to its practitioners. With this in mind, we have taken the best martial art & karate techniques and have combined these into one uniform system which will prepare our student's for any type of real life self defense situation.
At Wilmington's Coastal Martial Arts, we have a systematic and scientific approach to our philosophy and teaching. Martial Arts is a much deeper study than simply punching, kicking, throwing, choking or any other individual technique or style. Martial Arts is the life process of continuous education of the mind, body and spirit.

Hands down the best Martial Arts place in town and probably the country. We feel really lucky to have found Grand Master Richardson and Mister Ryan. These guys are not just great martial artists, they both are extraordinary men that posses the ability to teach, communicate, and support the learning process of the students.
My kid is 4yrs old and attends that class group. We look forward to seeing him grow within this establishment and thriving like we see the older more experienced students. We hold deep admiration to you both for the amount of patience and dedication it take to lead these kids

My 7 year old son has been taking classes at this dojo for awhile now. We are grateful for the expertise and passion the team at CMAA brings to the classes. I never thought that my son would gain the amount of discipline that he has gained from attending. I think the martial arts may be part of it, but I attribute most of it to the skilled instructors!

We have been attending Coastal Martial Arts Academy as a family for about 2 years now, and we love it! My daughter instantly fell in love with the Little Dragons class for youngsters when she was 5. Master Harris and Master Richardson are amazing with the kids! Kids love them, and it is obvious that they love to teach. My daughter loved the tumbling and forms lessons, as well as learning the basic self defense moves and the fitness activities involved. She has progressed to a green belt and has had lots of fun competing in tournaments. Joining CMAA has inspired our whole family to adopt a lifestyle

Master Ron Harris is a man of moral, integrity, and tradition. He is committed to training his students to be outstanding... and not simply physically. While other programs focus on flash and bang, Master Ron and his associated prefer to focus on tradition, respect, and true leadership.
If you are looking for your kids to have crazy colored hair, flipping and flopping, and screaming like a banshee, Master Ron may not be the instructor for you.
If, however, you are looking for an environment of respect and camaraderie, you may want to consider checking out CMAA to see if Master Ron's program is

Our daughter has been attending Coastal Martial Arts Academy almost a year and a half. We are impressed with how Master Ron Harris structures the program to encourage the children to participate and have fun at the same time as learning Martial Science. He always treats each and every child as if they were his own. Emily absolutely LOVES attending and learning every aspect of Martial Science. She has improved in many areas, including discipline, focus and she has a better sense of achievement. Her confidence level has sky rocketed as well.

My daughter has been attending Coastal Martial Arts Academy for over 8 months now and she LOVES it! We observed 2 other schools before going to CMAA and we're so glad we found them! Master Burnie and Master Ron have that perfect balance of teaching them what they need to know while having fun which makes the kids want to come back again and again. I love that my daughter has a safe, family oriented place to go where the instructors care about her and push her to do her best. I highly recommend Coastal Martial Arts Academy for the whole family!

My son began martial arts classes at Coastal Martial Arts Academy when he was 3. He is now 4. Within the year he has developed the ability to show respect to adults and other children, follow both simple and complex instructions, memorize a series of gross motor skills related to martial arts, perform various skills when called out by the instructor, has the opportunity to lead the class with universal commands, and experience socialization. He has completely transformed into a polite young man due to the repetitious disciplines that his instructors engrave into their character.

Words cannot express how wonderful this school is. I found this school when I was simply looking for a summer camp for my 6 yr old son. I just had a newborn baby and I really wanted my 6 yr old out and about all summer rather than being stuck at home with a newborn baby and nothing to do. The problem was that all the summer camps that I found were too expensive for me. One day, I opened my door and there was a CMAA flier on the door knob. CMAA Summer camp was something I actually could afford! So I contacted Master Ron Harris and he was available to meet with me and my son in person on that same

I have been blessed to meet a group of very well disciplined individuals. I have been studying Martial Science, with Master Burnie Richardson For 3 months now, and because of that I have been able to improve mentally ,physically and spiritually. When I first showed up for class, I was walking wit a cane because of my back problems, but now I don't need my cane and it is because of my masters help. Master Richardson Takes his time to understand the needs of each of his students. He helps us understand ourselves so this way we can strengthen in areas we are weak. Because of that I am a better man
