We accept cash, checks, money orders and we also offer an "EasyPay" payment plan that automatically deducts your monthly fee from your savings, credit card, or checking account.Do I need to be physically fit or need much coordination? You do not need to have an athletic background to join Karate. You will start your training at beginners level and progress from there.
Modern Arnis incorporates the use of single stick, double stick, knife and empty hand techniques. The Art of Modern Arnis was created from elements of both Filipino and non-Filipino fighting styles. Modern Arnis can be learned as its own style or can be easily incorporated into other martial arts styles.
Cromwell Martial Arts offers a weapons program consisting of forms and practice drills involving Bo Staff, Sai, Kama, Broadsword, Bokken, Nunchaku, and Arnis. The entire weapons program is currently only taught in private lessons although some forms are taught at advanced levels in the Kenpo curriculum.

I've been a Karateka at Cromwell Martial Arts since February 2021, and I have nothing but the highest of praise for it. From the moment you walk into the Dojo, you will automatically feel the positive energy as it presents itself as it gently grazes upon the soul. Everything about this Dojo is filled with strong positive energy, and taught by true at heart certified professional Instructors.
What's so great about Cromwell Martial Arts is that every Karateka is equally trained without any pressure, and that everyone works at their own comfortable speed, and level. From under such teachings and

I had never written a Google review before, but felt compelled to do so now. Sensei Frank Shekosky is such a pleasure to work with. Even if you are already training with a different martial arts school, reach out to Cromwell Martial Arts to learn more about Sensei Frank's seminars and the training DVDs offered by his school.

I’ve been training with Sensei for a collective 6 years. Having completed my Black Belt in Kobujutsu, I can say Sensei Frank Shekosky trains with outstanding professionalism. Cromwell Martial Arts has a fantastic program led by some truly talented athletes. I’m proud to have been its student for so many years, and would highly recommend this school for anyone who wants to enter the world of martial arts.

We have known and worked with Sensei Frank Shekosky for more than a decade now. He is one of the very few martial arts instructors with a lifetime of experience traveling the all over to both learn from and teach others.
