We are now offering a Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program at Monroe County Martial Arts.

Mick Williams is a blue belt in BJJ and a member of MCMA for almost 18 years. Mick has extensive instructor experience and is the instructor for the adult BJJ program currently taught at the Meltdown Center. Kids BJJ will focus on teaching the principles of BJJ in a fun and interesting way while in a safe environment. Kids will get training in an art that focuses on ground grappling and self-defense that compliments their TKD training. The uniform will be TKD uniform bottoms and a t-shirt. Later kids will have an opportunity to purchase Judo and Jiu-jitsu gis if they wish.

Note to Parents
Please pull in to a parking space when dropping off or picking up your child. We have had some traffic jams in the parking lot recently that were caused by parents sitting in their cars (facing north/south) out front. Remember that in addition to MCMA, there are many parents and children trying to get in and out of Learning Treasures and the 2 dance studios in the courtyard. Let's keep the parking lot a safe and convenient place for everyone.

A Progressive School For The 21st Century...
Monroe County Martial Arts (MCMA) offers more styles of martial arts than any other program in the area and is recognized as the leader in martial arts. In addition to the Korean art of Tae Kwon Do, MCMA has top notch instructors in a variety of systems from around the globe. We offer ten different martial arts.
Because of this progressive and open minded attitude towards training, our school is recognized as a leader in the martial arts community. Monroe County Martial Arts was founded in 1991 by newlyweds Steve and Linda Scott. Their goal was to provide Monroe County with fun, safe, and practical martial arts instruction for people from all walks of life.
Starting in a small studio with less than a dozen students, the Scotts quickly built their program. Outgrowing their original location, they moved MCMA to its present location in Williamsburg Village, just north of the College Mall.
MCMA has been featured locally on radio, television, and in newspapers. In October of 1993, Black Belt magazine named MCMA "School of the Month" in recognition of the school's achievements. In addition, many of MCMA's students and instructors have been recognized at the state and national level for their excellence in martial arts.
About Your Chief Instructor
Steve Scott began his martial arts training in Hawaii in 1973, eventually earning his black belt in Tae Kwon Do from Grand Master Duke Lee in 1978. He was awarded his black belt in Hapkido in 1986, and his black belt in Modern Arnis from Grand Master Remy Presas in 1995.
Mr. Scott has taught martial arts for several schools and clubs during his many years as a Bloomington resident. He also taught Tae Kwon Do and close combat tactics when he was an infantry officer in the Marine Corps.
Mr. Scott has made martial arts his sole profession. He is available and visible in the studio. He teaches at least one class each day and makes it a point to know every student. In addition to his role at MCMA, Mr. Scott is the martial arts director for the Monroe County YMCA where he and several other MCMA black belts teach classes. He is also the instructor for the Banneker Community Center's martial arts program for children.
