25th year teaching in Cassville
You know the building. You don't know who's inside.
From the sidewalk, you can't tell who teaches, what a class is like, or how a new kid starts.
You've signed your kid up for things before. Eight weeks of one thing. A summer of another. Then the gear goes in the closet and you start over.
You're not shopping for the next eight weeks. You're looking for the thing your kid is still doing years from now.
Parents who call the school ask for the same things: structure, discipline, exercise, confidence, and a way for their kid to defend themselves.
A Cassville school since 2001
Students have trained at Modern Martial Arts Academy since 2001. Ernest Freeman owns the school and teaches Taijutsu and jiu jitsu. Here's what three reviewers wrote on Google, word for word.
"The people were so friendly and inviting from the very first day I started class! Ernest Freeman truly cares for his students and meets them where they are at to help achieve their goals."
"Ernest is a great instructor. Very humble and treats all students and guest as if they were family. Kickboxing and jiu jitsu classes are challenging, but fun and beneficial for self defense and fitness for me."
"We've been going for years."
