The Cobra & Butterfly Karate School

Dojo is open! Totally remodeled with automatic hand sanitizers and new flooring!!

I would like to introduce the following members of the NCMA Advisory Board: Tony Angelopoulos, Mickey Brock, Charles Duff, Lance Friend, Allan McKelvy, David Mi...zell, Kevin Morris, Dan Murrill, Evelyn Rosier and Anthony Williams. These individuals have had the honor of being Mr. Angel’s sounding board and advisors for many years. He had the confidence to leave his life’s work in our hands. We each possess a particular skill set that he nurtured to ensure that everything would be covered when he was no longer with us. We have all been with the NCMA since the beginning and will do everything in our power to live up to the confidence he has placed in us by keeping the NCMA and his vision alive in the coming years.

Imagination, learn to use your mind. Your mind will use you. Action follows our thoughts and images. Imagination is very important in training for martial artis...t. Mental toughness, act, work, developing good habits. Also, we must recall sights, sounds, and feelings of our best, performing days. In your minds eye, image your at your best everyday & today. The power of the Brain "Herbert Benson" a Harvard Cordiologist focus on breathing and repeating the word "one" lowered Blood pressure & lowered Heart rate. At this time we all are working on a stay at home order. The mental " way " is set back, relax, and work on your imagination. Because, "He/She who conquers oneself becomes the greatest warrior". I bid you all a great day. See more

Getting Great video's from our students. Anna and Kaywin's balance challenge was awesome! Next challenge, how many kicks can you do without dropping your foot!

Cobra & Butterfly Karate School Family As we patiently await to see what our future has in store concerning resuming classes and getting back to achieving our goals. I would like to see posts on our page of what our students are doing to help out home. To our young Karate students, Miss Meliss and I present you with a balance challange. Be creative. Who can stand on one leg the longest? ... REMEMBER- Bend your support knee and keep your back straight. Keep your hands up in cover up position with your weight on your toes. Private message me with your video so Miss Meliss and I can see who accepted the challange. We will announce the winner. To my advanced students- Your challange is kata Sanchin. REMEMBER- Sanchin emotion is one of unification. Attune the mind, body and breathing as one. The goal is to develop a strong mind and body by sinking energy down through your feet while pulling power up. Project power out through your hands while drawing energy in. Private message me with your video. We will start viewing video's Monday, March 30. We will do a weekly challange until we can resume our classes. If you private message us with your kata or weapons form video Miss Meliss and I will review it and respond with suggestions. With an abundance of personal time now is a great opportunity to improve and develop your karate. We are looking forward to seeing your videos.
