Global Martial Arts was founded on the development of mind, body and spirit through training in the most functional martial arts from around the globe. As we gain an understanding of different Martial Arts systems we will learn to appreciate their culture respectively. This learning process allows us to embrace techniques that work for each individual differently.
Our Founder and Master Instructor Mateo De Los Reyes has dedicated the last 30 years of his life training and developing our training programs from the following systems: Tae Kwon Do (Black Belt) under 9th Dan Master Chan Hak Park, Thai Boxing/Muay Thai (Full Instructor) under Ajarn Surachai Sirisute, Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipino Martial Arts (Senior Associate) under Magulang na Guro Dan Inosanto, Combat Submission Wrestling CSW (Full Instructor+Mid-Atlantic Headquarters) under UFC and Pride Coach Sensei Erik Paulson and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (Black Belt) under Master Royler Gracie and Professor David Adiv from the RGDA (Royler Gracie-David Adiv) Association.
