Master Castro instills confidence, discipline and respect in his students. We've been so pleased with our son's experience at his center.
Master Castro has been such a gift to our family! Our oldest son was a squirmy worm who couldn't pay attention to anything except Legos. He was kicked out of a daycare, and to boot, he couldn't hear due to an ear problem. Master Castro took him under his wing and transformed him into a chill guy who can handle his emotions well. Master Castro also was/is a role model for our youngest. As a teacher, I've had more than one student mention that Master Castro is the reason they didn't drop out of school. We are THRILLED that he is offering his services to a larger audience.
I am a past student of Jose Castro when he was at Athens YMCA. I returned to the Athens area and joined CMAC in June 2022. In one month’s time my health, spirit and confidence has been fully restored due to the unique training not to be found at any fitness center. CMAC is well known for offering children a path to deal with life in a challenging world. My message is there is much to offer for adults - CMAC currently has students as old as in their 70’s. (I am 63 by the way.)
The staff has always gone above and beyond to make our experience there too notch! We look forward to many years of training to come.

For those who are uninformed about Martial Arts, the black belt is the endgame; it is the elusive brass ring for which so many reach and few obtain. To be a black belt requires focus, discipline, commitment, and a host of other intense qualities. Once rank is attained, then a pinnacle is reached with nothing […]
On Saturday, May 21, 2022, seven warriors from CMAC arrived in Smyrna at the North Metro Martial Arts to display their mettle and to represent their school; they did both extremely well, being respectful and professional in every way while giving their best.

Parents think about the impact that they have on their children, the legacy that is left, the inheritance that is handed down. When Master Castro’s eldest son, Naaman, graduated from high school, decisions about his future were at the forefront of father/son conversations. After years of working as a caterer and teaching taekwondo at the local […]
Our son Jason had recently turned four when a friend of my wife suggested we look at martial arts and the classes being taught by a young instructor Jose Castro. He thought it would be a great activity. So he adventure began. Little did we realize at the time that this new venture would span […]
Last summer, we published a newsletter that highlighted families and events that are flourishing at CMAC.
