Welcome
to the PennMar Martial Arts Academy. My name is Tim Goonan and I am the
head instructor and owner. You've just taken the first step on the
road to gaining many powerful life-skills such as:Physical Fitness, Increased Confidence and Self-Esteem, Self-Defense, Flexibility, Weight Loss, Increased Awareness and Focus all while Looking & Feeling Younger!
With well over 100 years of collective teaching experience in the ancient art of HapKiDo, our instructors provide a well-rounded course of instruction in traditional martial arts with a focus on improving the overall being rather than teaching someone "how to fight." In truth we teach our students "how not to fight." Our course of study includes stretching exercises, a proven aid in long-term health maintenance, self-defense - including kicking, punching, joint locks, pressure points, grappling, and more.
What does this all mean to you?
Our training is perfect for Men, Women and Children starting as young as four, years old on up to adults who are well into their 60's. Over the years my students have come to me and told me "it is not just a martial art - it is a life skill institute." What they like most about us is we blend the traditions, history and physical lessons of the past with modern concepts and principles of the future. We are a Family Martial Art Center - where the past meets the present to give our students a Life - Skill unmatched anywhere else in our area.
"It is not what you are that holds you back; it's what you think you are not."
