⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I continue to thoroughly enjoy my canne de combat and occasional savate and kali training at CAMA, as I have done for the past eight years. The canne and savate instructors are top-notch martial artists, we trainees receive personalized instruction that is appropriate for our skills level and allows rapid development, and everybody at the club is welcoming and helpful. I have gone from clumsy to coordinated and lazy to training enthusiast whilst training at CAMA, and made some great friends too. I also appreciate how organized Ollie is in setting up and communicating training schedules.

I joined the academy about two months ago and I have really enjoyed the experience. Ollie is very knowledgeable and skilled, as is Morgan (instructors). It is a great learning environment with a good balance between the trainings being demanding and fun. It’s a great choice whether you are beginner or advanced, as you’ll have the unique opportunity to train with all levels, even world champions.

My daughter loves the savate classes. I think she's getting fitter and faster. Morgan and Ollie are great teachers. I can't recommend it more if you're after an active hour, which cultivates listening, working in pairs, better personal performance.
