Shihandai 'Femi Johnson
5th-Degree Black Belt · Chief Instructor · 35+ Years
Holding multiple black belts across Karate, Aikido, Jiujutsu, Kobudo, Tong-Il Moo-Do and Self-Defense, Shihandai Johnson has dedicated over three decades to the study and teaching of classical martial arts in Nigeria. Under his leadership, CMA has grown into a comprehensive martial arts institution serving Abuja with structured programmes for all ages and skill levels.

Martial arts is not about brute strength; it is about absolute economy of motion, structural alignment, and mental tranquility under pressure. When you master your own balance across multiple disciplines, you master any conflict before it begins.
Sensei Richqrd
3rd Dan Shotokan Karate · Aikido · Tai Chi & Jiujutsu

Consistency and clean fundamentals build unbreakable champions. We do not just teach punches and kicks—we build character, unwavering resilience, and high self-belief in every student who steps onto our tatami.
Sensei Nasir Lawal
3rd Dan · Shotokan Karate
Children thrive when given structured boundaries, authentic discipline, and genuine encouragement. In our youth dojo, every technique learned is a fundamental stepping stone toward life-long confidence, focus, and mutual respect.
Senpai Patience Tukura
2nd Dan · Shotokan Karate & Children's Programme
True budo endurance is forged when mind, body, and breath unite. Through targeted conditioning, stamina work, and core development, we train every physical function in your body for peak martial power and recovery.
Senpai Lucy Ojobo
2nd Dan · Shotokan Karate

Breath is the origin of martial power. By integrating mindful alignment and meditative focus with dynamic karate kata, practitioners learn to move with fluid strength, grace, and unwavering internal calm.
Senpai Mfonobong Amos
1st Dan · Shotokan Karate

Adaptive self-defense requires a seamless transition between striking at range and controlling on the ground. We train practitioners to remain calm, analytical, and decisive in any unpredictable real-world scenario.
Senpai Benjamin Joseph
5th Kyu · Shotokan Karate & Jiu-Jitsu

Every martial artist was once a beginner who refused to quit. In our foundational training, we nurture patience, technical precision, and the joyful spirit of martial discovery from the very first lesson.
