Mission Statement

“To promote and share the Chinese Martial Arts and martial culture with interested martial arts practitioners and the public through CACMA© group activities in the Carolinas region and beyond.”

About CACMA

CACMA was the brain child of Anthony Stephenson, Chris Facente, Eric Sbarge and Rick Panico. After meeting at Mint Hill Kung Fu School in Charlotte, NC, the four expressed there desire to unite the Kung Fu community in the Carolinas. These founding fathers of CACMA decided to create an organization that would cater to the traditional Chinese Martial Arts practitioners and provide a haven of friendship and knowledge exchange of all that were interested in Chinese Martial Arts.

“No style or government politics allowed!” should be one of CACMA’s bylaws.

So many times politics of governments and of Kung Fu organizations themselves lead to straying from the very reason most of these organizations were formed. That reason being to promote the Chinese Martial Arts and bring together its practitioners. CACMA wants to welcome and invite each and everyone of you to its association. There is a small yearly due to be paid as a school or individual member of CACMA. For more information on CACMA, you may contact us at cacma@bellsouth.net or sifuanthony@bellsouth.net
