The Academy Announces a Special Event for the Fall!

Enjoy a Week of Free Open Classes Starting November 10, 2025

Manchester, CT — The Academy of Martial Arts & Personal Development is excited to announce a Week of Free Open Classes, running from November 10 to November 16, 2025. The community is invited to experience any of The Academy’s programs free of charge and discover a fun, engaging way to exercise, get healthy, meet new people, and learn self-defense.

The Academy offers programs for everyone! From Cardio Kickboxing, where you’ll burn calories and boost your energy, to Jedi Warrior Training, where you’ll wield lightsabers, leap to new heights (off a trampoline!), and learn basic self-defense skills. The Academy also offers traditional martial arts programs such as Gentle Do Tai Chi and Aikido, which focus on balance, harmony, and practical defense, as well as the flagship system Daehanmoodo, a complete martial art emphasizing empowerment, defense, and physical fitness.
“We’re thrilled to open our doors to the community and invite everyone to experience what The Academy is all about,” said Grandmaster Joel Waldron, founder of The Academy. “Our mission is to provide fitness, empowerment, defense, and FUN for people of all ages. This is the perfect opportunity to try something new this fall!”
