Eastwind Martial Arts Academy
In 1988, the Eastwind Martial Arts Academy & Supply (EMAAS) was established in Merced, CA under the leadership of Glenn and Philomena Abrescy. The family operation has continued to serve the Central Valley from the same location for over 22 years.
Ranging from 3 years old and up, EMAAS aims to provide quality programs for children, adults, and families alike. Serving as the HQ for KSD, the academy strives to continually redefine and set the standards through excellent martial arts instruction, practice, and continued development. Akin to all other affiliates and associates, the EMAAS goal is continue to spread the art of Kemscrima-Doh. Find out more about the Eastwind Martial Arts Academy and what services they have to offer.
