Syllabus of Programs of McCoy's Action Karate


A biography of McCoy's Action Karate and its owners

McCoy's Action Karate was founded October 1994 in Auburn MA. By October 1995 McCoy's Action Karate qualified for and was awarded the distinction of becoming a Black Belt School's International certified school. Black Belt Schools International is headquartered in Coral Springs Fl, www.unitedprofessionals.com. In 2000 McCoy's Action Karate opened its second school in Spencer MA.

In1996 Paul McCoy was awarded Black Belt Schools International's "Man of the Year," and served 1 year on its board of directors.

In 1998 McCoy's Action Karate qualified for and was awarded membership in BBSI's Gold Club, for excellence in student service and has maintained that distinction since that date. In 2002 McCoy's Action Karate qualified for, and awarded BBSI's Platinum Club membership for superior student service and is still a member.

The school owners are Anne and Paul McCoy, who are both Master Black Belt instructors, certified by the Cheezic Federation of Tang Soo Do, and are both BBSI certified instructors as well.

McCoy's Action Karate's curriculum is developed for each age group; 2-4, 5 - 7, 8 - 11, 12 - 17, 17 and up, with learning and physical abilities accounted for. 100% of their staff is professional trained and paid, an oddity in the martial arts world.

McCoy's Action Karate has developed its own system for insuring the learning of the mental and physical benefits most karate schools claim, but few achieve. The program is called STARS, and is an interactive learning tool used monthly with their parents at home to insure that their children students have experienced the monthly mental lessons.

McCoy's Action Karate has also developed a unique system for ensuring success in promotion to black belt. Most karate schools are averaging 1 out of 1000 who start, while MAK is a little better than 1 out of 10.

2000 - McCoy's Action Karate has also developed its own version of BBSI Kids Smart program, used by permission, to take a proactive stance on preventing child abduction, as well as helping in the recovery process. The program is called stranger danger, and is taught to all of the schools first year students, as well as in FREE seminars to the public. They have taught it to many Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, schools, camps and many other children organizations.

2002 - McCoy's Action Karate added Self Defense to its programs to teach Self Defense to those who did not want traditional karate.

In September of 2003, in response to local needs, McCoy's Action Karate added a women's only self defense program. The program  is a 8 week course, taught 4 times a year. The Co-ed version, taught continuously, is the Self Defense program.

In October 2005 McCoy's Action Karate added Kickboxing CDF (Cardio- Defense-Fitness). MAK designed this program to emulate training in Kickboxing for its fitness and defense capabilities without any of the risks of fighting. The class is ONE OF A KIND and has a waiting list to attend.
