A Legacy of Discipline & Excellence

Founded in 1988 by Roland S. Roemer, the Colorado Academy of Martial Arts trains adults and children in a comprehensive martial arts system derived from the careful blending of Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and Indonesian martial arts.

For over forty years, CAMA teachers have used a unique, trans-Pacific approach utilizing age-old martial principles in concert with a more Western system of codification and presentation. This system prepares students physically as well as psychologically and emotionally for whatever challenges they may face in life.

Roland has been teaching since 1967, including 14 years of public school teaching experience. He holds advanced degrees and teacher accreditation in eight martial arts systems, along with a Master of Arts degree in Education.

“Conduct yourself as a warrior and a scholar, the world will provide you with everything you need.”

— Roland S. Roemer, Founder

What Our Students Say

“I don't even know if I can adequately describe the full value of being a student at CAMA. When I initially decided to learn a martial art, it was to learn to defend myself. I wanted a place based on quality, and unfortunately, found many schools to be a bit too commercialized. Then I happened upon CAMA. It was apparent right from the start that this is a true teaching academy. There's a certain sacredness for me about entering the dojo. CAMA doesn't just teach techniques. It incorporates mind, body, and soul, and not a class goes by where I'm not challenged. There are endless opportunities to develop character, self-confidence, humility, wisdom, balance, awareness, respect, and the list goes on. Being a student here is priceless.”

— Monica, adult student

“It's a real family feel at CAMA. We all want to see each other succeed. It doesn't matter if you've been there two days, two months, or seventeen years. As a police officer, I have used the martial arts skills I have learned several times to de-escalate dangerous situations. One of the basic tenets of the school is to use no more force than necessary. You are not anticipating the movement, but you are prepared for it. I use that every day at work.”

— Jason, parent and student

“Having started my training 17 years ago at an elite Taekwondo School that focused on Olympic Style Sparring, I was looking to broaden my knowledge in the art of Jujutsu. I have found another elite school in CAMA. Their instruction is superior. Instructors are knowledgeable with many years of experience and their system is well thought out. This system is also very versatile — I love the idea of being able to use this system with empty hands, sticks or knives.”

— Mark, adult student

“I love jujutsu! I'm never signing out of this place!”

— Peyton, age 6
