About Us

American College of Martial Arts (ACMA) has been serving the West Palm Beach community for years with one clear mission: to help kids, teens, and adults build confidence, discipline, and real-world self-defense skills.

Led by Master Chip Lutz, a 6th-degree black belt, ACMA offers more than just martial arts classes — it’s a place where students grow stronger, think sharper, and feel safer. Every class is designed to be beginner-friendly, practical, and supportive, whether your goal is fitness, self-protection, or personal growth.

Our Promise: You’ll leave every class with more confidence than when you walked in.
