The San Jose facility is run by Eric Stieg, Director of the Christian Academy of Martial Arts. His background includes over 20 years in the martial arts, including a black belt in Tae Kwon Do (art of the hand and foot) and traditional Hapkido (art of coordinated power). He also overseas the west coast for the Shinsei Hapkido Federation, and was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame by the IIMAA for "Instructor of the year - 2009." Mr. Stieg's vision is to grow the ministry throughout Northern California by training the next generation of Christian martial arts instructors. The CAMA is continuing to grow outside of California, and is currently working with a few schools both inside and outside of California to become charter members. Mr. Stieg believes the future of this ministry lay with the current students willingness to carry it forward. His top priority is helping the students understand the Fruit of the Spirit, understanding the definition of Christ's meekness, and being a servant leader.
