History

Cappa Martial Arts was established in 1980 by founder Armando Cappa, who holds the rank of 7th Dan (7th degree black belt) in Kyokushin Karate and the title of Kyoshi. He began his martial arts training in 1968 and continues teaching because he enjoys watching his students develop their skills and gain confidence. Kyoshi Cappa is also experienced in Judo, Thai chi, Kung Fu, and has extensive knowledge of anatomy (circulatory system and cardio vascular system) and holds a N.A. degree in acupuncture which he received in Mainland China.
