Founded in 2001 by chief instructors Mark and Anna Gorman, Mountain Eagle Karate Academy (MEKA) is an award-winning dojo located in Albuquerque’s NE Heights. MEKA is dedicated to helping students of all ages reach their full potential by improving their focus, self-confidence, and fitness, while also providing invaluable self-defense skills in a fun and supportive environment. Classes are designed to accommodate individuals of any skill or fitness level, making them accessible to everyone who wants to learn and grow through martial arts.

“We looked at five or six different martial arts schools when choosing a dojo for our son. Mark and Anna were clearly the best! Our son has studied with them since 2007. We have never regretted our decision. They have a truly amazing program for kids, teens, and adults. They are inspiring martial artists as well as excellent and caring instructors. They want you to learn and improve and enjoy yourself as you do so.”

Here are just a few of the many benefits of karate training:

Self-confidence

Karate training offers a multitude of benefits, including improved fitness, self-defense skills, goal-setting, focus, and teamwork. Developing these skills can help students build self-confidence and succeed in all aspects of their lives.

Ultimate Focus

Karate demands concentration and attention to detail, both of which are essential to mastering the art. The ability to achieve "Ultimate Focus," or the capacity to block out distractions and stay fully present in the moment, is a critical component of karate training. This skill can benefit people of all ages, enabling children to excel academically and adults to perform at their best in the workplace.

Fitness

Karate offers an enjoyable way to enhance one's fitness, as the movements practiced during training build both strength and cardiovascular endurance. Our students often find that the fun and engaging nature of our classes makes them forget that they are even exercising.

Community

In today's world, children may not be getting enough opportunities for social interaction. Martial arts training provides a unique opportunity for individuals to connect with one another through the shared experience of physical activity and discipline, creating lifelong friendships within our dojo community.

Self-defense

Karate teaches students effective self-defense techniques that become valuable tools in their martial arts "toolbox." We empower our students with confidence and abilities to navigate life's challenges, on and off the mat.

Fun!

We strive to create a fun, exciting, and engaging learning environment for our students. Our classes are designed to be high-energy, interactive, and supportive, ensuring that each session is a unique and rewarding experience.

“Mountain Eagle Karate Academy is absolutely the best karate school there is! Mark and Anna Gorman are sincerely dedicated to every one of its students to train not only in martial arts, but also to develop each one into a confident, kind, and respectful individual. If anyone is searching for a place to train and grow in karate, you won't find a better one!“

We have students of all ages and we use different teaching styles for the different groups. Our youngest students in the Tiny Eagles classes learn basic skills, like the importance of breathing properly, through homework assignments, games in class, and fun videos like this.
