Train with 4-Time World Champion Graciela Casillas and discover how defensive tactics build both physical ability and unshakeable mental strength.
"
"I know what it feels like to believe you are powerless and unworthy of greatness. I make a difference in people's lives by empowering them with skills, knowledge and training to defend themselves mentally, and physically. Because when you have all the right tools you can accomplish anything you want."
From Breaking Barriers to Building Champions
Master Graciela Casillas didn’t just win titles—she redefined what was possible. As a four-time World Champion and Hall of Fame inductee, she shattered barriers that once excluded women, becoming the first to hold simultaneous world titles in both boxing and kickboxing.
Her greatest legacy, however, isn’t in trophies. It’s in the lives she’s shaped over four decades of teaching. At Casillas Martial Arts, she carries forward that mission: transforming students of every age into stronger, more confident versions of themselves. Kids learn courage and respect, adults discover untapped strength, and seniors prove that age has no power over determination.
CMA isn’t just a dojo—it’s a place where people build physical skill, emotional resilience, and inner peace. The purpose is simple but powerful: help every student uncover the champion within.

Empowering the Fight Within
In the 70s and 80s, Graciela Casillas built an undefeated career—31 victories, 18 knockouts, no losses, despite restrictions that tried to hold women back. She fought through institutional ceilings, paving the way for future generations of athletes.
That same determination is the heartbeat of Casillas Martial Arts. The academy exists to show students that limits can be challenged, whether they come from outside expectations or from within. Every class is a chance to defy doubt, strengthen discipline, and grow in confidence.
True Strength Is Lifting Others Up
At CMA, martial arts is about much more than techniques. It’s about cultivating a mindset of resilience and respect. “The martial way is about developing an unshakeable core,” Casillas says. “When I teach, I’m not just showing defense—I’m showing students their own capacity for greatness.”
The mission is to lift others up. From the youngest student to the oldest and most advanced, CMA is designed to instill confidence, discipline, and self-respect. The dojo blends Grand Master Casillas’ championship training with her decades of teaching, mentorship, and counseling. It’s where lessons on the mat translate into life skills off it — building character and leaders, not just fighters.
