Golden Eagle Martial Arts was founded in January 1996 as Sensei Chris Malley began an affordable martial arts program through the Webster Parks and Recreation Department. The basic idea is that quality martial arts training does not have to be expensive and the whole family should feel welcomed.

American Freestyle Karate/Nemuru is taught and is based on the Japanese hard styles of Shukokai and Kyokushin. Aspects of many other styles are used to enhance the training and make it adaptable to the student. Those other styles include kung fu, aikido, judo, jujitsu, boxing, wrestling, tae kwon do, and others. The training includes conditioning, basic techniques, self defense, kata (forms), and kumite (sparring).

In addition to the physical aspects, the practitioner benefits from improvements in discipline, respect, confidence, and humility. These are characteristics that pour over into other areas of one's life.
