Greatmats Accommodate Stand Up, Falling, Throwing and Rolling at EWM Hapkido Academy

PAPILLION, Neb., December 11, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Having studied everything from karate to kung fu, taekwondo to hapkido, Mr. Emery McClendon II has earned his way to a fourth dan in hapkido - under the lineage of Master Anthony New (Seventh Dan) and United States Korean Martial Arts Federation President Grand Master J. R. West (Ninth Dan). He is now Master Instructor at EWM Hapkido Academy in Papillion, Nebraska, and does all of the training at his school on Greatmats martial arts mats.

“At our school, everything we teach is reality-based,” Mr. McClendon says. “We work very hard to ensure that any situation you might encounter is covered in the classroom under very safe learning conditions, so you will be prepared.”

After moving out of a rented space and opening his school in February of 2019, Mr. McClendon’s student base grew to 38 students, which he splits into three different age groups - Little Tigers (ages 4-6), Child (ages 7-12) and Teen/Adult (ages 13 and older). He’s built a reputation for being great with kids and offering monthly women’s self-defense classes.

When looking for mats for his new dojang, Mr. McClendon relied heavily on customer reviews and found Greatmats’ 1.5-inch thick Grappling MMA mats.

“I was looking for something that had great reviews, can stand up to the falling and throwing we do here, along with the rolls, etc., that did not burn our feet,” he said. “Once I got the sample, I loved the quality, the color options, and the customer service was outstanding!”

Now that he’s had several months to use them, he says, “I love them. I get nothing but great feedback and compliments from my students.”

“I enjoy every item I have gotten from this company,” he added. “I recommend them without question and will be ordering from them again and again!”
