UPDATE - LMA closed its original location in October 2022 as Sifu Deily was hired full-time as the Motorcycle Safety Ambassador by Edgar Snyder & Associates. Sifu Deily created Snyder's Riders in 2015 to help riders stay safe, enhance their motorcycle experience and have the firm of Edgar Snyder be there for riders and their families during their time of greatest need. Due to his extensive and var
ied schedule, Sifu came to the difficult decision to close the Academy being unable to offer a regular class schedule. He likewise had to say goodbye to his 35 year teaching career at the CCAC / Community College of Allegheny County where he taught credit classes in Self-Defense, Aerobic Kickboxing and Physical Conditioning. Sifu's teaching life originally began with a non-credit class at the college back in 1987 with many of the LMA black belts having begun their training in those classes. Sifu Deily continues to pursue his passion of the martial arts and the legacy of Lathen Martial Arts via private lessons, seminars, on-line instruction and small group sessions.
