Martial Arts Academy Of Southern Pines
At MAASPi, we understand that starting martial arts training can be a little intimidating so we strive to make everyone feel welcome in an environment where you can learn while having a lot of fun. In terms of his character and martial arts ability as a competitor and instructor, Roy is one of the best in the business.

He leads with honor and respect as a true martial artist. He inspires everyone around him including me. He is a great asset to our community! My name is Nicole Collins and I am the summer camp director at Episcopal Day school. We had the opportunity to witness an awesome presentation by your martial arts academy yesterday.

Ms. Cassandra is our Tiny Tigers Tae Kwon Do Instructor and is currently a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. Ms. Cassandra's class has lots of fun while learning the basic skills needed for Tae Kwon Do. They work on balance, listening skills, punching, kicking, improving motor skills and respect.
At MAASPi, we have a large number of Black Belts who help instruct so that every student gets as much attention as possible. We have a large number of black belt instructors who teach Tae Kwon Do at our Dojang. They are all trained in teaching Tae Kwon Do and have at least a 1st Dan Black Belt. These instructors regularly assist in teaching classes at our school and are overseen by Grandmaster Wyatt and Chief Master Dorton.
Created by Grandmaster John Pellegrini, Combat Hapkido has only one purpose - self-defense. It is an extremely realistic and versatile discipline of self-protection that includes an extensive variety of strikes, kicks, joint locks, pressure points, ground survival and disarming techniques. The result is a practical, comprehensive self-defense system that is enjoyable to learn and truly effective in realistic situations.
Jiu-Jitsu is recognized as one of the most effective forms of realistic self-defense ever developed. Jiu-Jitsu is the art that allows anyone to defend themselves regardless of size or strength. At Maaspi, we teach Jiu-Jitsu as a complete style which includes standing self-defense, striking, take-downs, groundwork and ethical instruction.

We love this place; our son has been attending here since he was five or six...he's 13th now. Primarily BJJ with Lee; however, aged out for the time being, now loves the MMA class led by Isaiah.

I take the adult MMA class. It’s a great cardio exercise and also gives me something to look forward to at the end of the day. The instructors are well qualified and very kind and very helpful in developing my skills. Everyone is very nice at the facility and everything is very fairly priced. Would definitely recommend anyone no matter your age or skill level to come and try it out.

GM Wyatt is a great teacher. I love her integrity, friendly, professional manner. She's efficient, gets her point acrossed without coming across demeaning or hurtful. She's awesome and both my kids love training and learning here.

We have had one of our children studying under Grand Master Wyatt and Master Dorton since 2007 and have loved it. GM Wyatt is very patient and absolutely loves working with children and it shows. Master Dan Dorton has taken this from a training in a small room to a training center for the kids. It is a wonderful place with wonderful people and I highly recommend you allow them to train your children.
