I have two young girls and started taking them here a little over year ago. Best decision I have made for them yet. I initially started them because I was having trouble with ones behavior and the other one was being bullied. They have come a very long way and I am so grateful to the instructors, Mr. Mike and Mr. Christian.

I am so impressed by how Master Lacey has adapted his training program. In light of the current pandemic, he has put his school online via Zoom and has kept all of us on our toes. His personal style truly comes through with the interactive application. While we miss going to the classes in person, knowing that we can still train with our classmates via the web helps us to maintain a sense of normalcy and continuance. I strongly recommend National Martial Arts to anyone wishing to improve themself ... Body, mind and spirit.

My sons love going to their lessons-they learn so much while having a blast! I can see each day that they are building their self-confidence and skills. The teachers are patient, firm, and excellent with kids. I can’t recommend enough. Such a positive atmosphere and worthwhile experience for children! Thanks to Christian and the other incredible instructors (Master McGuire and Mike).

We looked at several places to take our 8 year old daughter who already had about 3 years of martial arts training. The owner and other coaches at NMA have been really great so far. We’ve been coming for a month now and our daughter loves it. We feel like we made an excellent choice. Would highly recommend!!
UPDATE: It’s been a few months now and we still feel the same about National Martial Arts. Our daughter still loves this place too!

National Martial Arts is an excellent school for a variety of martial arts and self-defense disciplines. I have been training Jiu Jitsu here for 6 months and have enjoyed the high level technical instruction combined with a challenging yet comfortable learning environment. Master Lacey is an experienced instructor with a legitimate training background and is quick to pass on his knowledge. He gets to know each student on an individual level and no one ever feels left out in a class. I have found that everyone who trains here is welcoming and focused on helping each other sharpen their skills. I

My daughter just started training with Master Lacey recently. She loves going to her classes and I really enjoy watching her learn and do such a great job. The classes are great and instructors are even better. She gets the one on one attention she needs. I really appreciate them working with my schedule also if something does not work they are willing to make it work. I look forward to watching my daughter grow, and am very proud to be a part of such a great team! Go NMA!!!

National Martial Arts run by Master Lacey is a fantastic way to enrich your kids or even yourself with martial arts skills that will last a lifetime. It is a fun, social environment that the kids really seem to enjoy. Master Lacey and his instructors are extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. My 17 yr old was a student of his years ago and it has taught him self respect, discipline and confidence. Now our 8yr old is enrolled and really loves it. National Martial Arts is highly recommended for everyone of all ages.
