I absolutely LOVE being a part of NAK Martial Arts Center family. I started at the end of May 2025. My friend had been coming here for a long time and she encouraged me to come try the kickboxing class for a free trial week. I wanted a workout, but I was a little timid to come to the class since I didnt have any martial arts experience and was out of shape. I'm so thankful that I didn't let that stop me. Everyone at NAK greets each other with fist bumps and I immediately felt like I belonged. Professor Sal, Professor Louis and Andrea are super helpful, friendly and definitely care about people. I didn't and still don't feel any judgement from any of the instructors or its members. It feels absolutely amazing to be part of this team. I have seen SO much growth in myself in the last 3 months. It's an overall full body workout that you can modify and take at your own pace. (We have people 77 years young and others with knee and hip replacements.) This class has helped me become more flexible and my joints feel better. Most importantly though, is that I feel more confident and have more mental clarity. This class isn't just a workout. It prepares you for the real world and how to protect yourself and your family. I owe NAK Martials Art for providing me with constant encouragement, a growing knowledge of self defense, and a full body strengthening class. I don't know how I ever surived without you guys being a part of my life. I LOVE MY NAK FAMILY and I hope whoever is reading this comes by to try out this amazing place. I look forward to seeing you in a kickboxing class! (Or if you want to try one of their other programs, that would be awesome too!!! Don't miss out and come stop by!) :-)
I've been there for over 20 years, and NAK has always been a staple in my life since then. You gain health, confidence, great attitude, and best of all, life lessons. Grandmaster Sal and Grandmaster Louis not only teach you self-defense, but they teach honesty, courage, respect, confidence, and goal setting. The dojo is a family friendly place, and many students have become lifelong friends. I would recommend this dojo to everyone.
I cannot express enough of the positive development I have witnessed from Grand Master Sal and Grand Master Louis. Everything is offered to include traditional Kajukenbo, Kick boxing, grappling, kids anti bullying and women's self defense. The best part about it is that the respect and practical self defense taught is shared by Grand Masters!!! I am a loyal student but more importantly I am a part of a family. You could be too! Check them out.
My daughter took 1st place in her first tournament! I couldn’t be prouder! She put in the hard work but NAK guided and trained her to be able to accomplish this! She has grown in more ways than just her physical skills and everyone here has become like family!
We all have coaches in our life of one sort or another but none ever that can compare and truly help your character and values in the way that martial arts can and does. Professor Sal and his family of instructors have been a part of our life for 6 yrs now and has not only made a difference in my life as an adult but in my 10 yr old son's as well. Respect, Self Control, Honesty, Courage, Loyalty, and Integrity is what we all want for ourself and our children and everything they teach here. No other sport will do what this will do for your children. Thank you NAK family for all that you do!
