I have 2 boys at Ninja Academy and cannot recommend it enough! Both boys were apprehensive to start a new after-care place. After their first day both were absolutely in love! They have stayed after camp for the evening classes and truly thrived! They even ask if they can go to Ninja Academy on weekends. Coach Jay is always out interacting with the kids and keeping them engaged. There is no laziness, boredom, bullying, disrespect, etc. These kids are all having fun but also showing respect and learning life skills like self defense. I truly am so grateful for Ninja Academy!

We absolutely love Ninja Academy! The facility is top-notch.. clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully set up for kids to learn, grow, and have a blast. Coach Jay is truly amazing! His energy, patience, and ability to connect with the kids is unmatched. Our son has learned so much in class, and we’ve been so impressed with his progress and confidence. He also lives for the Spring Break and Summer Camps that Coach Jay runs. Every day he comes home excited talking nonstop about the fun activities and awesome field trips they do. We’re so thankful to have found Ninja Academy.. it’s become one of our son’s favorite places!

I have been beyond pleased with Ninja Academy. Coach Jay is an outstanding teacher and role mode. He connects effortlessly with kids, making classes both educational and enjoyable. He is firm and teaches the kids in a fun and structured environment. Coach Jay instills discipline and respect in all students, fostering a positive environment. Since joining Ninja Academy, my child has grown more focused, confident, and respectful. Ninja Academy also fosters a strong sense of community, encouraging parental involvement and activities. My son's best friends are all from Ninja Academy. He has attended after care and has classes for almost 3 years now. Additionally, he loves day camp, summer camp, and looks forward to the Halloween event Coach Jay puts together every year. Ninja Academy, under Coach Jay's guidance, offers a supportive environment for kids to grow both physically and mentally. It has had a profoundly positive impact on my child, and I highly recommend it to parents seeking martial arts training that cultivates skills and character all while having fun!

My son and I were so excited to hear that Coach Jay was opening his own academy!! Of coarse we had to go check it out right away. Coach Jay's new academy is amazing! We signed up that day. My son absolutely loves going to class and I owe that all to Coach Jay and his wonderful teaching styles!! Coach Jay is amazing with the kids! All of us moms call him " The Kid Whisperer". He has many classes to fit anyone schedule. He will work with you! All you have to do is talk to him, and he will gladly try and help you out. We signed up for the after school program too. Helps a lot with my busy work schedule. Coach Jay treats all of his students and parents with the up most respect and he expects that in return. My son has grown, and learned so much from Coach Jay that I would ABSOLUTELY recommend his classes to any parent that is looking to start their child in a MMA class! You will not be disappointed!!
