Definitely one of the best martial arts studios in Lincoln. Not only do they help develop defensive skills and discipline, there community is also amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Not a place you want to send your autistic and special needs children to. Their staff clearly has no patience or respect to children who are on the spectrum wanting to learn. It’s hard enough for these children on the spectrum, and yet these “adults” make it worse for them but isolating them and treating them differently. Do better.

My autistic son and I had a terrible experience here. Even though Jason Swanson and I had spoken beforehand about his experience in training autistic kids, they showed my son VERY LITTLE patience, grace or understanding. After about only 10 minutes into the session, Jason was visibly annoyed due to my son’s difficulties following/performing specific tasks, he even went as far as to suggest isolating my son from the rest of the class as he believed my son was “causing a distraction”. They are not autism-friendly at all. I DO NOT recommend Swanson’s Martial Arts to any autism families.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our team at Custom Blinds & Design had the opportunity to attend a women's self-defense class at Swanson's Martial Arts, and it was fantastic! Nicole and Erin led the class and were absolutely outstanding. They brought great energy, deep expertise, and a passion for empowering women. We walked away with practical techniques and valuable mental strategies to help protect ourselves from potential threats. The class emphasized awareness, avoidance, and physical skills — all delivered in a way that was approachable, engaging, and empowering. Highly recommend this class for any individual or team looking to boost personal safety and confidence. Thank you, Nicole and Erin!

Started my 5yo daughter here a month ago! As someone who grew up doing all the sports I am SO appreciative of this environment - above and beyond. They are just the sweetest with the kids and are focused on instilling a love for the sport and just good values. Would recommend to anyone - I know they also do adult classes!
