I've trained martial arts at several places, but NAK2 Academy is where I truly feel the happiest. Unlike other gyms where I felt obligated to attend just because I paid, here, I genuinely look forward to every class. Barry and the team have created a professional yet welcoming environment that makes training both enjoyable and rewarding. The instruction is top-notch, and I leave every session having learned something new. Highly recommend!

Fantastic gym! Everyone is incredibly welcoming, Barry and Jen (the owners) have built a special community with a family-business vibe. 5/5 stars from me - highly recommended! I wish I had joined sooner!

Our son has been taking Gracie bulletproof classes with NAK2 for 2 years now and we are very pleased with the coaches’ engagement in class and method of delivery- serious but they keep it fun and lighthearted. I recently began taking the women empowered classes to improve my skill and confidence in self-defense knowing I have a family to protect in any situation. After each class I’m both mind-blown that more women don’t learn these important skills but also amazed at how simple some of the moves can be when you understand them. After each class, I leave more confident knowing that if I was ever in a situation where self-defense was needed, I am more equipped to hold my own.

What a great gym! I was in town on business and thought I would visit. As a Gracie University student, I have reciprocal privileges at all Certified Training Centers. Barry, Jen and their entire staff (Andrew & Justin!) were warm and welcoming from the moment I entered. And then for mat time, Barry was gracious to work with me, doing some 1-1 Master Cycle training. How cool to roll with a Gracie Black Belt! I was able to watch them work with their kids class and they did a masterful job. Even the parents paid attention! If you're looking for a martial arts gym, look no further. NAK2 Academy is a gem!

Coach Barry, Jen, Anthony, and the rest of the members of this gym have changed my life around. The coaches have tough love, they make sure to push you to excel but also slow things down to help you learn. All the members of the gym are super friendly and encouraging to each other.
