“I have been bringing my insane, don't listen, bad attitude kids to Coach Tron for Muay Thai for over 2yr now. He has been the only coach who has been able to keep them in line while having the patience of a Saint without taking a kneecap out or teeping a chest cavity in. My oldest now double teams doing jujitsu class for an hour with Coach Mike before going to Muay Thai with Coach Tron. My youngest now stays for both kids and adult class to help her get more training in for when she competes in Muay Thai competitions. She started with Coach Tron when she was a wild'n out 5yr old. He has molded her into a machine who looks forward to his class and helps teach her how to be able to keep her add in line and focus during the day while in school class. If you're looking for an outlet for you kids or even your own self, I highly recommend New World Academy and what all they offer.”

“This is a great place to train. Michael Bejoc is the instructor and he is one of the coolest people I have ever met. He is technically sound and has a great teaching style. He is warm and friendly and an all around good guy. He is very open about his life and his training which endears you immediately to him. On the mats he is a monster and has some great techniques to pass along. He has a great group of students that are are helpful and friendly and they all create a family atmosphere that makes you feel nothing but welcome. It is a great jewel of a school tucked away on Warrick Blvd. Michael is the man!”

“I had been looking for somewhere to get into combat sports I could share with my 2 young boys for years to at least learn defensive techniques and a different approach to discipline. Professor Mike and so many others have made this possible through new world academy. I have changed my life and made the lives of my children better and stronger by investing in new world academy and receiving the expertise that professor Mike has poured into our experience and learning. The atmosphere is easy going and the relationships relaxed. While I haven’t been to other academies, the experiences I’ve had with New World Academy lead me to believe there’s nowhere better to invest yourselves and your loved ones into changing your lives for the better. Thank you to Professor Mike, Professors Albert and Kru, and the rest of my team for all that you are and do, always. Oss.”

“Professor Mike is a true master of the art and most important, a great guy. I recommend dropping by to see for yourself how great the school is. There’s plenty of parking, restaurants, and snack places to go to after practice, and a really relaxing town square where they have free concerts on Wednesday evenings. If you are looking to learn real skills from one of the best, look no further than New World Academy.”
