What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Elizabeth Newton
"I first started going to this gym many many years ago but moved away for a while. When we moved back to the Conway area my children started going to the gym. We all love this gym. Everyone feels like family. All of the instructors are helpful and truly care about the kids/students. They make sure everyone understands what is taught. My kids love the gym and have fun while learning skills in self defense. I would highly recommend this gym to everyone."
Yogeeta Patel-Larmore
"My son first started BJJ in 2017. Then COVID happened and we ended up training virtually with the coaches and have not started back in person due to time constraints. However, we are excited about the new location opening up soon, and plan on starting back! In the 4+ years with the coaches, I can honestly say that they helped build up Logan's confidence. He learned self-discipline, and the meaning of inner strength. Logan also made some amazing friends that we still keep in touch with. If you are thinking of joining, I would not hesitate. We've had the most amazing experience with all of the coaches, and cannot wait to rejoin."
Naomi Dean
"I highly recommend 501 Martial Arts in Conway! My son has been attending for almost 2 years and loves it! The coaches are very good with the kids in building confidence and reaching personal goals. Whether it’s fitness, learning self defense or wanting to compete in martial arts, this gym does it all! We gladly travel 2 hours round trip for our son to attend this gym . They really care about each of their students!"
Hailey Garner
"The coaches and students at 501 Martial Arts are all respectful and supportive. They've made me feel welcome since day one. Whether you have zero experience or are more advanced, they’re patient and take the time to teach you everything you need to know. From beginners to advanced belts, everyone has the opportunity to learn and practice something new. If you’re looking for a positive environment with knowledgeable coaches, I highly recommend giving them a try."
