What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
NYMAG Naples
"Hands down the best place to train in the area! They will welcome you into the gym and treat you like family. Beginner or experienced grappler you have a place here. Also Noah has a real talent for training children. One of the best kids instructors I have seen. Def stop in!"
Neka Latimer
"Coach Noah is amazing at what he does. Not only did he teach the kids class but also the adult beginners. My daughter and I each attended his classes. We worked hard but also had a lot of fun. I’d recommend him as a coach for all ages. He and his wife would also run parents night out evenings which my daughter absolutely loved. Great coaches and great people. We were sad to leave him leave as he was a huge part of our gym here in Naples, FL."
Travis Steele
"Noah taught our children at his previous gym in Naples. He is super patient and kind. He makes the kids excited to learn and they strive to do better because of the confidence he instills in them. Our kids are begging to visit his new gym and see him again. We highly recommend coach Noah! 10/10!"
P Canton
"Professor Noah is INCREDIBLE! Our entire family has trained with him; 5 year old son, 10 year old daughter, wife and myself! He is able to provide instructions at all levels which made it easier for all of us to understand. His passion for BJJ and his ability to coach is outstanding. We are excited for A.R.K. Martial Arts and look forward to continuing our journey with him and his team!!! OSS!"
