"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!"
