What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
John Moody
"My sons and I have trained all around the country judo and BJJ, and this was one of our best experiences yet. Great teaching, great group of folks to train with, really productive and safe training environment. Thanks James and the folks at NLMAA for letting us drop in."
Zach Nims
"I have trained at Next Level Martial Arts for about 3 1/2 years now and it has been a great place to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Coaches James and Mark as well as Muay Thai with Coaches Kevin and George. Everyone is very friendly and willing to help new people learn."
Evan Rumble
"Very welcoming, family-like atmosphere. If you are considering starting brazilian jiu jitsu, this is an amazing place to start. The instructors are great at getting you to understand why you are doing a given technique, as well as demonstrating how. If you are still struggling to understand, they will check in with you to ensure you are not getting left behind. They even record the demonstration so you can see what you missed if you were absent. It is obvious that the instructors enjoy putting in the effort to help every individual succeed. They also work great with children and adults alike, which I think speaks very highly of the academy's culture."
Rodney Duke
"I couldn't be happier with our 13 year old son's development at Next Level Martial Arts Academy! He really enjoys the challenge of each class and it has greatly enhanced his confidence and character. All the coaches and staff are patient, nurturing, and very knowledgeable. Special thanks to coaches George, James, and manager Lisa. They've created a wonderful environment full of support and enthusiasm for all ages to enjoy. I highly recommend this program!!"
