"I have been involved in martial arts for 40 years. The instructors at Nova are as good as any I’ve encountered anywhere and are the best group of people I’ve ever met. My 3 kids love the environment and we are beyond lucky to have a place like this in our area. You could not ask for better."

"Beautiful open space to watch training from anyplace in the room. Ample seating area. Clean, good quality mats for training on and a kid friendly space for all ages. Definitely stop by and see for yourself!"
Samantha Nida
"Nova has helped my kids to have confidence. It provides the kids with exercise, and knowledge on how to defend against a bully or attacker. The coaches are amazing, they're always watching the kid's making sure they are doing the moves safely, and that they stay safe. Putting our kids in Nova was one of the best decisions we've ever made."
