I have been taking advantage of the adult fitness class, which includes a self-defense component, for about 3 years. I love that the workouts are created to meet any fitness level and help each person to attain his/her personal goals in an energetic, judgement-free environment. Starting something new is never easy, though it didn't take long for me start seeing and feeling the benefits of my effort - I'm very happy I made the commitment to myself with this Dojo and highly recommend checking it out!

We have been very happy with NVMA. Our kids have learned a lot and we like how calm yet disciplined Sensei James makes it for the kids. They get to do some fun kid games at times and I like how he pushes and encourages character growth in a controlled environment.

I am biased because I assist classes there but I believe full heartedly in what they do.
Teaching kids responsibility effort etiquette self control sincerity is important.
