My 6-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter have been training at NAK2 Academy for the past couple…read moreof months, and I couldn't be happier with their experience. As someone who has dedicated years to practicing martial arts, I recognized right away that my kids are in great hands. Barry personally teaches the classes and does an excellent job working with children. He's patient, encouraging, and tailors his lessons to their age and skill level. NAK2 Academy is an excellent place for kids to develop discipline, respect, listening skills, and the ability to follow directions. Most importantly, they're building a strong foundation in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) while developing confidence in themselves. I've already seen noticeable progress in both of my kids, and I highly recommend NAK2 Academy to any parent looking for a great martial arts school for their children!

Not for slackers or those looking for an easy black belt but also not asking for anything more than the commitment and willingness to follow through. Show up, train hard, repeat and you will see, you will see. Family friendly, life friendly, intense and inspiring, a large smorgasbord of daily classes to fit your schedule, teachers with a wealth of knowledge and different training styles to find your fit, community of like minded karetakas to find 'your people.' Come for karate and see it grow into a life passion. The school has recently started participating in competitions and as a testament to the rigor, there are winners right off the bat. The social scene is strong as well with barbecues and parties. The dojo just celebrated 50 years and celebrated the life of founder Sensei André Dulce (8th degree black belt.) I have trained with Sensei Mostafa, Sensei Maria, Sensei Neil, Sensei Mitch, Sensei Jack, Sensei Kevin, Sensei Mark, Sensei Robert, Sensei Abhishek, Sensei Kristina, Senpai Andre, Senpai Kate, Senpai Ivan and I marvel at their wealth of acumen and capability and commitment to transfer it. If life allows you the opportunity to train at this dojo, seize it! Sign up for an intro trial class today and see if you don't get hooked! Washington Shotokan Karate Association. OSS!

After a series of bad…read moreexperiences at other places, I was beginning to lose hope of getting my son into a good tae Kwon do school! We drive 35 minutes to get here, passing about 4 other places along the way. Skylar and his instructors are awesome and they take their time to make sure all the students succeed. Pros: -Class Size: they keep a very reasonable amount of students per class and actually work with your child one-on-one. -Instructors: Are some of the instructors "young"? Yes- but they are hard working, know what they are doing and are great at working with kids. My son's favorite teacher (instructional assistant) is probably 15, but he looks forward to hanging out there and sees the instructor as a role model. There are always adult instructors when I go in. -Discipline: they hold kids accountable- teaching them responsibility and self-discipline. I have seen a change for the better in my son. -Honesty: all prices and policies are reasonable and clearly explained before any money is exchanged. They actually charge less then most places- which helps when you want multiple kids to go there eventually ;) -they create a fun environment and a great support system for my son and my family! They emphasize form- which is so important! It's The hardest thing to teach in some ways, and I'm glad my son is getting a strong foundation for his punches and kicks. The only con is the parking lot. I highly recommend True Martial Arts to everyone!

The structure, format teachers and overall environment is great for encouraging growth towards the next rank, building confidence in accomplishing something of value, and really does drive a culture of respect, honor and being a part of something greater than themselves. My daughter thoroughly enjoys the school, teachers, as well as learning Taekwondo and mastering the skills required to be great.

I was looking for something, ANYTHING, to get my teenager into. We have a rule in our home that…read moreyou must do something active, one activity at a time, but you have to be doing something. Well this all went out the window when the pandemic hit and our then 5th grader was stuck home for essentially three years. Around the two year mark we tried floating ideas by them, they tried to go back to basketball, nope no interest. So when I found Z-Ultimate I was convinced that this would be another hit and miss - but boy was I wrong. First of all going into this place they were SO warm and welcoming. They focused their attention on my child and not me, and made sure they understood what was going on and what the process would be. When my kid told me this was the place they wanted to be, they walked me through the pricing in a very clear and efficient was and scheduled out our personal lessons on the spot. In addition to all the above they are so cognizant of anxiety and great with personal pronouns. I cannot thank Z-Ultimate enough for their dedication to my child.

I also witnessed how they stay true to the tradition of Okinawain Karate. My kids were taught every skill needed for every task. Every practice they contained so much knowledge. I was blown away. I had surgery on my ankle in July 2025 and at the end of August 2025 they welcomed me into class and it was one of the greatest decisions I've ever made. I've learned so much and just continue to learn over and over again. The focus they've given me and the understanding they've given me of Okinawain Karate is mind blowing. This school has brought so much to my family and they have all became part of our family. Words can't even describe the gratitude I have for them. They are so compassionate, meet you where your at, and bring you up from there. I would highly recommend this school. It would be one of the best decisions you could ever make. Thank you for reading! Have a wonderful day and may God bless you and your families!
