I'm 77. My reading was overwhelmingly positive about the gift you give yourself as a senior engaging in mixed martial arts. A friend took me to the NAK Martial Arts family. They have: challenged me, empowered me, strengthened me, encouraged me. This is not a class of just waving your arms around. They truly work on helping you find your true potential. 77 years young! read more

I haven't been truly physically active in over 2 years, and after recently having a baby I decided to finally get back into taking care of myself. Luckily, I was referred to check NAK out from a good friend. I used to train in two different gyms in San Diego and would always be nervous before stepping into any Muay Thai gym; due to the seemingly intimidating nature. While waiting for my class to start I was greeted by whoever was walking in and who was on their way out. I immediately recognized NAK was a place of integrity and respect. I genuinely enjoyed every minute of my experience, including the part when I felt like my arms were going to fall off. I am happy to become apart of this family and would recommend NAK to anyone of all ages with whatever experience. I look forward to regaining skills that I have learned before as well as learning so much more. read more

I stopped in asking for directions to purchase martial arts supplies locally. I received a very kind greeting from two teachers of the art. They were willing to stop straining for a moment simply to give me the best advice possible. I have not trained at this dojo, but obviously the Leqdership is superb and genuine here. read more

You want to get in shape, you gotta get the NAK! I've done martial arts off-and-on my entire life since a child, including TKD, Hapkido, Kajukenbo, and a black belt in Shuri Ryu. NAK is next level training, focusing on the physical, mental, and spiritual, along with some ol' school self-defense and mixed martial arts. Take the Kickboxing to get in the best shape of your life, and then take the Muay Thai, BJJ, or Kajukenbo just for the fun! read more

We have been attending NAK for 5 months and NAK has been so amazing for my 2 boys. They both play soccer and when they combined the physical And mental Strength they have gained at NAK, their in-game performance just elevated. NAK teaches kids to be more confident, to believe in them selfs and the benefits of hard work. Professor Sal and his brother Louis take time to help the Kids understand and walk them through scenarios. They are truly fantastic and great with people. The combination of NAK physical and mental Strength + Soccer = Success for my family. I would recommend this place to anyone, especially if they play other sports. read more

In January 2018 I celebrated my 70th orbit around the sun ... I've been kickboxing at NAK for nearly past two years ... Professors Louis and Sal are amazingly skilled and have helped challenge and develop me ... they are supportive and obviously love their students and the arts, and the sense of community they develop at NAK is palpable ... if you think you're "too old" or "too out of shape", trust me ... you're selling yourself and NAK short ... you'll find energy and skills you never thought or knew you had ... and meet some cool people ...it's awesome! read more

N.A.K. is the best Mixed Martial arts dojo in the valley hands down. I feal extreamly privileged to be the first one to write a review on such a special place. My name is Mike Codere, my son Ralph and I have been attending this dojo with Sifu Henry and Professor Sal and all the other wonderful staff for many many years. MY 15 year loves attending class and all the other family functions that you can't imagine. Thanks to Professor and Sifu Henry's attention to great detail and the utmost care in everything with these children and families lives , my son has achieved more than I could ever imagine. He is also a straight A student and is heading for college. I would like to write so much more but in short you must go to at least meet the people here and take one class. But remember the more you go the better it is, i promise!! They have all different classes not just mixed martial arts, whether you want to get in shape and just get a workout, train professionally and or compete, or just learn an art o protecte yourself and your family, they have it all it is a very comfortable place to be and is a with a very friendly and unique atmosphere for this type of business. I would strongly recommend N.A.K. to anyone. Thank you very much to the whole staff for everything you've done for our family and we look forward to many years of enjoyment with N.A.K.

Professor Sal and NAK Martial Arts Center are top-notch and highly respected in the Kajukenbo community. Classes are challenging but thoroughly enjoyable. The level of experience and expertise of Professor Sal and his instructors is leaps and bounds more than you will find at practically any other "karate" or "tae kwon do" shop in town. NAK is a place where friendships are made, where you laugh and enjoy sweating, where you watch each other grow physically and mentally, and where your kids will be safe while learning critical life skills in respect, humility, and courage. Both my son and I took lessons from Professor Sal. My son had earned a black belt in tae kwon do before coming to NAK but it was quickly clear to see that he had so much more to learn! Professor Sal opened our eyes to an amazing form of martial arts: Kajukenbo. In no time, my son and I bonded with everyone at NAK. To this day, we still talk about the lessons he learned there. It's not everyday that you have an opportunity to learn this unique form of martial arts, particularly from someone so accomplished in his field. I highly recommend Professor Sal and NAK. read more
