Alex Wilkie's Martial Arts Academy

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Wilkie's for a little over a year now. Many schools teach martial arts, some teach "self-defense", but few teach applied self defense. Alex Wilkie's martial arts academy is one of the few places that teaches true self defense that will help you in real situations. Law enforcement agencies know this, navy seals know this, and even Hell's Angels know this, so they train at Wilkie's. If you want to learn something that could help save your life, this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Been going off and on for 4 years now, this place is the best MMA Gym you'll find. Al is a great guy and know what he is doing. The sessions make you push yourself and teach you a lot. He mixes all of the traditional martial arts programs and adapts them to the 21st century fight styles. He not only trains civilians but is a supporter and teacher to us in the Military. He trains police officers and federal employees in hand to hand combat and tactical drills. Even the people there are helpful and knowledgeable, you won't find a more supportive group of people than those at Wilkie's.

Fantastic experience: Great class the instructors were awesome helping with self defense, with great knowledge. I really enjoyed it and looking forward to another martial arts class.

Fantastic experience: Best martial arts academy on the east coast

Fantastic experience: Amazing place with great people.

Fantastic experience: Honestly I did not have high or low expectations at all coming here. I had vero little knowledge on Jiu Jitsu. But I will say, I’m the girliest a girl could get, and have never done anything like that in my life. I’m perky and ask many questions and take a while to understand things. I just started my first class today. But I am SOOOO overwhelmed with happiness and faith in doing something I love and in a place so accepting. Greg was super patient with me and everyone there was respectful and kind. The student that was my partner for the day was incredibly helpful and patient as well. And Alex was sooo kind and generous. I was so afraid to go here and left BEYOND grateful. Loved every second of it. I truly had fun. Time flew by so quick and I cannot wait to see how my body and mind adjusts to this hopefully new lifestyle ❤️‼️
