North American Martial Arts Institute

My son, Jacob, began his training in TaeKwonDo with The North American Martial Arts Institute (N.A.M.A.I.) when he was 6 l/2 years old. Now, at ll l/2 years old, Jacob has achieved the incredible feat of earning a First Degree Black Belt! His success in the martial art has also had a positive effect on his studies and his attitude towards others. He has been guided by experienced instructors, who have also given him the opportunity to become a great teacher himself. When Jacob entered first grade, he was shy and hesitant, but now, in sixth grade, he is more confident and has many friends. I am truly thankful to John & Co. for all they have done for Jacob.

My son has been studying martial arts at N.A.M.A.I. for four years and is close to being tested for his Black Belt. The most important thing he has gained is a newfound self-confidence. Before, he was quite shy, but martial arts has allowed him to be more open with his family and friends. Additionally, the training has presented him with the opportunity to meet new people and form new relationships. There are many other advantages that cannot be summed up in a few words!

My son has seen a great improvement in his focus, self-discipline, and control since enrolling in Lil Dragons TaeKwonDo. He has even attempted to impart these skills to his two-year-old twin brothers. He anticipates attending the program each week and practices his techniques daily on his own. All in all, Lil Dragons TaeKwonDo has been a very beneficial experience for him.

My daughter has gained a lot from attending Lil Dragons TaeKwonDo. Not only has she developed discipline, respect, and a positive attitude, but she has also been taught about safety, teamwork, focus, memory, and concentration. She is having a great time with this activity, and it is helping her to be better behaved at home. I am so pleased that she has gained a sense of self-assurance and is learning how to protect herself.

For the past year, our family has been customers of The North American Martial Arts Institute in Norwalk. We have seen amazing physical and mental benefits from the activities we partake in, such as Cardio Karate, Resistance Training and TaeKwonDo classes. What we didn't expect was the emphasis on Focus, Control, Discipline and Attitude that the children are taught to practice in martial arts and their everyday life. This has helped the kids with their schoolwork, other sports like football, basketball and baseball, and has kept peace in the home. The children are required to complete a weekly checklist of tasks, such as doing homework, cleaning their room, brushing teeth and showing respect for friends and family. Surprisingly, the children are having a great time and are enjoying the guidance and challenges provided by the professional staff at N.A.M.A.I.

Throughout the period our daughters have been receiving instruction in Martial Arts, we have observed a rise in self-assurance as well as an acknowledgement of their own accountability for their behavior. This has been reflected in their school and other activities. Even though this doesn't remedy all issues when raising a child, it is certainly a move in the right direction.

This outstanding school has achieved great success over the years, not only teaching martial arts to black belt level and higher, but also equipping their students with life skills that will continue to be beneficial in their academic, professional, and personal lives! I strongly suggest this school and its incredible instructors.

Trying to locate the perfect school to attend can be like finding a needle in a haystack. We understand this feeling here at The North American Martial Arts Institute (NAMAI) because all of our instructors are also students.

Are you looking to join a martial arts school for a good workout or out of a passion for the art? Our courses are tailored to the needs of our students. Depending on your goals, you will be able to learn the principles of self-defense and put them into practice.

It is not necessary to be in incredible physical condition, be incredibly strong, or have any prior knowledge of martial arts to join us. NAMAI is open to everyone, but if you don't make the effort to come in, you won't be able to take advantage of the advantages many others have. Let us guide you and you can follow the path. What makes NAMAI stand out from the rest is that we are invested in what our students need.
