NPMAC has been a transformative experience for my 7-year-old son. The dojo's approach to To-Shin Do has not only improved his focus and ability to follow directions but has also instilled in him a sense of discipline and self-confidence. The instructors are incredibly skilled and nurturing, providing a supportive environment that has truly unlocked my son's potential. I'm thrilled with the positive impact NPMAC has had on his behavior and development. It's been an invaluable investment in his growth.

Me and my daughter have enjoyed training at the NPMAC dojo.She is learning valuable skills, self confidence and awareness for how to world works. As a parent I feel more comfortable with her growing independence because of the skills NPMAC is giving to her.

This Dojo is an amazing and special place for both kids and adults. We had both of our children in the dojo for years now and can see the obvious benefits in self-esteem, discipline and self confidence. The teacher are the most dedicated people and truly love what they do. Highly recommend!

As an adult martial-arts newbie, I visited several dojos throughout the County, from Ventura to Westlake Village. Newbury Park Martial Arts Center immediately felt like home! The staff members provide a terrific blend of mind (highly observant and customized instruction); body (what energy!); and heart (they are super patient, encouraging, and funny!). Even though I am way older, and way less accomplished, than just about everyone in this dojo (including the little ones), I leave each lesson feeling more confident and powerful. Enrolling here is one of the best decisions I've ever made.

My daughter and I have been attending NPMAC for almost 4 years and have nothing but positive experiences here. The staff are extremely professional and give everything they have to ensure all of the students are prepared and well trained.We have no intention of EVER stopping our training here. If you don’t know what TO SHIN DO is about I encourage you to research it. It truly has something for everyone and I enjoy the traditionally classic Ninjutsu training. There is so much more than just self defense here. That is just the tip of the iceberg.Please come by and check it out. You will be pleasantly surprised how welcome everyone is here.Darren Smith

NPMAC combines modern education techniques with thousand-years old battle proven martial art and mind science. If you are looking for Hollywood movies style... sorry, this is the wrong place. NPMAC is for those ready to work and become winners in all aspects of their lives also able to gracefully manage the physical conflicts.

My daughter has been a member of the dojo for nearly 7 years, starting when she was 6. We strongly recommend NPMAC. The instructors are are fantastic. They have helped her not only with karate but also self confidence, respect, and punctuality. The atmosphere is wonderful and always a great place to train and learn. She’s made several friends from the dojo and considers it part of the family.

We love our dojo! Our kids have been attending NPMAC for almost three years. The instructors quickly won them over with their fun instruction methods and judgement-free feedback. As a parent, I particularly appreciate the values-based themes the kids learn each month, with discussions around topics such as Persistence, Discipline, and Excellence. The owners, instructors, students, and their families form a very supportive learning community for developing potential. As a result, my kids have learned to persist through discomfort, mastering moves and techniques they never thought they could! We are so thankful to have NPMAC in our lives.

My son has joined the dojo family for almost four years now. He loves every minute there. The instructors are all very nice and fun to talk to, they are professional and responsible. They not only teach very useful skills, my son is also learning of being respectful, being self-confident, caring others and a lot more. I feel rest assured putting my kid there.

Both of my children have attended NPMAC, which we all liked because of its real-world application. One child achieved his black belt a few years ago and the other will test for his black belt in a couple of weeks! The program is amazingly detailed and well-thought out. I love that the teachers have conversations with the children about different topics and ask them though-provoking questions, in addition to practicing the physical lessons. As a result, I believe my children are alert for situations/danger, and could defend themselves or others if a real-world situation presented itself. They have also learned a lot about perseverance, discipline, and having fun!

My daughter has been coming to NPMAC for several years now. She just started high school and her schedule is extremely busy. I asked her if she would like to drop her extracurricular activities including martial arts and she said absolutely NOT! She loves going to the dojo. It has taught given her a sense of self as well as self confidence.I love their teaching approach as it is unique, mindful and thoughtful.I highly recommend NPMAC!
