The instructor is known to be very unprofessional around young children. If he gets angry he’ gets very aggressive and threatening even if your child is there. Nyquist is often known to not even show up to instruct without notice, so if you travel to go train there you may drive there for nothing. He will apologize later for it but not have any common courtesy. Honestly there’s way better schools out there that actually care if you get training in and that are not complete jerks.

I have been practicing martial arts with the Nyquist family for over 20 years! 20 years of being guided, grounded, humbled and taught by nothing but the best! The instructors in the gym are second to none. They truly believe in a family atmosphere, where there is no judgment and everyone is not only welcomed, but challenged and encouraged to do better! The gym offers a wide variety of classes for all ages. My children have taken martial arts here and enjoyed sensei Nyquist and his daughter! I've taken kickboxing here for almost 2 years, after taking time Off to raise children. I also participate in the strength and conditioning class, which is amazing to loose weight and build to bigger classes! Want to fight? Look no further than the NRMA fight team, the most dedicated team, lead by individuals with years of experience! Come try this family owned business, you won't be disappointed, see you in class!

My son has been in NRMA for about a year and a half now and it has been an amazing journey with Kenny as his sensei, my son has learned so much and has became an amazing marital artist thanks to Kenny. This is the best MMA Dojo I have found and Kenny puts passion and love into all the kids. I definitely recommend this Dojo.

Such a great atmosphere at Nyquist Martial Arts! These guys really care about their students! I'm just the photographer, but these kids love being there! If your looking to get your kid into martial arts, or as an adult looking for somewhere to train, I highly recommend Kenny and Jen. 5 star, top notch.

The instructors are very knowledgeable and have real world experience. They enjoy teaching, and are patient with their students. My daughter and I both enjoy training here. Evertime I learn something new.

Top-notch instruction from great instructors Kenny and Mike, and a professional, yet fun atmosphere. It's fun to train with actual fighters who have real MMA experience but without being pressured to jump into the cage myself. Highly recommended.

My man Kenny is a life long martial artist and an effective and humble instructor. He and his wife work well with little ones and family schedules. The environment here has always been a healthy and equal dose of challenge and encouragement; I always leave the gym feeling better about myself and would suggest this gym to anyone looking to improve their confidence and physical abilities.

We could not have found a better place to bring my 2 kids to learn Karate. Kenny has a special gift when it comes to working with these kids. He brings them up when they are down and brings them down when they are to to far up. He knows right where they need to be and he keeps things fun for them. But when it time to put in the work he demands you do your best at all times. My kids are flourishing in all other areas of life as well and I know Kenny has a big part in that.
