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 under stand 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.

I love this place. Im so happy I signed up for this. I highly recommend NAK. very welcoming, and great communication. Family owned and operated and they genuinely love what they do. I will be coming here as long as my family is studying martial arts.

Awesome family oriented place to teach ur kids self defense. My son started at 5 and is now 7. I highly reccomend it.

We all have coaches in our life of one sort or another but none ever that can compare and truly help your character and values in the way that martial arts can and does. Professor Sal and his family of instructors have been a part of our life for 6 yrs now and has not only made a difference in my life as an adult but in my 10 yr old sons as well. Respect, Self Control, Honesty, Courage, Loyalty, and Integrity is what we all want for ourself and our children and everything they teach here. No other sport will do what this will do for your children. Thank you NAK family for all that you do!

Awesome work out. Great people.

Our family )Dad, Mom and three kids) trained for over 5 years at NAK. We all learned a lot about self-defense, respect and honor. We will always be proud to be associated with NAK. The instructors truly care about the legacy and impact that they have on their students.

Great for everyone! Really happy about signing up my son.

NAK Martial Arts changed my life. The Staff made me feel so welcomed, and I loved their facility. It was always clean and orderly. The workouts always started on time, and the people who I attended classes with made me feel empowered and accomplished. Everyone was super encouraging. I loved the time I spent at NAK, and I recommend this business to ANYONE looking to find a martial arts or fitness/skills/strengthening home.

N.A.K. Changed my life!! Signing up was the best decision I have ever made. I cant rate this school high enough for what it deserves. Just do your self, your family and your friends favor and sign up now you wont regret it.. I started training at N.A.K. in the early 90s and still training strong today.

This has been one of the best schools I have experienced! Love everyone there! The instructors and all staff are phenomenal!! This style is so effective on top of the workouts that you get to take you to a better place for yourself, not just physically healthy but also mentally too!! This is the best investment you can make for yourself and your family!! You will feel right at home! I love, love GOTTHENAK!!

I trained at NAK Martial Arts for 4 years and I highly recommend it! The instructors are all great, everyone cares about you and they become your second family. Big emphasis on respect, self-discipline and a positive lifestyle. Great classes and workouts! I gained a lot of strength and confidence from training at the NAK!

I am a martial artist and have been training 50 years, so when I give rave reviews its because I believe in the training, the NAK group is the real deal, a combination of effective street self defense, traditional martial arts, taught with a modern flavor, and top notch sport combat training! So no matter what your looking for NAK will fill the bill.Do the best thing you can do for you, or your child, and call them today!

Ive been training at NAK for over two years. My wife, five years. Amazing school with even more amazing instructors. This place literally changed my and my wifes lives. Its a family atmosphere teaching various martial art styles, while consistently promoting respect, discipline, honor, confidence and more.Since starting, I feel better about myself (physically, personally), have more confidence, I worry less about my wifes safety (shes soon to be a black belt), and have made friends that will last a lifetime - most of whom I now consider family.I HIGHLY recommend NAK Martial Arts to anyone. You wont find a better dojo to train.

I started at NAK with my Mom at the age of 14. Shortly thereafter, my Dad and brother started training as well. NAK is more than martial arts, it is a family. I learned self-discipline and strength, both physically and mentally, that prepared me for my adult life. This organization is committed to not only teaching the art of self-defense, but gaining confidence in your abilities as individual. If I still lived in Arizona, I would not hesitate to reunite with the NAK family.

NAK is first rate and professional, very friendly and family oriented. I know several members and instructors. This family owned and operated martial arts center brings a long standing tradition of hard work and athletic accomplishments to you on a personal level. My wife has been a member and I highly recommend this studio to anyone that is looking for health and fitness. NAK Martial Arts, bringing strength honor and pride to Gilbert. My kind of athletes. My kind of family. Lou Carmona

Have you ever heard that its the teacher that brings out the potential in a student? I have seen and trained at many schools but none changed my life life like NAK. This is a family with great instructors and vibe. What you take away from here will stay with you all your life .. It is a ever evolving style

NAK is a great place to train for the entire family. Professor Sal, Simou and staff are very family oriented and welcoming. Training is hard work and rewarding at the same time. They teach self respect, respect to others, self worth, courage and confidence. Professor SAL is awesome at building on the strengths of a child and instilling confidence.

NAK has been my family for 14 years. Professor Sal and his family have an excellent martial arts school. They just dont focus on building fighters they focus on building better people through self discipline and respect. A great foundation to start your children with or for a great way for adults to start a new healthier and disciplined lifestyle. Kajukenbo is a martial art that provides you with effective self defense from different styles that your whole family will benefit from with a good environment.

This is by far the best martial art school in the valley. The curriculum is functional, relevant and will get you in shape. It is a family run business, and you will be treated as family when you step through the door. I highly recommend NAK for anyone looking for improvement in their life.

NAK presents a family atmosphere. Three of my grandchildren and son have trained there. Self discipline, motivation, respect for self and others is highly stressed while training. NAK staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

My kids started training at NAK Martial Arts Center many years ago. I was so impressed with their classes, I started training there too. This place has something to offer the whole family. I highly recommend NAK Martial Arts Center. They just moved to a new location 1130 N Gilbert Rd #3, Gilbert, AZ 85234.

Love NAK Martial Arts! All the instructors here are so down-to-earth and positive. I would highly recommend them. The training I received at NAK helped strengthen my self-esteem and confidence. The Banuelos team are true gems.

Not just a typical martial arts dojo. Its a tribe. Members are like friends and family. Great programs for kids and adults with great instructors. If your looking start here, you will stay.

Amazing dojo. Great family atmosphere. Lifetime friendships have been forged from training together and watching our children grow stronger and become more confident young adults. The tenets of Honesty, Self Control, Respect, Courage, etc that the kids learn, work in all aspects of life. Highly recommend this dojo if you are looking for somewhere to not just train but to grow as well.

My Son who has taken Gymnastics for 3 years was the age of 6 now almost 2 years later since I put him in NAK has advanced in all his sports from his Training with Sal at Nak. His sportsmanship and respect for others had grown as well. I have and always will recommend Nak to any family I know for there kids. Excited for My daughters to train there as well. I love and Respect this Family establishment.

If you wanted something to protect yourself and families. These are the tools must have. I love being there supportive! Aloha!

Excellent instructors, very family oriented and a true Black Belt School. They teach both striking and. grappling with emphasis on self defense.

The instructors are all great. You feel like family there. Definitely built my confidence up.

Great school. The instructors are great. Very family oriented. Great location. This school is awesome.

Both of my sons (ages 6 and 7) started classes at the NAK. I was impressed by the instructors maturity, professionalism, attention and dedication to the students. They strongly encourage and instil respect, self worth, courage and confidence; which is also a good defense technique.

The Nak is a wonderful establishment! I highly recommend The Nak to anyone interested in Self defense, Fitness, Etc. Professor Sal and his family are great people and even better role models. I can not wait to visit and see the new Building. Aloha

Our entire family trains at NAK. We love not only the martial arts aspect of the training but also the character development that the training has encouraged in our children. The instructors truly care!

You want to get in shape, you gotta get the NAK! Ive 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!

All I can say is Awsome . Need to check out this family owned Martial Art school. The Instructors are great,Sal Banuelos is a black belt instructor who loves what he does. He will give you a workout that you will never forget but you will definitely see results and enjoy the environment . You will not be disappointed there is something for the whole family. They have a little of everything including Kenpo Karate. You will learn self defense techniques that could be helpful in any situation. NAK teaches you to have Desire, Dedication, and Discipline. I give NAK Martial Arts Two Thumbs Up 🖒🖒

Great place, respectful and disciplined, my sons have gained confidence self respect and kept them in good physical health . I would definitely recommend NAK Martial Arts Center

Amazing new facility, with amazing instructors that make you feel like family and are always there to help you in all aspect of life!

Incredibly well trained Martial Artists. Family centered professionals who take children self esteem to an higher level of confidence. Almost 6 years now, My 16 year old and 11 year old are developing into wonderful young adults. One of their mottos tell me who you are and Ill tell you who you hang out with has influenced my children to stand for theirs beliefs without wavering.As for myself and my husband, we started training in our 40s. Dont doubt yourself because of your age! Now, in our mid-40s, we are physically fit, well centered family who enjoy training as One Ohana. Soon our family journey will continue as black belt members !! Exciting times.Thank you Professor Sal Banuelos and Sifu Henry Castaneda and Professor Louis Banuelos -- The Robert & Debbie Blums

Professor Sal has created a family first environment at the NAK martial arts dojo, teaching his community and myself more than just martial arts but also respect, discipline, and integrity. This martial arts dojo is more than just another Karate achool it is a team, a family.

I trained under Professor Sal(then Sifu) when he taught in San Jose, CA, years ago. His classes were focused first on the fundamentals, emphasis on the fun. Have no doubt, Kajukenbo is a hard style art that blends the best of Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, Kenpo, and Chinese Boxing(gung fu), and will teach you what you need to survive anything you might encounter in the street. Professor Sal mixes up the focus of each class so you never know whats next, but it always comes back to improving his students in mind, body, and spirit. Sit in on a class, better yet go take a class. Youll get hooked and keep going back for more.

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 we 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.

Top notch instructors and great classes, my wife and daughter love training at NAK !
