Potential for Exclusion

"My son absolutely loves Next Level Martial Arts. Master Hedrick and his staff are phenomenal with students of all ages. Next level is not just a studio for Brody to learn his sport but he has gained friends and confidence. Every student has the opportunity to become black belt leaders, gain knowledge, discipline, and respect for themselves and others."

"Our boys love attending Master Hedrick’s classes. They have built confidence in themselves and are taught to respect others. Jonathan is an excellent teacher and works well with any age from preschool to adults. Also, NLMA recently hosted our sons’ birthday party and it was a blast! There was dodge ball and nerf wars. Master Hedrick made the day fun and kept it all organized. Everyone that attended was so impressed."

"A wonderful facility and staff! My six year old has learned how to control his body and focus his mind. I can't say enough about Mr. Hendrix and his team of instructors."

"My son just started with Next level. He is 3.5 and he loves it. We took the 29 dollar 2 week special. We are going to commit to a year. He was glowing after his first class. There are lots of teachers there to help and support the children and all the parents seem really nice. I'm a stay at home mom and I feel that the discipline instilled in this class will help me at home. They teach fitness and of course, Karate. However his teacher really cares about how the children treat each other, and how they respect themselves, and their parents. I'm excited to see what happens in the future and I'm grateful for this studio accepting 3 year olds."
