Testimonials

"My son, Jacob started training when he was 6 l/2 years old. Jacob is now ll l/2 years old with a First Degree Black Belt! What a great accomplishment for someone of his age. His success with TaeKwonDo through The North American Martial Arts Institute (N.A.M.A.I.) can also be seen in his study habits and the way he respects those around him. I have watched knowledgable instructors help Jacob achieve all of this and they have also given him a gift. the chance to become a great instructor! Jacob started first grade shy and tentative, now in the sixth grade he is more outgoing and laughs with all his friends. Thanks John & Co. Lisa M. Norwalk, OH"

"The greatest benefit from his training is the self-confidence it has instilled in him. He was a shy person before and with martial arts he has found a way to open up around family and friends. Training provides a way to meet new people and make new friends. There are many other benefits that cannot be described in just a few words! Matt F. Norwalk, OH"

"I highly recommend NAMAI if you want your child to become a confident adult. Wendy L."
