Norse Academy Martial Arts

Our 9 year old daughter has been training here for a couple months and came here as a grey belt from another academy. Coach Kurt welcomed her with open arms and spends a lot of 1 on 1 time with all the kids. He not only teaches them BJJ, but instills in them valuable life lessons. Great coach and kids respond to him well. More...

As a woman, it can be intimidating training in an environment where it's mostly men. All the students are very welcoming and down to earth. Coach Kurt gives each of his students a great amount of attention and is very hands on. His teaching is technical in details but accessible enough to students of all levels. More...

My 8 year old son has been practicing Jiu Jitsu at Norse Academy since Sept 2016. We couldn't be any more happy that we finally found the right sport and place to practice at. My son tried out numerous sports before we started here and we couldn't find anything that stuck. We believe that it is not only the sport that he enjoys, but the coaches and the other kids in class as well.
The environment at Norse Academy is both relaxed & structured as well as fun and motivating. Coach Kurt creates a positive environment which in return makes the kids feel good about going to class. He rarely has to raise his voice and he does exceptionally well drawing their attention in a non aggressive way when he needs to. This place is definitely a safe zone for the kids and even when they roll against one another, in no way do the coaches make it overly competitive. Instead they truly are teaching them for when they do go to compete. In addition to the physical activity, he also teaches them life lessons and how to be the best little humans that will grow to be exceptional adults. On top of all that he makes sure they have fun, after all they are kids! He touches on the importance of healthy eating and how it is important to know where the food they eat comes from!
Since September I have seen emotional and physical changes in my son that are definitely a result of this academy. He has more energy, focus, confidence and is becoming more physically fit. It has become a 2nd home for my son and I myself enjoy the company of the other parents that are there watching. I can't say enough good things and would recommend this place if you are looking for any of the above. More...
