The Academy: World Class Martial Arts Academy

Our Philosophy

At the heart of our academy is the high level of personal attention we give to each and every one of our students. We realize that every student is an individual and therefore has different needs and learning styles.

We strive to address all of these needs in our program, whether the student be one of our four year old "Little Ninjas" or an adult.

We will always go the extra mile to ensure that everyone gets out of our program exactly what they need.

Come in and experience one of our tailor-made orientation classes and you will be in a great position to decide if our program is right for you. If not, we will do everything possible to recommend the right school for you.

Our programs are designed specifically to challenge & stimulate growth in all age groups. We earnestly believe in the benefits of regular exercise for people of all ages. Contact us today and begin your new lifestyle.

One of our main objectives is to be able to offer this training to everyone. Working in conjunction with the City of Margate Community Center allows us to be able to offer our programs at significantly lower rates than most traditional martial art programs.

A common sense approach
of using simple tools
to be vigilant and safe.

Mr. Nott

Mr. Nott earned his black belt in Jun Fan Gung Fu and continues his studies as a student of Haganah and the Filipino martial arts. Always seeking to expand his own knowledge and skills while striving to inspire his students through his own example, he firmly believes that a martial artist's education should never end - to be a great teacher one must also be a great student.
