If you are at all interested in self defense or just a fun way to work out, you really owe it to yourself to check this place out. Super welcoming atmosphere and some great people. And it's obvious that they know their stuff. A few of us were talking afterwards about how we know people are nervous about martial arts and maybe feel intimidated. Trust me, you will feel like family here in no time. Martial arts are great for your mind, body, and spirit. And you couldn't ask for a better place to learn! Thanks Nico!!!!
Very professional , very knowledgeable instructors. A good place for hobbyists.
I think a new members packet would be helpful to know what to expect,as for me communication was not there.But niko is very good with children and teaching.
Sifu Nick has been in the game for awhile. He has years of knowledge in the art of combat that will help take you to extraordinary heights. He's an amazing Sifu and very inspiring. Being under his guidance helped me realize mistakes I've made within my martial arts/training. If you want to learn more about how to survive and turn on that survival switch Sifu Nick is the one to go to. Also Coach Hashem is an amazing coach when it comes to jiu jitsu ground game. He will teach you how to counter and defend anything while on the ground.. AWESOME DOJO 1000/10. This is HOME
I just joined this week. I was looking for a place where I could really learn to defend myself and my kids as a short woman. I'm very happy with my choice. After each class, I'm exhilarated by everything I've learned and dead tired! I didn't sign up because I want to get in shape but I have no doubt I'm going to get shredded lol. I haven't been this sore in a long time but you don't even realize you're working as hard as you are. Hands down better than any fitness class out there. The classes are personal, the other students are super friendly and helpful, the instructors are awesome and wise. They encourage you to face off with opponents from the very beginning but not in an intimidating way. My goal is to become very comfortable with fighting one-on-one so I will not have to think or hesitate in a real life fight. I have no doubt they're going to get me ready. It's definitely like training for a sport vs just staying in shape. I really love it.
I showed up with no previous experience and AMA was awesome with working with beginners like me as well as the advanced regulars. Definitely recommend!
Nick and Hashem are two of the best instructors that I come across.I highly recommend people to come for these two individuals. If there is any place anybody would want to come get fit, learn great self-defense, learn how to fight, I assure you Allied Martial Arts would be the right place for you to train, get strong and learn a different variety of martial arts.
Talented and motivational instructor brings the best out of my kid. Beautiful facility. Highly recommend!
I have been training with Nick (Savate, JKD, Muay Thai, Kali, Silat, Wing Chun) and Hashem (BJJ) for over 5 and 2 years respectively. There knowledge of the arts is profound and the training program is well planned and suitable for anyone who has prior experience or a beginner. There is great sense of community and everyone (teachers/students) are very welcoming and helpful. I absolutely recommend AMA to anyone who is interested in self-defense/fitness/competition martial arts.
I started here about a month ago and it’s been great! Friendly for all levels of martial arts and the coaches are fantastic!
A great place to learn more realistic martial arts style that covers all ranges of defense even if you have learned other kinds of martial art styles. Moreover, the classes offer a challenging, yet varied physical workout that will help anyone get into better physical shape.
Lots of variety in the curriculum so there’s always something fresh to learn plus a very inviting and friendly atmosphere.
Regardless of whether you have a lot, little, or no martial arts experience, I highly recommend this place. Nick and Hashem prepare you for the dangers life can throw at you in the streets by teaching you long, mid, close range tactics. Everything is practical and can be used in real life. This isn’t just another school in which you’re a number in a sea of students. You actually get personal attention and encouragement based on your strengths and weaknesses with growth waiting around the corner. Plus everyone that trains is helps you progress as well.
I highly recommend this training, very intense, very demanding and alot of practical techniques
Learning from the Nick has been such a pleasure and great learning opportunity that I followed him to his new school Allied Martial Arts in South field MI. The difference between AMA and other MMA schools is that the instructors Nick and Hasham both want to see you succeed and won't give up on you. They are both highly qualified professionals in their own areas of expertise. Another aspect of AMA that I truly enjoy is and has helped me out as a fighter a great deal is its realism. The techniques you learn in the various classes are not only trained technically, but also trained for real life scenarios in sparring. I can not stress enough how critical practicing sparring is to becoming comfortable in a fight, real life or a just practice. If you are into JKD, sevate, BJJ, muay thai, self defense, or just want to get a good workout in, AMA is a great place to give a try! Would not recommend any other MMA school over AMA!
I've found a 2nd home at Allied Martial Arts studying several disciplines of stand up self defense such as... Muay Thai, Savate, Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Dirty Boxing, Wing Chun... as well as ground attack and defense with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Both Sifu Nick & Coach Hashem are highly trained and wonderful to work with! Patient and always able to adjusting the day's technique to suit any limitations due to past injuries or limitations. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with its students eager to welcome new members to the family. No egos just people looking to help one another grow in martial arts! Plus they have kids classes!
