Great place to bring your kids to build confidence and self defense. The owner Scott is super friendly and always there to answer any questions. The instructors are all great to my daughter and help her correct her moves since she is completely new to MMA. She loves going to class and I’ve seen her confidence improve. I’m so glad I signed her up here because it is a fun family environment that teaches kids real life skills that they will use growing up.

My 6 year old went into class not knowing what to expect. The coaches and staff have been welcoming to a new student. My son loves MMA and can’t wait to go to classes. Scott and his staff are top notch and make everyone feel welcome. I highly recommend having a child try this program!

N.O.C.M.A has been such a great place for my son to learn and build confidence under awesome instructor's. Scott and the coaches really look out for the kids and give them that one on one training during class.

Highly Recommended! I’ve been training at North Orange County Martial Arts for several months now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely care about your growth both inside and outside the gym. The atmosphere is welcoming, with a great sense of community where everyone supports each other’s progress, no matter their experience level. My son also takes the kids’ classes for a little over 1 1/2 years now, and I’ve seen such a positive impact on his confidence, discipline, and physical fitness. The children’s programs are well-structured, fun, and teach valuable life skills while making sure they have a blast in the process. What really stands out is how North Orange County Martial Arts has helped my son prepare for and compete in tournaments. The coaches are so supportive, and the experience has been incredible for his growth as a young athlete. It's amazing to see his improvement on the mat and his excitement about competing. Whether you're a beginner, a parent looking for a great program for your kids, or someone training for competitions, North Orange County MMA has something for everyone. I highly recommend it!

The coaches are very good at holding the kids attention and redirecting when necessary! Very family friendly environment you will find it easy to feel at home:) I highly recommend!

My grandson is currenty enrolled in the Little Ninja Class. He has been in it about 6 months. He started at 4 years old, he is now 5. Our family is impressed with the teachings of this program. Scott, Cam and Chris are amazing with the children, and they really help explain the progression of MMA. The instructors and junior instructors are all kind and patient with the Little Ninjas. My grandson looks forward to class each week. We always feel welcome when we are there, including the complimentary coffee :).

Approximently 4 months ago I enrolled my child in the Nocma Little Ninjas program, and the experience has been exceptional. The program excels in fostering both physical and mental development in a fun, engaging way. The instructors are highly skilled and create a supportive environment that encourages kids to push their limits while building confidence. The structured classes emphasize not just martial arts techniques but also important life skills like discipline, respect, and perseverance. The progress my child has made in coordination, focus, and social skills has been remarkable. The balance of physical activity and character-building in the Nocma Little Ninjas program is truly impressive. It's clear that the program is designed with a deep understanding of what young children need to grow and thrive. Highly recommended for any parent looking to give their child a positive, enriching extracurricular activity.

I’m an office 9-6 worker. Never thought one day I’ll be enjoying knock boxing and jiu jitsu sport. Things started from an incident one of our coworker once in a biz trip, down the street being assaulted by random of an attacker. Realized everyone needs to know self defense, not only for themselves, but for the one they care about. NOCMA is wonderful. I first started my Kick boxing. 🥊 Coach Cam gives us unique experience every time, weight lifting warmup, boxing posture, defend technique and muscle stretch. 2 month later I also started Jiu jitsu practice. Thanks Professor Rob, Cam, Scott, Chris, the fundamental class that’s easy for me a late 40s sedentary beginner to blend in. The environment atmosphere is supportive, peers and senior are always looking after each other. Come join us! This is a place for you to maintain a good habit, keep in shape, and equip yourself a self defense technique.

If you are thinking of giving martial arts training a try I highly recommend NOCMA!

NOCMA feels like a family. We checked out a few jiu jitsu places in the area and when we walked into NOCMA, Scott was so kind. He explained everything to us and never seemed too busy to answer any questions. We had our kids try it out for a week and they loved it. Everyone at NOCMA is so friendly and because it’s a mixed martial art instead of just jiu jitsu, I feel like my kids are getting more from it. We’ve already tested (with no extra fees) for our wrestling and jiu jitsu stripes and are working on kick boxing, Muay Thai, and the knowledge and courage stripes next. I can’t wait to see my kids progress and I know that everyone at NOCMA (even the parents of the other students) are just as proud of my babies as I am.

To stay this has become a family would be an understatement. When I first walked in, I was merely looking for a workout.

Great facility! As a long time martial artist, I look for a gym that has great instruction as well as great students - the students tell you all you need to know about the culture of a martial arts school/gym and the environment here is positive and allows for growth based on your skill level and goals. Professor Rob covers all aspects of a technique so you have understanding or not just what you are doing, but why. Additionally, the school is well organized and clean from the mat, to the lobby to the restroom - ALL super important. Lastly... they have candy!! Great job guys - happy to be training here!

Been taking my kiddo here for more than a few months now and I really appreciate the caliber of the team here. They were welcoming on the very first day we came in, and they continue to be so warm and welcoming, like a family. Parenting is hard (some days are better than others for us) and I can really feel such a strong sense of community with the team and other members as my child struggles with hyperactivity. Everyone understands and is really supportive. NOCMA doesn’t mind us coming in extra early to get situated, either. They constantly check in with us and ask how they can help my child reach goals not just in martial arts but discipline and other soft skills too. We feel really cared for and valued here. Some background — My kid came in initially a hot mess and over the weeks has improved quite a bit. The team is really patient here, especially with the younger ones which can be all over the place. They’re able to command the room quickly and keep things in order. I also really feel like my child is learning true skills to move up, not just “you’ve been here 4 weeks, here is the next kid stripe” situation at other high volume martial arts studios. Although you can drop your kid off and leave for errands, many if not all of the parents choose to stay and watch. I think that says a lot about the community here. Other notes: it’s clean here, they do regular maintenance on cleaning the mat. I tend to be sensitive to dirty feet for some reason so I really appreciate they clean it often. One all gender restroom, a Keurig machine, and coloring center available. Thank you so much to the team - Coach Scott, Coach Cam, and Coach Chris.. Jody and Michelle. I really don’t think my son would have this opportunity without them. (My kid had gotten kicked out of two places cause he couldn’t sit still and I just can’t reiterate how AMAZING this team is.) 5 stars isn’t high enough!
