Learn moreOur Adult Martial Arts classes at National Martial Arts offer Poughkeepsie and Hyde Park the most extensive self-defense training around. Take your pick from the multiple disciplines we offer or try them all out and develop a well-rounded skill set that will keep you in unbelievable shape and prepare you for any real-world threat.
Learn moreUnlike the many disciplines that favor more size and strength in a fighter, Gracie Jiu Jitsu abides by the idea that you will eventually be smaller than an opponent and you'll need to overcome that somehow. With our training at National Martial Arts, you'll learn how to use leverage and technique to overwhelm a larger opponent into submission.
Learn moreKnown as "the art of eight limbs," Muay Thai is a total body training discipline that will teach you how to gain an edge over an opponent using any means possible. Our Muay Thai Classes at National Martial Arts will help you develop serious total body strength while helping you learn how to efficiently strike using any part of your body.
Learn morePerhaps the most known self-defense discipline to American athletes, boxing is an art form that takes years of training and constant commitment to perfect. But at National Martial Arts, we're here to help boxers of all ages and experience learn the basics or sharpen their skills.
Learn moreThere's no better way to celebrate your child's big day than with our martial arts themed birthday parties at National Martial Arts. From delicious food to exciting games and activities, your child and all their friends will have a day to remember after practicing their skills with a real martial arts instructor.
Learn moreNational Martial Arts (NMA), is a great place to join whether you're looking to get in shape, learn self-defense, or just blow off some steam. I've had the opportunity to train in both the boxing & Muay Thai programs and I love every minute of it. Gyms can be intimidating but NMA is the complete opposite of that. Christian Lacey is a very welcoming person & a great coach. He is very patient & makes sure every student learns the proper techniques. At most gyms you just feel like a member, but at NMA you feel like you're apart of something. Everyone who trains here is also welcoming & non-judgmental. The facility itself has great equipment & is very clean. Its never too packed so every class feels like a personal lesson. Since joining, I am more confident both physically & mentally. NMA caters to all ages, so if you have children or are in your teens/20's, this place has a class for you. Highly Recommend!
NMA is a great school, for beginners to seasoned fighters! I've personally had the pleasure of training here over the corse of 3 yrs now and find it too be a very inviting beginner friendly environment, with semi-flexible hours "very much so compared to other local gyms & boxing clubs!", with competitive prices, an a great bunch of training partners, who's sole intentions are to work with one another at there own pace to achieve there respective goals!
My sons started training here one year ago. We were adjusting to a new area and found National Martial Arts. We are so glad we did. My boys' love training with Master Lacey and his team and have learned many skills, not just physical, that carry over into our daily lives. the training has increased their confidence, heightened their focus and challenges them to push past their comfort zone. My oldest son has gained a great deal of responsibility and commitment by assisting with the classes. He values his commitment to the team and looks forward to helping with the classes. Overall, this is a great place for families and we will continue to be a part. Great Job NMA!!
