Solid school. Great instruction. Good people

I trained here for about two years mainly for Muay Thai. Kinda on and off towards the end because of injuries. The coaching staff is all knowledgeable and extremely nice. The gym is probably the cleanest in Eugene which was one of the reasons I initially started going to NWMA. The only reason I stopped training there was because they got rid of the Muay Thai program. I think that was mostly because the younger generation these days has issues with getting punched in the face during light sparring. It doesn't even matter if it doesn't leave blood or a bruise. I'd like to see Muay Thai make its way back on the schedule here. If I was going to leave any constructive criticism, it would be on the coaches opinion of weight training / muscle tone. The coaches here are on the lighter side and they make it obvious they think that's the best build in the game. Unfortunately, there's more than a handful of the hundred and fifty pound six foot dudes that take this to heart.

NWMA always has open arms to people that are trying to learn a martial arts and be a part of a loving and inclusive community. I have been here since April 2011, and the amazing owners Ryan and Jenna Kelly always go out of their way to check in with students to make sure they are loving their training. The instructors are always kind and open to answering questions. As a woman, I know that in a male-dominated sport, I can always trust the owners to be inclusive and supportive of my decision to lead the BJJ and kickboxing lifestyle.

After shopping around a bit and checking out the selection of places to train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the area I found NWMA and knew right away that this was the place for me. The instructors here are first rate and cultivate a truly excellent culture among the students, while sharing their passion for training in martial arts. After becoming a passionate student myself I have recently gotten my son started training here with me and discovered that the kids classes are also excellent. My 8 year old son has never been so enthusiastic about athletics as he is about jiu jitsu and I'm really happy that he can train hard in an art that doesn't involve the risk of brain trauma associated with striking based martial arts. The instructors, facilities and community of students here are all great and make training at NWMA a perfect fit for me.

I'm coming up on a year as a member of NWMA, mostly in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program, but also dabble in kickboxing. I stayed in the BJJ fundamentals class for the first year and now i'm starting to dabble in the advanced BJJ classes and in the Sambo/Judo class. The fundamentals class provided a solid foundation and pathway into the advanced classes. To date, I've taken instruction from 5 different instructors. I had a background in rugby and really enjoy learning take-downs from standing. I also enjoy using rugby-style moves to "tackle" my training partners. I've definitely been schooled in my technique because rugby provides an avenue for a lot of forward and forceful movement whereas BJJ seeks more body control and "tumbling". I've been sat on, flipped, rolled over, and tapped countless times. Jiu jitsu is one of those sports where you need to be schooled and tapped out to get better. There's no other way to advance. I'm thankful to be a part of the gym, and i'm thankful for my training partners who I struggle with on the mat.
