My family has been training with USA Martial Arts and 7th Dan Master John Nottingham since March 2011.

He is confident, happy, encouraging to others, thoughtful and caring and does extremely well in school. Our 3.5 year old son is proud to be in the Little Tigers (ages 3-6) program and our 10 month old son will one day follow suit.\r

We're also going to take part in the life-saving tactical programs offered, such as their IMPACT and VIPER self- defense programs.\r
