About Me
A FEW WORDS FROM
Dave Dow
I’m Dave Dow, the Owner here at NAK Martial Arts.
I founded NAK Martial Arts with a passion for teaching kids martial arts in a safe environment, and to empower them to learn life-skills that will carry them well into adulthood.
Now, NAK Martial Arts is proud to be one of the FEW schools in Tennessee that requires their instructors to complete a full certification course, prior to being allowed to lead a class.
In fact, that’s why NAK Martial Arts trains some of the highest-class martial arts students in the state (and we’re pretty proud of that fact!)…
That said, it isn’t all about the punching and kicking! Our NAK Martial Arts unique Powerful Character Development program has been proven to help kids learn valuable life skills that can be applied in every aspect of their life to help them achieve success.
While many martial art schools talk about confidence and leadership…our students ACTIVELY complete real life skill activities and drills to prepare them to land the best opportunities available!
RAISING CHILDREN
THE DIFFICULTIES OF RAISING CHILDREN ARE NEAR ENDLESS
Kids that are 5-6 years old have slightly more control than younger kids, but they still have a lot to learn when it comes to controlling themselves, their bodies, and their emotions. They’re intellectually curious, but they need to learn in a disciplined setting.
Our program gives kids the tools they need to succeed later in life. They learn the importance of self-discipline and control.
fitness and balance
Martial arts HELPS YOUNG CHILDREN DEVELOP PHYSICAL FITNESS AND BALANCE
Young children struggle to control their bodies when they’re walking or running. the martial arts skills taught in our Lil NAK program , Preschool Muay Thai program help them build muscle and improve their coordination. their balance and physical self control will increase dramatically.
Focus
MARTIAL ARTS HELPS KIDS improve their focus
Getting young kids to pay attention can feel like an impossible task. The structure of our martial arts classes shows kids the importance of focus and teaches them by having them apply it to easily-achievable tasks.
The focus they learn in the dojo is something they’ll take home – and into the classroom. That’s why kids who study martial arts tend to be good students, too.
self-defense
OUR LIL NAK PROGRAM TEACHES STUDENTS HOW TO STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES
Martial arts INSTILLS YOUNG KIDS WITH CONFIDENCE
We never want our kids to have to use these skills in modern life, but every good parent still wants their kids to be safe.
That’s why our martial arts training is very serious about teaching your kids the skills needed for self-protection in any circumstance, from the neighborhood bully to a stranger on the street (and so much more).
But knowing how to defend oneself is only half the battle. Our classes teach your child the respect and self-discipline needed to diffuse a situation without violence whenever possible – as well as the knowledge to know when force is the only way to safety.
GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
MARTIAL ARTS iNSTILLS GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP and Teamwork
EYoung kids tend to be VERY competitive and they don’t handle losing at all. We teach kids how to work with others and that you either win or you LEARN, because if you learn something you never lose.
Even though martial arts, especially kickboxing and Muay Thai is an individual sport, we foster an environment of teamwork and cooperation on and off the mat.

My son is 8 and has been training with Master Dow for four years now. We like the progression based system that Master Dow employees because it provides his young students short term mile stones and associated goals. We also like Master Dow because he demands respect and attention from his young students
Mimi Nartey
Since he's done the program I've noticed that Lincoln is really strong powerful he actually really stands out from his peers because he's very strong and athletic this awesome got great agility and balance but besides those physical things. Lincoln is he's actually winning an award in reading which has been encouraged through the homework that we've done here and he had a lot more confidence he was a little bit shy. definitely the program has benefitted him in many ways

My 6- and 8-year old have been attending Classes since Jan. 2009. They love going to their "class" 2-3x per week. It is truly a unique martial arts school in that it continually tries to teach and encourage children to be respectful, responsible as well as how to be a team player.
