Prepare Your Teen For their Next Stage in Life.
Teenagers are smart and capable – but they can also be their own worst enemies. Between peer pressure, their innate urge to rebel against their parents, and their surging hormones, they can be impossible to be around. But all they need is an outlet for their frustrations – and an opportunity to learn how to be their best.

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!
Committment
Muay Thai teaches teens commitment and follow through
teens typically have great capacity for agility, and technically, but they can be lazy which leads them to not live up to their potential.
At this age, teens may be prone to not put effort into their activities and do the minimum.
In our teen martial arts program we get them to understand their potential and to value precision and to pay attention to details .
Self-Defense
REAL SELF-DEFENSE FOR THE REAL WORLD
Muay Thai is known as the king of the ring. It has proven itself for hundreds of years in kickboxing-style competitions and also in the last few years in MMA (mixed martial arts like the UFC and One Fighting Championships) and if it can teach people to deal with other trained fighters; your teen will easily be able to handle the local bully. Whereas karate and similar arts spend a lot of time on forms; pre-arranged dance-like choreographed sequences that have very little to do with fighting skills or self-defense.
Fitness
fun-ctional Fitness
It seems like your teenager would rather spend all day playing video games or scrolling through social media.
our Muay Thai Martial arts classes provide teens with a challenging workouts in a fun, social setting that will help create a fitness lifestyle they can take with them for the rest of their lives. While learning skills that could save their life one day.
Success
Muay Thai help set up your teen for success in life
Teens tend to think of the short term and not seem not to care about planning for the future.
Our teen Muay Thai program will help up your teenager learn to make short and log term goals and understand the steps they need to accomplish to get there. they will also have a supportive peer group and coaches encouraging them along the way!
Peer pressure plays a big role in a teens life, and they often worry about what others think.
We teach your teenager to care less about what other people think of them and more about staying oncourse and accomplishing what they want to achieve and the people they want to become..

Michael DeMartino
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.
