Ninja Academy of Martial Arts 1171 62nd Avenue North, St. Petersburg, FL 33702

"Coach Jay is a master of his craft. He has coached 2 of my kids and it has greatly improved their confidence as well as their disipline outside of the gym. I couldnt recommend his facility enough. He has a great team and is able to resonate with the kids, mixing fun activities with practical and effective MMA training, particularly with the younger ones that have a harder time at the beginning of their training journey."

"My 5 year old daughter started here a few months ago. It's perfect for teaching respect, discipline, and structure. The Coaches are patient and truly help give these kids guidance."

"I don’t even know where to start but in a nut shell, my husband and I both think Coach Jay is extraordinary and Ninja Academy has been such a blessing for our family! Our elementary age kids (son and daughter) did the summer program this past summer and they loved it so much that I cancelled weeks of another summer camp so they could stay here and have since enrolled them in the afterschool program and MMA classes for during the school year. Coach Jay has a great sense of humor, can effortlessly handle more kids than anyone I’ve ever seen, and he seems to really love being with them all day. He also must really like working because the place is almost always open for camps and classes even on days and weeks when school is out, which is super convenient for working parents. Also, my kids are turning into awesome little ninjas."

"Ninja academy is amazing. Coach Jay is a great coach and mentor. He is so patient and kind. Both boys AND girls are welcome. The aftercare is a life saver and the skills coach Jay teaches the kids are going to stick with them for life. Both my kids look up to Coach Jay. My girl wants to be a blackbelt! Wow. Thanks coach Jay."

"I have been beyond pleased with Ninja Academy. Coach Jay is an outstanding teacher and role mode. He connects effortlessly with kids, making classes both educational and enjoyable. He is firm and teaches the kids in a fun and structured environment. Coach Jay instills discipline and respect in all students, fostering a positive environment. Since joining Ninja Academy, my child has grown more focused, confident, and respectful. Ninja Academy also fosters a strong sense of community, encouraging parental involvement and activities. My son's best friends are all from Ninja Academy. He has attended after care and has classes for almost 3 years now. Additionally, he loves day camp, summer camp, and looks forward to the Halloween event Coach Jay puts together every year. Ninja Academy, under Coach Jay's guidance, offers a supportive environment for kids to grow both physically and mentally. It has had a profoundly positive impact on my child, and I highly recommend it to parents seeking martial arts training that cultivates skills and character all while having fun!"
