Welcome To USA Martial Arts

Since 1992, USA Martial Arts has been offering award winning instruction in one of the most inspiring, exciting and practical methods of Martial Arts ever developed.  United by a powerful strategy, ancient wisdom and modern science, it draws upon the strengths of various styles to provide its students with a more comprehensive and effective education.   It has been featured in numerous publications and seen on Channels 3, 5, 10, 12 and the WB Network.  Headquartered in Glendale, Arizona, USA Martial Arts has produced champions in life as well as in Martial Arts.

Headed by John Nottingham (Hall of Fame inducted Master) and a staff of expert instructors and managers, including Rhonda Roth, Laura Templeman, Teresa Jenkins, John Martin, and Shawn O'Neill, USA Martial Arts offers a number of programs for physical fitness and instruction in Martial Arts that is good for both the mind and body.  USA Martial Arts offers much more than just kicking and punching.

much more than just kicking and punching

Martial Arts and Personal Development made Fun build Confidence, Character and Self esteem that leads to a Brighter Future.  For over 20 years, our family has done just that.

The success of the USA Martial Arts programs are the direct reflection of founder John Nottingham's pioneering spirit and genuine love for inspiring people. He opened the first USA Martial Arts in 1992; his concept was revolutionary.  He created an effective mixed martial arts program that would not only inspire men, women and children develop physically, but intellectually, emotionally and socially.

Master Nottingham's program was strictly non-violent, achievement-rather than competitively oriented, focusing on creating fun, inspirational, positive experiences.  The idea was to give men, women and children the confidence they needed for a lifetime of health, dignity and achievement.

Today's curriculum, still based on that founding mission, continues to be refined through the collective wisdom of the entire USA Martial Art family.  By integrating feedback from a dynamic group with diverse backgrounds, USA Martial Arts has set the standards for progressive Martial Arts training for personal development.

USA Martial Art's long, successful history and proactive commitment to improve, allows students and parents to feel assured that they are giving themselves and their children the very best foundation for life.

USA Martial Arts has now expanded to multiple locations, enabling them to make a difference in the lives of thousands and thousands of men, women and children.

 

Far beyond the average martial arts school

USA Martial Arts' unique system is a proprietary composite method of ancient philosophies, cutting-edge science and classical art forms with a strong emphasis on personal and moral development.  Synthesizing the concepts of science and strategic elements of many systems and styles, USA Martial Arts offers an effective, contemporary self-defense method for today's world while carrying on the tradition of the unique spirit and honor code of the noble Hwarang Knights, and Samurai. 

Using a unique strategy and uniting the strengths of linear and circular techniques, striking, kicking, trapping, takedowns, throws, joint manipulations, pressure points, ground defense and practical and exotic weapons, the curriculum is specifically designed to provide one of the finest martial arts educations available in the world.  Students develop an appreciation for all martial arts styles and tradition but are not bound by them.

 

World Class Education & Experience

We continually strive to host the finest trainers, Masters and Grandmasters to present a variety of educational opportunities for both staff and students.

Some of our guests have included: Four time Judo Olympian Mike Swain, World Champion David Douglas (West Coast Demo Team), Mixed Martial Arts Champion Ricco Rodriguez, JJ Machado (Chuck Norris Brazilian Jiu-jutsu teacher), Kenpo Shihan Dave Kovar, Jeet Kune Do & Filipino Martial Arts leader Paul Vunak (Navy SEAL trainer, trained by Dan Inosanto), Wade Allen (Jennifer Lopez' Krav Maga trainer) and more.  Our staff has attended training with such legends as: Tom Cruse (Jeet Kune Do SEAL Trainer) Tae Bo creator Billy Blanks, Kickboxing World Champion Benny "the Jet" Urquidez, Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, and Joe Lewis, full contact San Shou Champion Cung Le, stuntman "Judo" Gene LaBell and UFC Champion Royce Gracie and others. 

Although physical skills are important, our primary focus is personal achievement - excellence in character building and successful life skills through martial arts.  Students may not be attacked physically everyday, but most everyone is attacked mentally or emotionally. USA Martial Arts training is specifically designed to prepare students for day-to-day challenges they encounter and arm them with the attitude, inner strength, confidence and skills to prepare for success in any endeavor.                                                   More->
