I absolutely love all the time that is put into each and every class. Sensei Aaron takes the time to get to know every kid and help them pinpoint what they need to work on. My son was having so much fun with karate that my husband and I decided to start doing it ourselves. Now all three of us cant help smiling all through class. I dont think we could have made a better choice as far as dojo goes.

Attended a birthday party here and the kids, 5 and 10, loved it. The set up was great and the instruction was suitable for beginners. The Sensei was tolerant but stern and handled the rambunctious kids with lots of patience. It was very laid back and comfortable. If I lived in Jacksonville I would definitely bring my kids here for lessons. Thanks for a great time.

Undoubtedly best experience you’ll ever have. From amazing trainers and classes to clean studios and professional work. Highly recommend

As humble as Mr Wright is himself, Im sure there will be many lessons learned for my son. Its a future in the making!

My family has been training here for a while now and we’ve had nothing but great experiences with the entire staff and members. My children learn karate and BJJ. They have developed great skills that can take them far in life. MA&M doesn’t just teach martial arts but they also teach lessons about respect, integrity, perseverance, responsibility and healthy habits. I love that they are confident and strong kids who believe in themselves. They have made the best of friends at this school. I love learning from the instructors here who teach everything from Muay Thai to fitness. If you’re ever unsure about training in BJJ or MMA, don’t be afraid to come here. This establishment has a healthy environment, full of knowledgeable instructors who help you attain your goals and make you feel comfortable and confident. I’m thoroughly enjoying my own training and love to learn everything that Sensei Wright & Martial Arts & More can teach me.

I was very satisfied with my first ever visit/training session. I felt like I was in a supportive and non judgmental environment. The instructor was very good I understood exactly what he wanted me to do and how he wanted me to do it. Overall martial arts and more is a great place to train experience or not and is definitely what Im looking for and is 100% what I have been looking for.

Martial arts and more is an excellent training environment, staff are experts, gym is clean, and they’re constantly putting on all sorts of events and seminars. If you’re in the Jacksonville, NC area look no further than MA&More

My 8 year old son loves it!! From the very first lesson we noticed how much the instructors truly care about each student & want to see them grow. Lots of positive encouragement to keep kids motivated & having fun at the same time. Great place!

My son loves going here! We signed him up last May and we started him out with the basic Karate program. We just last month upgraded his membership so he can have a well rounded experience by attending the black belt club, the Gracie Bully Proof program which my son has a blast in and he continues to attend the Karate classes. They offer everything at a fair price. Go check them out!!

Great job on the training. My 5 yo broke a board!

I have to say the environment has a great feeling about it as soon as you walk in. All of the employees are absolutely awesome and welcome you in as if your family. I wasn’t to sure about getting into kickboxing but I tried it and I’m hooked I couldn’t ask for a better group to work out with. Coach Chino is awesome he uses his own experiences while instructing, he has welcomed the whole group into his family. We were included in his engagement with his fiancé veronica. She also is extreme helpful with catching people up or assisting with instruction. I couldn’t ask for a better coach and place to go. Martial arts and more is a family friendly zone. If your interested look into it, drop in classes are $20 Monday and Wednesday.

I loved the family vibe of this business. So warm and welcoming. They definitely know what they are doing in this place! Highly recommend.

Enough could not be said about this place. Any martial arts training you want, while being surrounded by consistently supportive, encouraging and inspiring instructors and students that become another family. I highly recommend any class they have that fits your needs. You will NOT be disappointed. The daily fitness class at 5:30 is a great mix of all arts and is a great full body workout with positive comradery! Coach Chino’s kickboxing class on Mondays and Wednesdays at 7:30 is amazing, working with all levels of kickboxing from beginner to advanced, including step by step breakdowns and demonstrations, group and one on one application, and bagwork practice every class!

I love how welcoming everyone is as soon as you walk through the door! The atmosphere is so friendly and clean! The training I receive helps put into perspective what exactly I need to know when it comes to defending myself! I think it is also cool that they give you the opportunity to learn techniques with different the different weapons and gear! They also offer a womens only class which is very comforting especially if you are nervous about training in the first place! I cant wait to continue training with them in the hopes of receiving my black belt here!

Big thanks and much gratitude to the staff team at Martial Arts and More! The positive energy, welcoming smiles, and clear concern for customer service were not only inviting, but garnered my membership and the trust I require to include my families participation as well. Along with the joyful environment experienced, in speaking directly with the owner and practitioner of the martial arts himself, I immediately sensed a wealth of knowledge and wisdom I will personally gain from his mentorship and the instructions of the sensei’s I have met thus far. They don’t mess around in there either; leadership and that “grind” mentality was on display once scheduled lessons began. I highly recommend this place of business and look forward to a long stay of mutual gains and successes.

This is not a rating on their Martial arts for any age group, Im sure you do fine in your teachings. The classes I did go to were fine, the people were nice. I just wish the payments would go through you guys directly and not through another company. IF YOU SEND A LETTER TO CANCEL MAKE SURE ITS THROUGH CERTIFIED MAIL! The billing company will try to keep making you pay. Ask all the questions before you are ripped off. I hope this helps someone.

This school is the best around, hands down! The staff all work relentlessly to bring innovative, fun and exciting ways to keep people involved in a fit and active lifestyle while providing the tools for people to develope into disciplined, proactive and goal oriented leaders for themselves and their community! They offer everything from traditional karate, hybrid styles, boxing, kickboxing, mma, fitness, jiu jitsu as well as special events that anyone can enjoy! Its a very welcoming place that anyone can feel right at home with! Their programs are also nationally recognized and all ranks earned are honored at every participating location in the event that you have to move for any reason, so nobody should have to start over or prove themselves to multiple gyms for any ranks theyve already earned! Cant say enough good about it, if youre in the area, you should really stop in and check it out!

My 5 year old takes all the different forms of martial arts available at this school and I am more and more impressed every time! In just a few weeks I am seeing a change in her confidence. The instructors are all so great. They are able to teach a 15 year old and a 5 year old the same move by showing them in a way they will understand. We love it here!

I love that Martial Arts and More focuses on creating leaders in the building and outside the building. The students must preform at home, at school and on the mat. The staff is also amazing! Ive never been somewhere where all the instructors know all of the kids names, it makes for a personal experience every time we are there!

My 9 yr old son and 3 yrs old daughter love going to their karate class. Such an improvement in my sons confidence. The instructors are all very professional but make the classes fun for the kids.

My son loves going to classes and learning lots of techniques on his path to being a black belt! We started out on the basic program and recently moved up to the black belt club because the instructors have instilled a confidence in my son. They are knowledgeable and sincere at every class with every child.

In regards to the children’s classes, I felt like it was all a way to rob parents of money. On top of paying for the children’s tuition you are urged to by gear almost monthly. After paying my fees to cancel early, my card was charged once more. I messaged to get an understanding of what the change was for and received no reply. They seem to be in it solely for the money... find Somewhere that cares more about training.

My son loves it here and is committed to his training.

The best MARTIAL ARTS Gym in the Area Over All!💯

Both my kids enjoy coming, learning, gaining abilities, and helping their friends.

Great classes and environment and staff! We love the Kickboxing class with Coach Chino, MMA, and the Gracie jiu jitsu as well!

Ive always enjoyed being there. The staff really works with you if youre having a hard time and the character education program has really helped with my nieces at home and at school. There are so many different styles for you to choose from. Ive made many friends there. Soccer, basketball, etc are great and fun to do but I think kids/teens would benefit from this sport more in multiple ways.

My son has attended Martial Arts and More for approximately four months. Mr. Wright, as well as most of his team, provide quality instruction and guidance to members. The staff members are well trained in all areas of martial arts.

If you are looking for a martial arts studio that understands how to have fun while teaching confidence and discipline, Martial Arts and More is the place to go. The staff and instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, and my children thrive in the environment they create, looking forward to classes everyday. My children enjoy both the karate and jiujitsu classes offered, and my husband and I train jiujitsu as well, making it the perfect family activity.

Great school! Staff is very knowledgable and friendly. As a martial arts professional I was very impressed with the quality of the curriculum here. They truly work to develop students into being the best they possibly can. Looking for something different for everyone in the house? This is a great place for families to train together and for individuals to grow personally. Martial Arts and More offers something for everyone; every skill level, every fitness goal, and every martial arts goal can all be achieved here. The classes vary from Parent and Me classes to MMA to Cage Fitness to Boxing and much more! All classes are taught by highly trained and very professional staff members.

My experience as one of the students- Martial Arts & More is the one place everyday I look forward to going everyday.I learn a lot every class and the way the sensais teach its fun and memorable along with the self-discipline. They also have fun activities outside of the classes such as star parties where you can bring friends and as senai says if you dont have any buy get a job and buy some. They have pizza and we play games, there are holiday parties in which have more games food and fun and parents night out when parents can drop their kids off and have some alone time. In addition to all that awesomeness they have promotion camps and you can most likely get promoted there too. Martial Arts & More is a good place to be so why not add it on to the things youve done in your life.

My son has really enjoyed taking classes there and the teachers work with the kids... im impressed!

Amazing atmosphere to learn in. Not intimidating or overinflated egos but genuinely caring staff.

My son has attended this school for a year now, and he absolutely loves it! In just one short year he has learned so much in both karate and Jiu Jitsu. He honestly can’t get enough of the place. 5 stars all the way!

This Martial Arts center is by far one of the best and most professional in the area without a doubt! We also love how affordable it is for our family, though honestly at any cost I would continue to have my daughter attend classes here! My 4 yr old was once a wild and crazy child and Sensei Nohelia helped her with kindness and discipline become a very respectful young lady again! I love how structured and educational each class is and my daughter just keeps wanting more! Thanks again you guys!!!

My children (3) have been coming to Martial Arts and More (Jacksonville) since 2013. I initially signed two of my children for introductory karate classes and the oldest child in the Masters Club program. All three loved it there.The two older children have moved on. Our youngest son switched to Gracie Kids. He loves Ju-Jitsu and is really thriving there. My son is being challenged to put forth his best effort and be an outstanding leader. His Sensei is an incredible instructor.I highly recommend Martial Arts and More as a place where your children can develop themselves physically and develop good character.

The Pancrase program is very good. A perfect mix of strikes, takedowns and ground work.

Textbook McDojo, not sure whom it was in the Gracie clan that endorsed anyone here, but it was clearly a mistake. There are far better options in the Jacksonville area.

I have trained at other facilities over the years and Martial Arts and More is by far the best! I have been training at Martial Arts and More for approximately 8 months in Kempo Karate and several months in BJJ and I am hooked. Sensei Wright and Sensei Nate are extremely knowledge and talented Martial Artist. My 2 year old daughter and I are also in the Parent and Me class. I highly recommend this class.

Just took my first introduction class to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Nate last night and afterwards knew i wanted more. Great environment and people!

I have been a member of Martial Arts and More (formerly Wrights Extreme Karate) for well over four years. I signed my son up because of his interest in Karate under the basic program. Mr. Wright then talked to us about Brandon doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Mauy Thai and boxing. Brandon enjoyed it such much that we checked into the prices and they didnt cost no more than we were already paying, so we became part of the Masters Club as a family.Roughly after six month my other two kids decided they wanted to try the karate program, so between them playing soccer, we managed to get them involved. Well a long story short both my soccer players have become Martial Artist full time.I now have a 16 year old black belt in karate and future blue belt in BJJ and recently promoted green belt in Judo, and two green belts who are diligently working towards their black belt. One of those green belts, my 12 year old daughter has been training in BJJ and this past weekend has now decided to try Judo.Mr. Wright has made my kids feel like a part of his family. The one trait I do enjoy about him and his staff. knowing each time my family walks through those doors we are greeted with smiles and hellos.Any parents out there that wants to help build their childs confidence in themselves should give Martial Arts a try. I know the staff here at Martial Arts and More is very helpful and understanding and are willing to work with anyone.I highly recommend parents to get your kids involved in Martial Arts for their confidence and the ability to protect themselves in the need arises. I know I feel safer knowing my 12 year old daughter can take care of her self, especially in todays society.Most dojos in this area do train in the Martial Arts in the form of BJJ, but if you want to do the whole package: Karate, BJJ, Judo, Mauy Thai, fitness programs, kick boxing and boxing, I recommended you give Mr. Wright and his staff a shot.

Well I have been at Wrights Extreme Martial Arts ( Which is now called Martial Arts and More) since 2010. They have excepted my entire family with open arms especially my son Julian who is diagnosis with Autism. This is a Family friendly environment. I started training in Kempo karate and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2010. Now in 2014 I am their first ever woman promoted to blue belt in brazilian Jiu Jitsu at the school and a certified Black Belt instructor who also teaches at the school. My husband is also a Blue Belt in Brailian Jiu Jitsu and a Green Belt in Kempo karate. My daughter is an Orange Belt in Kempo Karate and my son has two yellow Stripes on his white belt as well. I really love this school because it has gradually made me a better person and my family closer. I really suggest that everyone here in town comes and checks out our school it will change your life in everything and anything you do in life.

Dont. Trust me.

Beware of this clown show!

This place is very lousy.
