Making an impact by being a leader in life-skills education in the Phoenix community.

Phoenix Martial Arts Instructor aims at being a leader in life-skills education in the Phoenix community. 


Leadership & Life Skills From Martial Arts Masters at USA Martial Arts Phoenix - Much More Than The Average Karate Kid Dojo!
Master Instructor John Nottingham of USA Martial Arts Phoenix is proud to announce the integration of the award-winning One Merit Badges is life skills and character education for children at its best. It's an innovative "Learn to Earn” character development system that enhances any learning environment that caters to children.
One Merit Badges teaches Phoenix students valuable life skills in an age-specific manner that is exciting and fun. It's also designed to educate your staff and parents as well to create a sense of community. This community support parents values to help raise their children to become contributing citizens and leaders of their peer groups.

The reason we chose One Merit Badges over others is that it is not simply task driven.  When I spoke to the founder Professor Beliso, he shared something that resonated with me.  It is based on a philosophy that through learning over time a habit is formed. Living, eating, breathing and using these skills on the mat, at home, at school it becomes a habit, a consistent choice of behavior that leads to a positive lifestyle. We want it to stick.
Rather than a temporary bribe just to get an immediate reward, this program recognizes choosing virtuous and noble behavior over time-when its real.  I want our students to have healthy, positive strong habits for life so they are the leaders of their peer groups and the true strength of America.   
As an Eagle Scout, veteran and teacher of thousands of men, women and children for the past 26 years, it spoke to my heart.  This is why USA Martial Arts continually strives to stand out in our community as a place for people to positively transform in  mind, body and spirit.  
We recognize that we're equipping and influencing the next generation of leaders, mothers, fathers, soldiers and citizens.  We're on the front lines of bullying prevention, teaching values, building strong minds and bodies and families. We take that role seriously.  This is one more tool in our efforts to accomplish our mission.
One Merit Badges is more than just colorful patches to motivate children. The character education program feature specific training materials for each badge with an interactive lesson where children and parents can enjoy learning together.  
USA Martial Arts Phoenix uses signs, videos, motivational posters and interesting stories to keep kids interested, learning and having fun.  Most importantly, it helps reinforce good values, virtues in an enjoyable manner while inspiring children to be their best! 
USA Martial Arts Phoenix teaches curriculum for a new patch with support materials each month to promote value beyond that of the average karate dojo or taekwondo school and keep children motivated.
USA Martial Arts Phoenix also includes it's award-winning evidence-based and research based programs that reduce bullying and school violence.
 Contact us today to make One Merit Badges your #1 choice for life skills education.

USA Martial Arts Phoenix on a Mission

When I set out to open my own martial arts school when I was a teenager I had several goals in mind. Now, a quarter century and 10,000 students later, that mission hasn't changed... but my perspective certainly has.

My goal was to make a different kind of martial arts school. One with all of the life affirming benefits that I had experienced in my early years.

  • Self-Discipline
  • Self-Control
  • Self-Confidence
  • Self-Defense

But those were just the foundation. I wanted to build a school where people could come to transform themselves. A martial arts school where you could learn a tradition but not be bound by it. If you wanted to specialize in an art, style or aspect of the martial arts, as you advanced you could.

I wanted to bring in world class experts and martial arts champions. To expose students to winning thinking for a better lifestyle and an edge in life. It would be a place where the lessons would go far beyond the kicking and punching. USA Martial Arts would be a safe-haven for men, women and children. It would be a place where families could spend quality time together doing meaningful and healthy exercise.

I've seen lots of phases in the martial arts industry come and go. From the Kung Fu phase, Ninja phase, Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, Taekwondo, and now MMA (Mixed Martial Arts as popularized by events such as the UFC and The Ultimate Fighter), they seem to shift every few years. It has been interesting to watch the amazing power that media has on public opinion.

While those things are exciting and I have studied and enjoyed most, they are not at the core of why I chose to devote my life to the teaching of martial arts and open USA Martial Arts. For me, it goes deeper - to the core of the individual. I see martial arts as a tool, a mechanism and vehicle for which we can positively influence the lives of students.

I have witness first hand the amazing improvements in confidence, social skills, improved grades, and more for children in martial arts. For adults in martial arts I have witnessed their body and mind transformations, losing weight, getting strong, earning promotions at work and even making positive new friends.

Ultimately, it is my most sincere wish that each student discover that they are a unique creation with his or her own special gifts and abilities. Through the earnest practice of martial arts they discover that they are far more powerful than they had ever imagined possible. In our school they can unleash their potential, find reservoirs of untapped strength that release joy and happiness.

To me, the study of martial arts has always been magical. It is a celebration of life that develops the mind, body and spirit in astounding ways that I have not seen in other activities, sports or hobbies. It changed my life and I know it can for you and many others. I hope you will consider trying it today, stopping by to see a class or meet some of our great students. We would love to have the opportunity to serve you.

We’re Not Competing With Other Martial Arts Schools

By http://usa-martialarts.com & KidsLoveMartialArtsPhoenix.com 

Much more than kicks, punches, blocks and throws.

When I started teaching martial arts at age 14 in my first teachers Taekwondo Kung Fu school I made up my mind that I was not ever in competition with other martial arts schools. Here I am 6 degrees of Black Belt and nearly 26 years later, having studied all over the world and taught thousands, still holding firm to that belief.


I love martial arts… all of them. I love martial artists.

We are all part of the same big family. It is in our diversity, each having our own gifts and abilities, that we have strength. We need every instructor and school to serve our communities in combating the issues men, women and children face these days.

I believe martial arts has the answers to so many of today’s problems that children and over-taxed adults encounter.


So what are we competing with?

Ignorance, glamorized violence, cruelty, bad manners, low self esteem, fear and self-doubt, poor health such as obesity, heart disease, undisciplined eating habits. If anything, we are competing with the ever-growing allure of stimulating video games and media that can influence an imbalance in life, disrupt healthy relationships and social skill development.

We’re competing with indifference in patriotism, a sense of community and fading American family values like serving a cause greater than one’s self. We’re competing with the disintegration of the family unit (because we provide a healthy activity the whole family can do together and reinforce respect at home).

Martial Arts can resolve these problems. There is no question it saves lives in self-defense situations as history clearly proves that. It is unparalleled in handling bullies and non-violent conflict resolution.  But more importantly, Martial Arts can equip people, especially the next generation, with the leadership skills, character, and a strong spirit to face challenges head-on in an ever changing world.

Where else can parents choose their child’s peer group and surround them with polite, goal oriented, values centered friends who are all engaged in a healthy lifestyle? It’s one stop shopping rather than being a Mom taxi toting the kids from one activity to another in hopes of gaining these essential skills.


We have thousands of letters on file from ecstatic parents touting the amazing transformational power of our martial arts program on their children. It goes so far beyond the kicks, punches, blocks and throws. That’s because our role-model instructors teach martial arts as a philosophy and load it with life skills through experiential learning.  Simply put, they walk the talk.

Why are more and more parents choosing martial arts? Because it works in a rapidly changing world and they want their kids to have the edge in school and life.


Consider martial arts for your family today. Even if it isn’t our school, find one that suits your goals and personality. Try a few out, watch a class and speak to the instructors. You may be surprised at the value you find.

Beware… it just might change your lives forever.
