It’s our goal to help you develop discipline, self‑esteem, focus, physical fitness and, of course, your ability to defend yourself through the traditional Japanese martial art of Jiu‑Jitsu.

Since 1979, the Nokado School of Self‑Defense has been King Park’s premier martial arts center. We provide our students with the highest quality martial art instruction, professionalism, and service in the industry, simultaneously improving our community in the process. To achieve our goals, we have implemented age-specific programs that cater to the individual needs of our members. Our school has students of all ages, with interests varying from stress relief and health to the intense training and techniques that the traditional martial arts are famous for. We arrange every aspect of our center to foster a balanced relationship of trust and respect with our students. Our training offers discipline and character building in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where you will immediately feel comfortable. You can learn more about our school, our style of martial arts, and the owner and head instructor, Shihan Mike Saltzman, by visiting our About Us page.

My child is a member and we are having a wonderful experience with Shihan Mike and the teaching staff...

They are extremely welcoming, kind to new-comers, and clearly care about each member. Shihan has been a great coach and provides feedback often, helping my child learn very quickly. I appreciate how he balances connecting with the kids, coaching on the skills, and teaching them important principles like listening, following direction, etc. I highly recommend Nokado and feel fortunate to have such a great place in our community!

My son has been studying Jiu Jitsu here for almost 3 years. He has grown so much physically, mentally and socially. The instructors care about the craft they teach and about each student. The Nokado environment is like no other dojo in the area (and trust me we tried a few before landing here and knowing this was the place).
