KSK Martial Arts

KSK Martial Arts is a fantastic facility. The instruction is top of the line and all students are treated with extreme respect. Guro Kent works very diligently to keep all of techniques fresh and new. From the six year olds to the sixty year olds, this school has something for everyone!

My kid has been going to KSK for four years now. He has grown and enjoys going to class every week. KSK is a great atmosphere and helps build self confidence.

My two sons (ages 6 and 7) started at KSK in August, 2016. They have grown in countless ways! I was so impressed by the quality of their instruction that I (and my husband) joined in November.Guro Kent has helped me in countless ways. I suffer from anxiety, and he is endlessly patient with that. I have been sexually assaulted in the past, and he has helped me to feel safe, respected, and calm during class. I have been able to build a level of trust and self-confidence that I never dreamed possible before finding KSK. I no longer feel like a victim. That is worth more than anything else I could possibly say.KSK is not just some place you go to learn to be tough. It is much, much more. It feels like a family, and I am so very grateful to be a part of it, and to be welcomed back each and every time I walk through the door.

I know this academy works hard everyday to make KSK a friendly, inviting atmosphere to learn self defense! Guro Kent Nelson has always been very warm and kind to people around him, particularly his students! Keep doing what you're doing, Sir, because you are an excellent resource in your community!

I have known Guru Kent for many years and am continually impressed by his acceptance and genuine enthusiasm for the growth of the individual, regardless of race, religion, orientation, etc. Not only have I had him give private training to my son and daughter, but have also had him give two separate personal safety presentations to the parents in my "Mommy & Me" class. Both of my children and the parents in my class had abundant praise about their experience. Thanks to Guru Kent for being "One of the GOOD ones!"

I attended a Women's Self Defense seminar at KSK several years ago, and I was instantly impressed by the level of courtesy and professionalism shown by Guro Kent and his team. The following year, my two teens and I began training regularly. We have loved training at KSK because Guro Kent sets a high expectation for his students while treating each student with dignity and respect.My daughter will start college in the fall, and even though she has been training at KSK for several years, I wanted her to have focused, individualized self-defense training for sexual assault situations. Guro Kent recently tackled some pretty sensitive self-defense topics with her, and I wouldn’t have trusted this type of training to anyone else.If you are looking for a martial arts studio where you can come as you are and leave empowered with new skill and confidence, then KSK is the place for you.

I have trained at KSK Martial Arts for a number of years. Even though as a young woman I was often in the minority (most of the members are men), I always felt very welcome and safe. Everyone who trains at KSK is welcoming and supportive of each other member. Guro Kent, the main instructor at KSK, especially makes sure all members and visitors alike feel welcome, learn real, applicable self-defense techniques, and have a great time. I would definitely recommend this training studio to anyone looking to learn real self-defense techniques or just meet some truly awesome and fun people. The only reason I don't train here anymore is because I moved away to college!

KSK is a welcoming and positive environment to train martial arts regardless of age, skill level or your particular goals. Guro Kent has created a truly awesome curriculum that is not only valuable but fun. The instructor staff is knowledgeable and speculatively have lifetimes of cumulative experience, a couple might be wizards. The best part is the people you get to train with, a great group who are gonna get better by making you better and keeping things safe. Come....Train with me.

I dropped In at KSK while visiting lansing on a business trip. I could not be happier about my experience. Kent is incredibly nice and knowledable and so are his students. My martial arts experience is BJJ but I fit in perfectly and learned a handful of solid techniques in a short amount of time. I STRONGLY recommend KSK to anyone visiting or lansing residents. I'm jealous of those who call this gym home. I hope to be back in the future. Thank you for having me.

Knowledgeable, great at breaking down concepts and teaching for understanding. Inviting atmosphere with incredible people to work with. Promotes an atmosphere of unity, collaboration, and success!
