My daughter is on her second year with the National Karate after school program and it has been a saving grace to us and our tiny girl.

Coach Nate is exceptional. He doesn't just teach MMA skills. They learn confidence, rules, manners, respect, and overall, how to be a successful person.

Both coaches take time to make sure everyone is learning the concepts that are being shown. Our son loves his class and learning the different disciplines of martial arts.

We are thrilled that the coaches reinforce our philosophies of showing respect and living with honor and integrity both inside and outside of the studio.

Nate was my instructor for 11 years and I was his assistant coach for 5. I can honestly say that he is not only an excellent martial artist/instructor but an amazing role model for his students! I highly recommend National Karate MMA/West Ashley to anyone looking to begin or grow in their journey as a martial artist!

Excellent classes for kids and adults. Instruction is superb! Coach Nate and the NKMMA team are very much involved and genuinely care about the children in their care and the families that have chosen NKMMA. The after school and summer camp program is full of activities, fun learning and great MMA classes.

My daughter loved Coach Nate and he always pushed her to her maximum potential. We hated to see him go, but knew he had big plans. Highly recommended.

Nate is the best of the best. He was my karate instructor from age 5-15, and although he has a wicked martial arts mind, he taught me more about life and core values than I could’ve ever imagined, which absolutely shaped me into the person I am today. 100% recommend. Amazing instructor, insanely skilled, but an even better person!! Check his new place out!!

Coach Nathan Windsor taught my son Karate for 5+ years. Coach Nathan's instruction was not only top notch, he also was a great role model for my son. Coach Nathan made karate interesting and fun for him also.

Nate was my coach for over 10 years and is an instructor that has an incredible attention to detail and the drive to help his students reach their maximum potential. Any business of his will be organized, professional, and the best of the best; just like him. If you have the opportunity to train here, I highly recommend it. Working with Nate helped to shape me into the man of character, and martial artist that I am now.

Mitchell Tanner, Facebook

I haven’t been to this new school, but Nate was my coach from the time I was 7 to the time I was 18. What I learned went beyond karate as he also made sure to teach us honor and respect. He’s a great coach and anyone would be lucky to take lessons from him. I highly recommend.

One of the most professional, passionate and respectful coaches that I know, it has been a honor to be one of your "oldest" students... Simple... one of the best Coach Nate....👍

This Striking instructor is Grade A. This modernized system of karate is being successfully utilized by a lot of UFC fighters and gives a technical fighters alternative to the brut force stand and bang striking tactics of old. If I was across from this man in a kickboxing fight, I know it would be like locking me in a cage with a lion. Train Here West Ashley.

Have been bringing my daughter here for years and couldn't be more happy.

Coach Nathan Windsor is straight out of SMA like the other awesome instructors in the National Karate MMA group. He grew up in the dojo and became one of our top students early on. He represented our school at the highest level of competitive sport karate and earned spots on nationally sponsored fight teams. Coach Nate trained with and competed with some of the best martial artists in the world. He knows what it takes to become a great Black Belt. You have to be one to make one. Of all the students I have taught in the last 25 years (thousands by now) Nathan Windsor is still the best “kicker” to ever walk through my doors. He is part of the “one percent” that can make it look so easy that it beautiful to watch. Some people can tell you how to do it, Coach Windsor can show you how to do it. The quality of instruction at this school will be superior because of the great experience Coach Windsor has in martial arts as a student, competitor and teacher. He served as a lead instructor at SMA for over 10 years and earned rank of 4th degree Black Belt. He has taught children and adults of all ages from White Belt to Black Belt. He will be a great role model and inspirational “life coach” to his students.
