About Us:
Our goal at North Country Martial Arts Academy is to create individuals who believe in themselves and don’t shy away from new experiences. Our top-quality Jiu Jitsu classes serve as an example that something new is always worth trying. Jiu Jitsu in Norfolk can be hard to come by. But we have the only black belt instructor within a 90 minute drive and strive to create more martial artists of that level. Our classes are taught by Spencer Paige, human biomechanical specialist and level 1 coach. Along with Jiu Jitsu programs, we offer the Functional Patterns personal training service to ensure our students grow strong and mighty.
Our History:
North Country Martial Arts Academy owner Spencer Paige had trained for several years away from Norfolk before returning to his hometown and continuing his martial arts journey. Unfortunately there were no Jiu Jitsu academies in Norfolk for Spencer to carry out his training, so he took matters into his own hands. Starting in a garage, North Country Martial Arts Academy evolved into its own academy and became Spencer’s full-time job in June 2023. With his established building he aims to expand his BJJ programs north of New York City and share the joy of Jiu Jitsu with children and adults alike.
