Master Israel Nava
Owner & Head Instructor
Founder and Head Instructor of Nava's Martial Arts Academy in North Plainfield, NJ.
I'm the owner of Nava's Martial Arts Academy. When I was a child, I began my martial arts journey, and the positive impact it had on my life was remarkable. It was always my dream to someday open my own school and pass on the skills, knowledge, and inspiration that martial arts has given to me. Now, I proudly serve the North Plainfield community and feel an overwhelming sense of pride and humility when I see our students grow into happier, healthier, and more confident children, teens, and adults. At Nava's Martial Arts Academy, our programs emphasize discipline, confidence, and self-defense, helping students develop both physically and mentally.
I look forward to welcoming you to our family. Thank you, Master Israel Nava Nava's Martial Arts Academy
