North Country Martial Arts Academy

I trained here while earning my degree at Clarkson University! Amazing stress relief from school, along with a great community! The North Country is lucky to have the jujitsu knowledge of Spencer!

My son Liam joined after a demonstration Spencer Paige put on at a local festival. He loves the class and raves about the instructors. The classes I have been able to attend, they are small but interactive.

My 9 year old joined over a year ago and I have been so impressed from day 1. The patience all of the members have for the younger students is amazing. These kids learn jiu jitsu while building friendships. It is a great place to be!

I've been doing BJJ and MMA for about 10 years. I've been to gyms all over the world and have been able to train with some of the best athletes in the sport. Spencer is as high quality of an athlete as they come. He has a legitimate pedigree, being coached under George St. Pierre and John Danaher. Spencer's other profession as a teacher has allowed him to effectively translate his martial arts knowledge to kids an adults. Spencer is the only legitimate martial artist in the area. I highly recommend North Country Martial Arts for all ages. The kids program is very well run, with an excellent teacher-student ratio. The adult program has a great mix of beginner and advance training options. You're doing yourself a disservice by not enrolling.

Spencer is a role model Martial Artist and figure in his community. This is a great school for all levels and age groups. Friendly welcoming environment!

Everything the North Country needs. Professional teaching, great talent to roll with, and a great atmosphere. Bring your kids once and they will be hooked and you will have done them a huge favor as a parent. If you're older, do yourself the same favor. It's never too late.

I've been training here on and off for four years now and the experience has been exceptional. Spencer is a great martial artist and instructor. The people that train here are friendly and welcoming to new comers. I can't recommend it enough!

Great school for kids and adults of all experience levels. can’t wait to see where this new home takes things! Spencer Paige brings decades of martial arts training coupled with his experience as an educator and a practitioner of functional patterns fitness to give his students a level of instruction second to none in the sport of BJJ. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

When I was a kid, I was always interested in learning martial arts. It wasn't in the cards for me at that time but the interest stuck with me over the years.After moving to the north country some years ago I learned about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a non-striking but highly effective martial art.I wan't expecting to find anywhere to train within a reasonable driving distance, but to my surprise there was a local dojo. One snowy Saturday I went to go check it out.What I found was a community of highly skilled individuals led by Spencer Paige, a world class practitioner of BJJ, and mixed martial arts. Under the guidance of Mr. Paige, the community has flourished.With my work and family commitments, I can't train as often as I'd otherwise like but even so, the atmosphere is very supportive and I'm always glad that I came.The new home of North Country Martial Arts is beautiful and will serve to enhance the training experience even more.

My 2 kids have taken classes with Spencer for several years. My son started when he was around 7 or 8, and my daughter even started when she was 6. Spencer is a great teacher and really helps the kids enjoy and understand. They love going to train.
