NC Budo got its start in 2016 when Sensei Michael Baez and Sensei Jena Hare teamed up to launch their flagship martial arts center in Belmont, North Carolina. Michael and Jena’s vision is to share the lifelong benefits of martial arts with students of all ages. We now proudly serve students our state-of-the-art facility in Belmont, offering a variety of classes based on our guiding principles of mental discipline, emotional stability and physical conditioning. 

We’re excited to share our unique brand of martial arts instruction with Gaston County’s historic downtown communities! We look forward to helping you find your martial way.
