Our History
Founded in 2007, The Martial Arts Academy of Southern Pines began as a small school on Bennett Street with three passionate martial artists - Dan Dorton, Melanie Wyatt, and Roy Marsh. Each brought unique expertise and a shared vision: to create a world-class martial arts academy in Southern Pines, NC.
Over the years, our academy has grown alongside our student base. We’ve outgrown several facilities before establishing our current state-of-the-art location. With each stage of growth, we’ve continued to expand our programs, refine our curriculum, and add more expert instructors to meet the needs of our community.
Today, we are proud to be the go-to martial arts academy in Southern Pines, Pinehurst, and the surrounding Sandhills area, providing training that helps students not just improve their martial arts skills but also their focus, confidence, and everyday life.
