Nathaniel grew up in the Mystic Projects of Somerville, getting into trouble and chasing attention. But one day, picking up his sister from karate class, he discovered something that changed everything. He trained hard, earned his black belt by 16, won a world championship, and competed in nearly 80 tournaments. Today, he’s thriving—all thanks to the lessons he learned at BMAC. This is the power of martial arts. This is what we do.
