MEET Master Nick Cotellese
Owner & Head Instructor at Phoenix Martial Arts
Nick Cotellese didn’t open Phoenix Martial Arts to collect trophies or titles — he opened it to help people
become stronger, more confident, and more disciplined versions of themselves.
With over 40 years of experience in martial arts, Nick has trained students of all ages to move better, think clearer, and show up with confidence — both on the mat and in everyday life. His coaching style focuses on
structure, accountability, and personal growth, not intimidation or ego.
At Phoenix, Nick emphasizes what truly matters:
Discipline over shortcuts, effort over excuses, and progress over perfection. Every class is designed to help students build confidence, resilience, and character they can carry into school, work, and family life.
Nick believes martial arts should
change how you live, not just how you kick — and that belief shapes everything we do at Phoenix Martial Arts.
We exist because people don’t walk in broken — they walk in unfinished. Our job is to help them leave stronger than they arrived.
How Phoenix Martial Arts Helps You Grow - On and Off the Mats
Phoenix Martial Arts is more than a workout. It’s a structured system for building confidence, discipline, and resilience that shows up in real life.
Whether your goal is to get stronger, feel more confident, reduce stress, or learn practical self-defense, our classes are designed to meet you where you are and help you rise from there. Every lesson blends physical training with mindset, accountability, and personal growth — guided by instructors who genuinely care about your progress.
You won’t just learn Taekwondo here.
You’ll build habits, confidence, and strength that carry into everything you do.
What Makes Phoenix Martial Arts Different
Learning martial arts should be effective, challenging, and something you actually look forward to — not intimidating or one-size-fits-all.
At Phoenix Martial Arts, we teach with purpose. Every class blends structured instruction, positive coaching, and clear expectations so students don’t just learn techniques — they grow in confidence, discipline, and resilience.
Our instructors meet students where they are, push them when they’re ready, and support them every step of the way.
This isn’t about memorizing moves.
It’s about becoming stronger — physically, mentally, and emotionally — in an environment where effort is recognized and progress is earned.
