Martial Arts Schools near Berwyn Heights

“Pete and Matt have a great self defense class. They give you a bunch of strategies, techniques, tips and lots of practice.“

“Great place kids to get out of their comfort zone. Burns their energy and teaches them respect.“

“Jim is wonderful! He is so kind, skillful, and patient. We're doing one on one sessions and the skills he teaches can be used immediately in real world applications and it's a blast! Highly recommend!“

“I’ve had the pleasure of training with Sifu Michael, and I respect how seriously he takes his craft and how he shares his knowledge.

It is a serious environment with no goofing off, but it’s never to a point where one has to walk on eggshells.

It’s also a great community with enthusiastic people who all train for different reasons. I will say that it may be difficult to simultaneously train in another school, since the principles of wing chun are specific, although I’ve met people who’ve managed to make that work for themselves.

Highly recommended“

“We have a 15 year old daughter and 14 year old son on the Sparring Team at King Tiger for over a year, they really love the team and have many friends, we have been to several competitions. Lots of fun at summer camp for the last 2 summers as well. Master Kim is very good with the kids, encouraging and patient. We have found a great dogang for the kids to stay healthy, competitive, and have fun.“

“He is a really caring instructor and quite flexible with making sessions accessible. I am learning a lot with him and I would recommend“

“My son is thriving here! Mr. Esau is patient and knowledgeable and FAIR. He holds the children accountable without being cruel. This is a nurturing environment.
My son has ADHD and he is able to keep up and not get bored. Also, they have other team building activities. Today was the countdown to 12 noon (this is being posted on New Years Eve). We didn't get to go since we were out of town, but this was a genius idea and super cute.“

“We have been at Klotz Karate for 5 years and it has been an AWESOME experience! The mixture of martial arts has kept things interesting and more useful for real life. The instructors and owner know everyone and are very positive and patient. The ability to be self paced but encouraged to progress is terrific. They have helped my son in so many areas including self confidence, leadership, maturity, patience, strength, coordination, balance, discipline, and friendship. We highly recommend Klotz Karate!!“

“I have been to The Capoeira Spot before back when I was 6 and I went with my family and I stop going when I was a purple belt and my Capoeira name is Coruja meaning Owl“

“Awesome instructors. I love the adult class, I feel like I get stronger (physically, mentally, and emotionally) with every lesson.“

“Amazing Krav community with unlimited daily trainings and workshops, all instructors are great, for both beginners and experienced students. Love it so much!!!“

“If you want to build muscle, burn fat and have fun you NEED to sign up for Kareemah’s classes at Roda Movement. Kareemah is brilliant in designing exercises that target those small and big muscles all over your body (and esp the core). She seldom repeats her routine so you won’t feel bored of the same exercises. Because I have very tight hamstrings, and others in class may have weaker knees, she is clued in and attentive and will suggest modifications. I am convinced that I have gotten stronger and leaner as a result of Kareemah’s classes!“

“I started training at Barro Vermelho 8 years ago after moving to DC. I had done a few years of capoeira regional before. I looked around and tried classes at a couple of places, but ultimately chose BV because of the great community. Friendly students, and a very open, non-hierarchical or stand-offish group. Mestre Bomba is very accessible, and easy to talk to. Also very relaxed compared to some capoeira mestres out there.If you're looking for a great workout, with community and self defense, this is it.“

“I have three kids attending Dragon Martial Art. This is a great place for kids to learn Taekwondo while building confidence and discipline. Master Yong and his staff are wonderful with kids. Master Yong’s instruction program is a combination of teaching martial arts with implication of moral values, discipline, and respect. You can always feel the positive energy from the instructor’s passion for the work that he does. We are impressed with Master Yong’s capability in motivating the kids to strive for their best while making them laugh and have fun. My kids are excited to come to Dragon everyday and enjoy every moment of it.“

“Easily the best karate studio on the planet. This has been a game changer for my son Jack. He absolutely loves it and has made so many friends. The instructors are top notch. Don’t hesitate to sign up.“

“Trained by master Brown has always left a love for shaolin wushu in my heart. Teachers were great and patient with you.“

“Great team full of fighters that really compete, great place to go if you actually want to learn how to defend yourself in real life“

“My kids attended summer camp last year and loved it. They will definitely be back this summer!“
