Martial Arts Schools near Boyds

““

“I would recommend OneKick Martial Arts in Germantown. The instructors are awesome and willing to work with you step-by-step to improve. My two-week trial was intense, but also fun engaging with everyone.“

“I highly recommend training at Krav Oz.

This is my third year here. I've been to other gyms before and have attended drop-in classes at other gyms (during holidays or travels) after joining KO and talked to several members who (themselves or their kids) have been training at KO for over 5 years. So I can give some perspective on what makes KO stand out.

KO has a clean facility, well-organized teaching curriculum, skilled and certified instructors, different types of self defense and fitness classes. They regularly bring in well-renowned instructors to teach Muy Thai, BJJ, and Knife Control Concept seminars.

While Combat sports are intrinsically risky, at KO they emphasize training safely (teaching us how to protect ourselves and our partners).

Most importantly, I liked the community. The staff pleasantly greets you when you enter KO. If you are new to KO, they'll introduce you to other members. KO also organizes UFC watch parties, holiday parties and socials around the area, which helps build connections outside of training.

Members too are welcoming. I've made some good friends here. We train together, motivate each other during difficult exercises or days when you don't feel like working out. Folks here genuinely care about your progress.

Having a fun, supportive and safe environment at KO has helped me stay consistent in my training, learn self defense and improve my fitness.

Stop by for a tour of the facility, take a drop-in class, talk to members and decide for yourself if it's the right fit for you. If it isn’t the right fit, I think the staff might even suggest you a gym that better suits your (training/schedule) needs.“

“My son started at 4 years old he’s now 10 and one step away from a black belt. Great instructors, great people, great facility, great location. You won’t be disappointed.“

“My family has been coming to this location for more than 5 years and it’s had a tremendous impact on my boys and their physical/mental/social health. The teachers here are kind, patient, and FUN. I always enjoy watching their classes and seeing them build skills through drills, partner activities, and games. My boys love coming and it’s been so rewarding watching them earn different belts over the years. As a bonus, over the last year, I’ve joined their kickboxing classes and have seen my own transformation. Their adult kickboxing classes provide fun full-body workouts that I can follow at my own pace. Coming to Kicks is truly the highlight of our week. I’m sure all locations are great, but teachers here are special.“

“In short, we love Strive Martial Arts. My youngest started due to a bullying incident and Mr Derek and Ms Angela immediately provided options on how to address the situation. Ever since then I was hooked. They treat him and all the students with love and care and their dedication and expertise in their craft definitely show. My child has developed and become so much more confident and I guarantee it’s because of Mr Derek and Ms Angela. All the instructors are amazing. Some are students themselves and I’ve watched them become more confident as well. Which is amazing to witness!“

“Great Taekwondo Studio!
Instructors are kind and professional. Classes are well-organized, and my child has become more focused and confident. Clean, safe, and highly recommended!“

“Our kids have been coming here for over 4 years now. Initially it was masters Park, Lim and Alex who worked with the kids and it turned out to be a successful formula. Now Masters Jane, Ollie and Alex work extremely hard with the kids. There’s no place like UST Tigers( formerly Phoenix). We all love the masters and this place so much that we factor it in when looking for a new home. Would’ve moved East a while back but stayed because of UST/Phoenix.“

“Sifu Brad provides an excellent training environment. During COVID, his online classes are intense, and I feel like I get the most possible out of training, even while training virtually. I can't wait until classes return to in person.“

“I feel like I am going to see my family and have fun every time when I take myself and my children for Karate class. I miss the TKA family badly as I am not registered for the last two sessions for being busy with school. I can’t wait to restart next Spring. I just registered my two children, one who has blue belt and the other one has a green belt. I have green belt as well.“

“"I highly recommend this academy. Master Kim is a passionate and dedicated instructor who establishes a strong connection with his students. He teaches with respect, patience, and clarity, making complex concepts easily understandable. My children thoroughly enjoyed his classes and looked forward to attending them."“

“This is a great place for children of all ages to learn discipline and respect while having fun and gaining self-confidence!“

“Han Mi provides quality and detailed Jiu-Jitsu instruction in an environment that is welcoming, clean and safe. 100% recommend. ?“

“We switched to the 12-month plan after trying out for a few months because my kid enjoyed the class. It's been a year and the experience has been great. The instructors are dedicated and provide a supportive and encouraging environment.“
