Martial Arts Schools near Clarksburg

“The instructors and the program are amazing — thank you!

I enrolled my son in Kicks Karate – Clarksburg, MD at the end of November 2025. My son is very picky when it comes to choosing a program and was skeptical at first. However, after attending a pleasant trial class, he showed genuine interest and willingness to join the karate program.

I was truly impressed by the diligent follow-up, along with the terrific guidance and support provided during the sign-up and enrollment process.

In every single session, it has been phenomenal to observe how the instructors and assistant instructors make the program as fun as possible, helping remove fear and build confidence in the kids. They divide the children into small teams so that each child receives individual attention, which motivates them immensely.

As a family, when we attended his first-level graduation, my wife and elder son were astonished by how much he had learned in such a short period of time. Kudos to the instructors for investing quality time in the kids and helping them gain confidence, discipline, and skills.

Thank you all for your excellent efforts!“

“Our child is loving ONEKICK so far! The staff have all been amazing and clearly care about helping each child grow and be their best.“

“Evolve Jujutsu Academy is an outstanding place to train. The instructors are knowledgeable, welcoming, and truly care about each student’s progress. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has a great training environment. What really sets this academy apart is the ownership—the owners are actively involved, attentive, and genuinely invested in everyone who walks through the doors. You can tell they care about both the art and the community they’re building. My kids definitely love this place and love coming I highly recommend it to anyone looking to train, learn, and grow.“

“My 4 year-old son has been going to Kicks Karate North Potomac for about 9 months. It's been an amazing experience! The instructors are excellent--they break things down in an age-appropriate way, make the class fun, and work with your kiddo on their particular issues. The emphasis on first-time listening, focus, and respect has actually made a big difference at home too. My kiddo loves this class and I've seen him grow and learn so much in 9 months. They also do extra events like Mom's Night Off and Kick-a-thon, which is a fundraiser for a local nonprofit. It's a great community feeling on top of everything else. Highly recommend!“

“I started classes at Krav Oz because I had free time and wanted to learn self defense, and I personally think for everything they offer, the people you get to interact with, and the coaching it is more than worth it. The coaches are always encouraging and detailed in explanations for beginners. They also helped me find a good physical therapy place when I injured myself playing soccer. Which they weren’t obligated to do but they still were very helpful. Overall I’d say at the very least this is a place to check out and go to for a few months. I definitely would say it’s worth it. They got some great and genuine people on their staff.“

“My three kids and I have been training at this gym for the past 3 years, and we couldn’t be happier! The environment is incredibly welcoming, whether you’re a complete beginner or more experienced. The coaches are knowledgeable, professional, and truly care about the progress and well-being of every student.
What really sets this place apart is the strong sense of community, and great training partners. My family and I have learned so much here and my kids love going here just as much as I do. It’s a great place to train, grow, and stay active together.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training in a positive and supportive atmosphere!“

“We joined back in November, and my son has really enjoyed it so far! We are leaving because we no longer live in the area and have signed him up for other sports. All of the instructors are wonderful, especially Mr. Josh!
When we came for our trial class, Mr. Josh was the instructor that day, and he was the reason we decided to join. He is amazing with kids and always has such a positive attitude. We’re sad to be leaving, but we may rejoin in the future!“

“This Martial art school is so amazing I’ve watched my little brother grow so much in confidence over the years !“

“Top notch instructors in a top notch academy. This dojan truly makes every class both challenging and fun. Emphasis on challenging.“

“Been going here for 3 years. Great atmosphere, great instructors and would highly recommend doing martial arts here.“

“We're incredibly grateful for the dedication and care Master Jeong and Mrs. Jeong bring to their students and the Urbana community. They've created an environment where kids grow in confidence, discipline, coordination, and pride.

The Black Belt training process was especially meaningful — structured, supportive, and focused on character as much as skill. Watching my child end the school year with this milestone, including a special recognition, meant so much to our family.

This school is a true gift to the community. I highly recommend it to any parent seeking excellence, respect, heart, and the real art and discipline of Taekwondo.“

“Master Park is the BEST instructor. He does not just pass kids through like large, commerciall studios do. He is attentive and requires respect and your best efforts. I’ve had three grandchildren in his program for 2 years and it’s been worth it! Very impressed with his skill level, passion and leadership. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!“

“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!“

“I took a intro session last week Tuesday, 28 Oct 2025, and was blown away. I'm surprised no one has written anything for the past 5 years, but Mike Lin, the current Sifu, is a master of Wing Chun, in the authentic Moy Yat lineage, Ip Man's final student. You can trace the lineage and Sifu's directly back to Ip Man.

So.. if you're looking for authentic, properly taught, Wing Chun, this is where you should go! Looking to join in a few months, my wife is giving birth in a week's time!“

“I absolutely recommend Zen Karate Academy! The instructors are incredibly skilled, patient, and supportive, always taking the time to teach proper techniques and encourage every student. My son has learned so much—not just karate moves, but discipline, focus, and confidence. The classes are structured, safe, and fun, and the atmosphere is friendly and motivating. Every session is worth it, and we’ve seen amazing growth in both skills and personal development. If you’re looking for a martial arts school that truly cares about its students, this is the place! ?✨“
