“My kids absolutely love it.Love the family vibes and everyone is so supportive and welcoming!“

“Being adopted from Russia as an infant, I decided to explore Russian history, and found Systema as a unique form of martial arts from the Slavic regions throughout history. Jim and my fellow students were incredible to learn with, the experience was fun, positive, and very close-knit. What I learned from Jim brought a whole new perspective on human movement, energy, and conditioning, he is an excellent instructor who excels at transferring the daunting and the complexity of Systema into an intuitive, easy to grasp simplicity. The fellow students I learned with were fun and great company, we helped each other out and challenged each other to do our best. Incredible experience, would love to return someday!“

“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“

“Love this place. We are very happy to be the part of King Tiger Martial Arts School. My son is attending the School since 2023. All the Masters and instructors are very professional, passionate and friendly. Great place to learn discipline, confidence and self defense. Highly recommended for all ages.“

“Jen and Jay have built something truly special at Capital MMA Takoma — a culture that existed long before I walked through the door and will continue long after I’m gone.

Nick, in particular, has had a tremendous impact on my growth, pushing me to sharpen my technique and raise my level every time I train.

What really stands out is the community. Every round is a tough round, in the best possible way — and we have fun doing it. There’s an incredible depth and diversity of talent here: judo, BJJ, MMA, Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling, self-defense — you name it. The coaches and training partners are constantly invested in making each other better, improving the space, dropping fun team rash guards, and creating an environment that people genuinely want to be part of.

If you’re looking for high-level training with a real sense of camaraderie and lasting culture, this is the place.“

“This is the best decision we ever made for our kids. The atmosphere at this taekwondo school is incredible. From the moment you walk in and see Mr. Vic and Ms. Sophie, you find that it's welcoming, positive and motivating. All of the instructors are top-notch, who go above and beyond with every class. Their energy, patience, and teaching style make all the difference. The instruction is clear, structured, and challenging in the best way. Our children have grown so much—not just in skill, but in discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. We’ve seen real character development, and we’re so grateful. I highly recommend this place to any family!“

“Great taekwondo studio in Tenleytown. My 6 year old has received personalized training to come up to speed with the rest of the students. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. There is a strong message taught about confidence, discipline and community.“

“Top tier organization…for all folks…no matter there level or ability. I would add a 6 and 7 star if I could. #estrelapreta“

“We’ve been at this location for almost two years now and the experience has been great! Our son has enjoyed going, learning new skills and earning belts. The class schedule is easy to navigate especially for working parents. All the instructors are great.“

“My son absolutely loves going to Karate here. Ms. Nadia, and Ms. Angie are wonderful! All of the other instructors are great as well! We love it here!“

“My two kids have been in Little Ninjas for a year and they love classes! Master K is patient and firm when needed, and she LOOOOOOVES teaching kids!
The team teaches more than technique, stamina, and strength. They also teach respect and character building, pushing students to be great outside of the dojo…at school, at work, and at home.
In the fall, BAMs offers a month of free women’s self defense classes. I am so thankful for the lessons taught by Master K and Professor BAM! I learned so much in October that I chose to enroll in kickboxing. I’m stronger, leaner, and so much more confident in my ability to defend myself now. I look forward to more growth with BAMs! Thank you Professor BAM, Master K, and SWAT Team! 🥊“

“Great place for your kids!!! They are always on time and very kind, but they are also taught and disciplined. They will not tolerate BS, which is what I really like. My kid has been with them for two years, and he is progressing.“

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

“I had such a positive experience at More Than Human LLC. The environment was welcoming, professional, and empowering from start to finish. Anthony is an excellent trainer knowledgeable, respectful, and genuinely attentive to everyone in the room.

What really stood out was how intentional he was about making women feel safe and supported, including myself. He created a space where everyone felt comfortable, confident, and encouraged to learn without pressure or intimidation. I left feeling stronger, more informed, and really glad I started to train here. Highly recommend!“

“Great instructor and community! I'm becoming a regular. Capoeira is such a well-rounded martial art! It's got combat, dance, coordination, consideration for others, etc.“

“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.“

“I found Integrity Martial Arts here on Google and Decided to sign my kids up and I don’t regret making this decision at all. My 11 yr old daughter and 8yr old son have gained so much confidence and learned so much and a short period of time. My son improved his grades and is now more confident of him self then ever. He’s learned in Integrity that if he wants something and works hard for it he will get it. Thank you Integrity Martial Arts ?,Mr. Frost and all the wonderful instructors who have become family.“
