Martial Arts Schools near Damascus

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

“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.“

“I watched as our grandson attended his class at Kang's. I was so impressed by the entire staff. They instruct with confidence but with care for the students.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!!!!!“

“I first studied here in the 1990s, where I received my black belt from Grand Master Lee. And then life did what it does and we moved away and I had to stop. 30 years later, life did what it does again, and I'm working in the area, and there is no place I'd rather go to get back into the art. Master Joon is patient and engaging with young and old students alike, and he carries on his father's school with amazing fidelity. There's a good sense of community and a strong emphasis on the martial arts ethos as well as the physical art itself. Five stars is not enough.“

“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! ?✨“
