Martial Arts Schools in Gaithersburg

“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!“

“My kids have been training at Mudo for more than 10 years, and it has been an incredible experience. Both of my kids have had the opportunity to compete at a very high level and have been members of the national teams for several years.

Master Choi has helped them grow not only in skill, but also in confidence, discipline, and respect. The classes are well-structured, welcoming, and supportive for students of all skill levels.

I’m truly grateful for everything this school has done for my kids. I highly recommend Mudo to anyone looking for a school that develops strong, confident, and disciplined students!“

“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 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!“
