Martial Arts Schools near Lanham

“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!“

“Our experience at this Tae Kwon Do studio has been outstanding. The program truly builds character, confidence, and discipline. I’ve noticed a meaningful positive change in my daughter—not just in the dojo, but at school and at home as well. All while the kids are having a blast.

I really appreciate the emphasis they place on school performance and home life as essential components of succeeding in the dojo—an approach that truly sets this program apart and reinforces values that extend far beyond martial arts.

The flexible scheduling has been incredibly helpful in allowing our daughter to maintain a consistent twice-weekly routine. I’m also impressed that there are multiple instructors in every class. The student-to-instructor ratio ensures that each child receives the attention and guidance they need to learn and grow.

Most importantly, Master Shim and his staff genuinely care. You can tell they enjoy the process of building these kids up. My daughter has loved the experience so much that I’ve decided to start the adult classes myself. We’re grateful to be part of this community and highly recommend this studio. You will not find a better Taekwondo studio in Montgomery County!“

“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.“

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

“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! 🥊“

“My Son has been a student here the last few years. I can see the progress he has made in behavior and social skills working with Master Paul and his team. ?? so glad I found this place. They really have a heart for the kids.“

“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.“

“First and foremost, this staff is great. I love the small class sizes, especially for the pee wee classes. I appreciate that they understand the age they’re instructing and are patient, because abilities and attention spans vary across ages. I love that they’re also affordable and have added some cool events to the calendar like parents night and day camp for when school is closed. My kids have been coming her for 2-3 years now and will continue to go.“

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