I’ve already seen improvements in their confidence and focus. The team is professional, encouraging, and truly cares about the kids. Highly recommend!“

“This is the best Taekwondo gym. All the instructor, especially Master Kim and Kelly, are nice and love the kids so much. My son really loves going the gum every time.“

“Our two kids, ages 5 and 8, have been going to Kang's for the past 2 years and they absolutely love it. The instructors are highly engaged with all of the kids and overall it's a wonderful family run business. The confidence and mindset growth we have seen in our kids is wonderful.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We’ve had a great experience with Kicks Karate. Since beginning karate a few years ago, I’ve seen a huge boost in my son’s confidence, both in and out of class. The instructors do an amazing job of making the lessons fun while still keeping the kids focused and working hard.

The teachers are patient and encouraging, but they also know how to challenge the kids in a positive way. My son feels supported, motivated, and excited to go each week. I'm really grateful for the impact Kicks Karate has had on him and would absolutely recommend them to other families.“

“We are huge fans of Kicks. All of the instructors are great w the kids. Very welcoming, caring but also firm when needed. Kids learn to listen and control their bodies. Makeups are easy to schedule as well.“

“Both of my kids attend Strive Martial Arts and we couldn’t be happier. The instructors are absolutely wonderful; not only are they skilled in teaching karate, but they also focus on instilling discipline and building confidence in each child. It’s been amazing to watch my kids grow both physically and mentally through their training. I highly recommend Strive Martial Arts to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching martial arts environment for their children.“

“Been going here for a little over a year now, and I just can't get enough of martial arts! All the staff and teachers are really friendly and have no problem helping you with any questions or trouble with any techniques you're having. The students are also great as well! I've met a lot of great and friendly people in my time at Han Mi Martial Arts. Matt is a great teacher with a lot of experience in martial arts and explains every lesson clearly and concisely. I highly recommend Han Mi Martial Arts if you're interested in learning BJJ, Taekwondo, or Kendo!“

“Our 5 year old has been taking classes for the last 7 months and he loves them. The lil dragons classes are perfect for little ones with a good mix of technique and games. He gets such a sense of accomplishment when he gets the next stripe/belt. We love the smaller class sizes. We appreciate the flexible schedule as well. They offer classes 4 days a week and you pick 2 to attend. You can attend more if you need to make up classes.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Love it here. Don't want to train anywhere else. Thank you to Master Fernando and all.“

“We took a trial class in March 2025 to assess if my kindergartener was ready to take on discipline outside of our home. She’s been attending regularly since then and I notice improvement in her drive when learning new routines and techniques. Master Joon is patient yet stern, understanding yet focused, and keeps his students engaged. I recommend WTA for all new comers and experienced students“

“WoW, very impressive. Program here supports all aspects of respect, discipline, and of course martial arts! Master Park is a TRUE CHAMPION!!“

“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! ?✨“
