“Had a great experience there training. Teachers there a very knowledgeable and experienced to make you feel confident in learning.“

“My experience at the Guardian Baltimore Jiu-Jitsu program has been outstanding. From the very beginning, the instructors created a welcoming, supportive, and structured environment that helped the kids feel comfortable while challenging them to grow.

Since joining the program, I've seen a remarkable increase in the kids confidence. They believes in themselves more, approaches new challenges with a positive attitude, and isn't afraid to step outside of their comfort zone. What stands out most is how the program emphasizes character development alongside martial arts skills. The coaches genuinely care about each student's progress and encourage them to become not only better athletes but also better people.

I highly recommend the Guardian Baltimore Jiu-Jitsu program to any parent looking for a positive activity that builds confidence, discipline, and resilience in their child. It has been a truly rewarding experience for our family.“

“Kevin was great with my son eve do he have some difficulties, my son shy but enjoy it . Now I will join membership.“

“I was in Baltimore on a road trip and decided to drop in for a gi and nogi class. Everyone was incredibly helpful and so nice! It was a lot of fun. The gym is spacious and clean- can’t wait to come back! ?“

“My son has been attending Everest World Class Taekwondo for about 3–4 months, and our experience has been outstanding. I regularly stay and watch the classes, and I am truly impressed by the dedication, professionalism, and care that the instructors show to every student. They take the time to work with each child individually and create a positive, respectful, and motivating learning environment.

A special thank you to Master Karki, Master Kalpana, and Master Sagar for their exceptional leadership, patience, and commitment to their students. I would also like to thank all of the instructors for their hard work and passion for teaching. Their guidance and encouragement make a real difference in the students’ growth and confidence.

I highly recommend Everest World Class Taekwondo to anyone looking for high-quality instruction, strong values, and a welcoming community.“

“Baltimore Taekwondo ? is the place to train if you want more than an after school program. If you are looking for your child to have an environment of discipline, respect, perseverance, learn self defense and train to be a champion, Dan DeArmas and Baltimore Taekwondo is the best in the area.“

“Gama is the martial arts Gym in Perry Hall for kids and adults. Excellent instructors and plenty of training times available.“

“I’ve been bringing my son here. Here I feel my son will progress in having more confidence. He’s always excited to come to the dojo. He just can’t wait.“

“If you are serious about learning Taekwondo, Elite Core Martial Arts is absolutely the right place. It offers a cohesive experience that combines physical training with character development and education.

Under Master David”s leadership, students gain much more than martial arts skills. They build discipline, confidence, resilience, and focus — tools that help them overcome challenges both inside and outside the dojo. Situations that once felt overwhelming gradually become manageable, and children learn how to approach obstacles with strength and composure.

Highly recommend!“

“Top tier instructions, the instructor was very clear with his instructions with a very complicated style and was super patient with me as a completely new fighter“

“I like Aikido because it does not emphasize the use of force or violence, but rather focuses on how to use your opponent strength and momentum to your advantage. this means that even if you are small or not very strong, that you can still do this Marshall art well. it is also a great way to develop your body awareness and practice mindfulness. As someone who has been working from home for the past two years, the Dojo has also served as a great source for community for me. everyone here is very friendly and welcoming to students of all levels of experience. The membership is very affordable, and I believe your first two classes are free. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in martial art or is looking for a community to come check it out.“

“Being a single mom is tough but having my son attend martial arts has greatly enhanced our life and relationships. My son is a much healthier and respectful child that I am very proud of thanks to Sabumnim (Master) Law's dedication to teaching and helping others.“

“Great class, great teacher, he’s methodical and practices form very well and thoroughly, as well as sword and staff, and elements of qigong within the style. Which qigong is very important for actual body health and dynamics. Ba Gua and Tai Chi are both internal style martial arts, if there is no qigong then it’s not internal. And true strength comes from that not just muscle. Sadly those that don’t know, just don’t know.
Tai Chi- great class , mostly older folks (men and more so women), that have been in class for over 12 years. Myself included, great form and technique. One should definitely stop in for a class.
Ba Gua- excellent class great form and technique, great with weapons, qigong mixed into the class not every class but throughout the year does segments on qigong, because again, this is an internal art. Again most of his students we’ve been here for over a decade or so. He is thoughtful and patient to show proper technique and form. And classmates are great to support this. Not sure about that 1 star. I studied Aikido for 25 years prior, still do on occasion and I’ve never had anyone here make fun of me or push me out because of it. Not sure who that was, but that may be a perception issue with that individual. Many of us here have studied other martial arts before coming to Ba Gua.

Anyways I cannot recommend. Sifu Greg enough. Very friendly, very knowable, great form and technique. Good seminars throughout the year too! I’ve always thought, what better way to get a good workout and learn to defend yourself!!“
