Martial Arts Schools in Alexandria

“Our family is new to this studio and has been pleasantly surprised with the warmth of the teachers and how well run the classes seem to be. Our son is learning a lot quickly and looks forward to every single class. I would recommend checking this studio out if you are considering tae kwan do for any members of your family - it’s a very popular choice with families in the fort hunt area and I can see why!“

“Highly professional and dedicated instructors! Our son is making great progress with Sensei Gary. He's the best!!! We are glad we found Potomac Kempo! :)“

“Great gym for training all sorts of martial arts. Convenient time for all schedules and is super family friendly.“

“We’ve been attending this martial arts gym for about a year, and the experience has been incredible for our family. Our son, who is naturally hesitant to try new things, was welcomed by the staff at his own pace and is now thriving. His confidence has grown tremendously, and he’s learned to embrace challenges and handle uncomfortable situations with ease.

The classes are well-structured and provide the right balance of discipline and support for kids of all ages and abilities. Both of our boys’ confidence has skyrocketed since joining. They especially love Coach Natashia, the leader of the youth program, who has a remarkable ability to connect with each athlete and bring out their best.

We couldn’t be happier with the positive impact this gym has had on our children’s growth, confidence, and overall well-being.“

“I have a 6 year old son. He really enjoys the sun camp program. Two of his classmates are also in the camp which makes it even better for him. He has made a lot of ne friends which is great since he is an only child.
The instructors really do a wonderful job with the kids.
Thank to all of them and what the do.

“We started our son here and couldn’t be more pleased. He is pretty young to start but the coaches are really good with him. He really enjoys it and is building strength, skill and confidence. Thanks team Testudo.“

“Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about Yoo’s Authentic Martial Arts! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and supported by the entire staff. The level of instruction is top-notch. The team is not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging. They take the time to ensure each student is learning proper technique while also instilling confidence, discipline, and respect.

What truly sets Yoo’s apart is their genuine care for every family and child who walks through their doors. They create a nurturing and positive environment where kids can thrive both physically and mentally. Our child has grown tremendously, not just in martial arts skills but in self-esteem, focus, and perseverance.

Beyond the instruction, the sense of community here is unmatched. The families, students, and staff create a supportive and uplifting atmosphere that makes every class a joy to attend. It’s clear that Yoo’s isn’t just about martial arts—it’s about building character, strong relationships, and a sense of belonging.

If you’re looking for a place that combines excellence in training with heart and community, look no further than Yoo’s Authentic Martial Arts. We’re so grateful to be part of this amazing family!“

“Amazing! I recently enrolled my 3 boys and couldn't be happier with the class and the staff. Master Micheal is wonderful with the kids.“

“I want to give a major shout out to Trulynd Hall & Hannah Lee from Be Ryong Martial Arts studio in Alexandria. They went above and beyond to show our campers an amazing demonstration of basic TaeKwonDo skills. Highly recommend their instruction, patience, and expertise!“

“My son has attended Yang’s taekwondo for a few years now and my daughter just started. Grandmaster Yang is absolutely amazing. He makes taekwondo really fun for the kids to learn.“

“we are extremely happy that we found Potomac Kempo and Sensei Gary Covington where our 11 year old daughter now trains. He is positive, patient, kind and accommodating.. a great role model & teacher!“

“Josh Sensei is a passionate and knowledgeable instructor.With a keen eye for detail and a drive for progression, you will be in the same good hands that I have been in since the middle of 2019. Between the training atmosphere and the various dojo get togethers, outside of COVID-19 times of course, Josh Sensei has bolstered a welcoming atmosphere that anyone willing to come in and dedicate the time to training should enjoy their stay. On top of this, he is willing to go out of his way to answer questions both inside and out of class and has even provided extra trainings at the sole cost of his time on special occasions. Come prepared to learn and work hard as those efforts will yield gains in yourself that you have yet to know as the value of the training provided is well worth the cost.“

“Just an awesome school. Dr Sorbi teaching style is passionate yet relaxed, his experience as a professional educator clearly shows. The club generally, is welcome both to beginners and those with some experience.“

“My relationship with Lead By Example Martial Arts is not that of a student, but rather of someone with a business relationship with the school's leadership. Our interactions with the leaders--particularly Janet--have been great. They are professional, responsive, innovative, kind, and extremely passionate about providing their students with the best experience and tools. Based on our professional relationship, I know they care deeply for their students and their experience. I would recommend them to anyone looking for martial arts instruction in the area.“
