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!“

“I recently join and it has been so challenging, but I love the classes. In just two months, I am stronger. I have some limitations and the coach gives me alternatives so that I can still feel the burn. 🥰🥰🥰“

Potomac Kempo kingstowone the best in the DMV region.sensi Gary is the best senior instructor lucky to have him as one of senior instructor.“

“Great family oriented organization. My son has been coming for almost 3 years and loves it. All of the staff works exceptionally well with the kids. They're other services are also very valuable.“

“Our daughter has been a student at Yoo’s for 2.5 years. She recently graduated from their pee wee program for young students, where Master Brad was her main instructor. His classroom management style is amazing- he is able to teach very young children a high level of focus, self control, and discipline while also making sure they are having fun and developing their skills. Yoo’s offers safe and reliable after-school transportation from local elementary schools and camps during school holidays and summer and winter break. I like that students are never tested before they are ready, and that they are supported in growing their skills at their own pace without being pressured or compared to others. I also love how Yoo’s provides leadership opportunities to many of their advanced students by having them train and mentor newer students. We are so happy to be part of the very special community at Yoo’s.“

“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've been training at Testudo for close to 3 years now and it's truly a hidden gem of a gym. Coach Ervin is extremely knowledgeable in the major grappling disciplines of BJJ, Judo and Wrestling; eager to share his knowledge with those who demonstrate a curiosity and passion for the grappling arts. His skill is matched only by his humility and sense of humor! The environment is very clean, safe and the community super welcoming and kind! I can't think of a better environment to learn and grow in your grappling journey! An excellent training spot for adults and kids alike with a well run competition classes, fundamentals classes and kids programs!“

“From the very beginning, they have been patient, understanding, and welcoming. They took the time to learn about my daughter’s needs instead of focusing on her challenges, and that has meant more to our family than words can express.
It’s rare to find a place where every child is made to feel included and supported. Their kindness, professionalism, and commitment to helping children succeed truly set them apart.“

“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!“

“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.“
