“Highly recommended!
We sign up for TKD. First was our son then one week later we signed up our daughter. The instructors make it fun and they’re patient and professional. They make sure kids show respect and confidence. We see a difference its making and both of them are excited to go every week! Thank You Master Han!“

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'm going to my first and second year, and I really like it. I'm planning to become a member for a year. I came to the event today, but there were many people coming from other local centers as well.“

“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! :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“We've been so impressed with EMA. The instructors are highly skilled and provide excellent guidance. What stands out is their entire team are attentive, encouraging, and genuinely care about each student's progress and development. Our children have grown so much in their confidence and skill during their time here. The quality of instruction is outstanding, and the team is truly dedicated to the students' growth and success. They create a positive and supportive environment where kids can learn. Highly recommend to any parent looking for more than just a martial arts class; this studio is exceptional!“

“Both of my kids train here, and we are incredibly impressed with the quality of instruction. The teachers are warm, attentive, and amazingly skilled at connecting with each child—remembering their names and adapting lessons to meet them where they are. The individualized attention really helps them grow and stay motivated.

The entire studio is run with exceptional organization. Classes flow smoothly, the structure is consistent, and everything operates like a well-oiled machine. It’s clear the staff is dedicated to creating a positive, disciplined, and supportive environment.

My children look forward to every class, and we’ve seen such meaningful progress. I highly recommend this school to any family looking for top-tier martial arts training!“

“This studio is such a find! We tried another martial arts program in the area and found it so impersonal and robotic. Coach Dante, Coach Antonio, and the rest of the staff go above and beyond with their students, building their confidence and encouraging them to push themselves. They also make sure the kids still have fun. This is the first sports program our son is excited to attend every week and it's been awesome to watch him participate. The studio itself was a little hard to track down with Google maps but it's worth seeking out.“

“mountain kim martial arts has been one of the best decisions ive made in my life. ive been coming here for almost 10 years now and growing up with learning taekwondo has been life changing.

not only did i learn taekwondo here, i also learned discipline along with respect. i used to be a pretty loud kid, however when i was in class, i became focused to learn. the instructors here all have the student’s best interest at heart and will always try their absolute best to help them get better while still pushing them enough so that it is not too easy. not only do they teach taekwondo, however also help overall physical condition, helping to stay healthy.

taekwondo ended up being my main sport and this place is the reason i kept going. being here has given me tons of positive experiences and friendships. i couldnt have been more grateful for the instructors, and growth this place has given me.“

“Oriental Sports Academy is an excellent martial arts school that serves all ages, from young children to teens to adults. The school teaches four Korean martial arts styles: Taekwondo, Judo, Hapkido, and Sword. It has a before and after school program for kids, as well as summer, winter, and spring break day camps. There are numerous social events that help the students, families, and staff connect with each other, and additional special training opportunities are available. I earned my black belt in Hapkido here, and now my son is learning Taekwondo. We both love OSA!“
