Martial Arts Schools near Vienna

“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.“

“Great instructors, great community! The instructors are great with kids and the classes are great exercise. Focus Family also has tons of extra events and activities for families. We love our karate family!“

“Best school in the area that teaches traditional Kung Fu. Both Shifu Chris and Weiwei are very friendly and experienced in the field. I miss the classes a lot, but had to give it a break due to other commitments.“

“We love Kicks Karate Bethesda! The teachers are nothing short of fantastic (kind, caring, funny and flexible!), and they make every class educational and fun. Our son is part of the Tiny Tigers program, and Mr. David and Mr. Brian are absolute professionals when it comes to commanding the attention of preschoolers (which is no easy feat). We also appreciate that the administrative staff is responsive and offers great answers/solutions to any questions we have. The best review is that our son asks every day if we're going to karate...and that says it all!“

“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! :)“

“They are very professional, my son likes it very much. They have very professional instructors. This helps us guarantee that all students get the personalized instruction they deserve.They maintain safe, clean and sanitary learning environment, also they’re flexible in class schedules. Love this place!!“

“Lead by Example After School Care has been hands down the best after-school program our family has ever experienced. The staff is genuinely caring and kind, and they’ve built a place that helps kids grow in confidence, leadership, and a real sense of community.

They have supported our daughter in so many ways — including helping her with reading — and we’ve seen real growth because of it. Belt testing has also been amazing for her. Having clear, short-term goals has given her motivation and drive, and she’s so proud of herself as she works toward each new belt.

Our younger daughter already can’t wait to go next year, which says everything. Mr. Randolph has already built such a sweet connection with her, and it’s clear how much the kids are seen and cared for there.

They are incredibly reliable with pick-ups, even on early release days, which takes so much stress off parents. And they are a total lifesaver on snow days and FCPS days off — the kids love the field trips and always come home happy and excited.

This is truly the best place to send your kids — after school, on days off, or for camps. Mr. Tue, Mr. Randolph, and Mr. Nicholas are unmatched and consistently go above and beyond for the kids.

As a bonus, their monthly Parents’ Night Out is always a huge hit. Our kids are pumped every time and never want to leave.

We’re so grateful to have found Lead by Example.“

“We love our Sterner’s TKD! My daughter is on her 6 month of joining! She absolutely thrives here. It’s amazing to watch her learn and grow at Sterner’s!!!“

“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!“

“Great place! Great facility. Great, practical instruction. Great for every level, from beginner to expert. Give them a try, you'll be glad you did!“

“My kids started their first Tae Kwon Do classes here about a year ago, and we couldn’t be happier! They’ve learned so much discipline, self-confidence, and self-defense. They always look forward to every class.
Master Sharma and Ms. Kate are incredible instructors. They know how to engage the kids, motivate them to do their best, and help them proudly show their skills to one another, which really builds confidence.
My kids also loved their summer camp. it’s fun, well-organized, and full of great activities that keep them active and learning.“

“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.“

“Just had the best birthday experience! My 6 year old and his friends came and had an absolute blast. Very sweet family, fantastic instructor Master Michael. Highly recommend.“

“Best spot best teachers. Great community for kids especially during summer or after school! Use to go here when i was little now my nephews and nieces go!“

“We’ve been going to Lead by Example Taekwondo in Great Falls for almost two years now, and we absolutely love it! My daughter has learned so much, not just about taekwondo, but also about discipline, perseverance, and hard work. Mr. Andrew is such an amazing coach, he really cares about his students and makes every class fun and engaging. The kids especially love the dodgeball games at the end of class! All the other coaches are great too, always so supportive and encouraging. Mrs. Earlina is the sweetest, she makes everyone feel so welcome and like part of the family. It’s honestly such a wonderful place for kids to grow, learn, and have a blast. We couldn’t be happier here and highly recommend it to anyone!“

“Great place to get your kids trained in self defense. Fees is very reasonable and Marion is a very good Sensei“

“EMA is a great community. My child has made some great friends and learned a lot about working towards goals on his TKD journey!“

“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!“

“It’s hard to find a better Taekwondo school for kids than Tigerden. The children absolutely love it, and the Masters are very professional. Each class is well-organized, and they do a great job helping kids learn while having fun. All the Taekwondo Masters and staff are kind and do their best to help the kids grow and improve. I highly recommend this place!“

“My son has been at Yong In for years after trying out another local martial arts school. Yong In far surpasses all expectations and helped my son regain confidence after a serious bullying incident in elementary school. Now my son is a rising Junior and a black belt. Family owned and run, Yong In does a great job of welcoming new and returning students under their wing.
We highly recommend Yong In Taekwondo College.“

“An amazing martial arts dojang led by an award winning globally recognized grand master. These people know how to work with kids and some of the kids we’ve seen there are a real piece of work ;-) The mental sanctuaries like this should exist in every American town and the world would be a better place. The sports aspect of this school and the Taekwondo mastership is supreme but the philosophical approach to life skills and the guidance throughout the kids’ most important development period is above and beyond of what you can do for your child. And we’ve seen parents training there as well! H.K. Lee academy under “Sabonim’s” leadership is tried and tested by the past 5 decades.“

“If you are in DC area and looking for your child to learn all the benefits from Martial Art classes be sure to check out Dietrich Black Belt leadership academy. Who know you might sign up for classes as well.“

“This Taekwondo is very good, we really appreciate all the effort, seriousness and dedication with our son Gustavo. They teach Taekwondo, discipline and good teachings to take with them for life. We recommend for everybody?“
