Martial Arts Schools near Annapolis Junction

“Great team full of fighters that really compete, great place to go if you actually want to learn how to defend yourself in real life“

“The fantastic staff makes Warriors of Grace the best. The youth program has become a really important part of my son's life. Their model teaches karate and self defense, but the impact extends to the whole person both at the dojo and at home. I liked what they were doing so much I decided to start training too... I've made good friends, learned a lot, and can't recommend this martial arts school enough.“

“Our son attends the after school program at Parks and we have had a great experience. They even offer day care on days when school is closed. My son enjoys going and has made great friends there. He enjoys the martial arts classes and looks forward to gaining higher belts. The staff is friendly, organized, and communicates well with parents. 100% recommend.“

“Xtreme Mpact has become part of our family. My children enjoy karate, sparring, and tournaments. Mr. Macon is excellent, and the kids adore him. Mine do after-school care and summer camp. Highly recommend this business.“

“The place is so much fun I do lion dancing and kung Fu. going everywhere for lion dances is the best you get to see and taste many new things while making other people happy.Highly recommend if you’re being bullied or just want to learn self defense.“

“My Son has been attending Alpha for almost a year now. Mostly all of the instructors are AWESOME! We’ve never had any real issues. I enjoy the class sizes, not to small not to big. They do follow the school systems schedule like most places and has after care for locals. Pricing is fair as well.“

“I've been coming to Crazy 88 MMA Elkridge since July of 2018, and I don't think I will ever leave. Not only do I love the gym, but the members and coaching staff have become family. I met Coach Southside when I was living in Baltimore years ago. He informed me that he was a boxing instructor at the Elkridge location, and encouraged me to stop in for a Saturday morning Boxing class. After my first class, I never left!

Over the years, I have primarily focused on boxing; however, I have taken Muay Thai, Gi Jiu-Jitsu and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu classes, all of which I found fascinating, as I was always a football player and was never into martial arts growing up. Early on, I realized that Crazy 88 MMA was an absolute powerhouse, breeding several BJJ World Champions and UFC fighters. I still recall a friend of mine, who had been taking Jiu-Jitsu his entire life, making the statement after his first class that "the blue belts at Crazy 88 MMA were more advanced than the black belts at all of the other gyms he had attended nationwide."

The owner and coaches at Crazy 88 MMA are all amazing! They each have decades of knowledge and experience, and you will notice that each class builds into the next, giving you a strong foundation and understanding of the discipline. I appreciate the fact that the coaches act the way a "real coach" should. They are encouraging and firm, they want you to succeed and will push you to become better, and they do not reward mediocrity. There are no participation trophies, and if you want to advance to the next level, you must earn it.

Regardless of whether you are looking to compete in the sport of MMA, become more self-aware, or simply get an incredible workout, I strongly recommend Crazy 88 MMA. Your physique will change drastically from all of the calisthenic exercises which are incorporated into each class, and your mental health will skyrocket!“
