Martial Arts Schools near Ellicott City

“Amazing people. Took my daughter when she was younger. She loved it. Training was on point and she learned life skills to last a lifetime. Thank you for those wonderful memories.“

“Both of my children attended classes at Tiger Tae Kwon Do. My younger one, Allen, began at the age of 3 and gained invaluable positive discipline and attitude from his experiences there. We eventually left because of scheduling conflict and had no problem in cancellation. You do have to follow up with Master Chang during the process as the subscriptions are handled by a third party company.“

“Well it's been 2 1/2 years of great experience for my oldest daughter and now my youngest is 6 months in, and loves her new village. Happy girl dad...“

“I have previous Krav Maga experience from another gym and was looking to transition to a gym that aligned more with my values and beliefs. I attended several upper level classes at Watchdog, as well as the cardio kickboxing classes and definitely enjoyed them. Those cardio kickboxing classes were super challenging and fun. The upper level classes were great as well, though I noticed minute differences in the Watchdog techniques than what I'd previously learned. I liked the Watchdog take on things, but had a hard time transitioning my style after having slightly different training for so long. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed the martial arts classes, and the instructors were as nice and welcoming as they were experts in the discipline. It reminded me of better times at my past gym, and I felt good whenever I was at Watchdog. Alas, by the time I signed up with Watchdog, I was burned out on the discipline, and I ended up canceling my contract. However, if I ever get the urge to do Krav again, Watchdog is where I will go. Definitely recommend.“

“I’m so grateful I found Warrior of Grace Karate for my 10 year old son. The instructors were nice, and friendly. My son felt very welcome and warm as soon as we came in. We are excited to be apart of the warriors for grace family. Call them today and try a free class. I promise you will not regret it!“

“We were a family at the Glen Burnie location. My son expressed interest in karate, so I signed him up since it was the most local option with the most flexible schedule. The instructors were always attentive and structured. You could tell that they truly focused on each student individually when it came to little things, no matter how many children where present. When our time came to an end, cancelation wasn't a haggle deal or several hoops to jump over. I wish that we could have continued our journey, but I sincerely wish them all the best. If they ever continue locally, I will not hesitate to rejoin.“

“We started this journey as a place for my son to try out martial arts. Now Al,ost the whole family trains here. Amazing instruction in such a caring community! What a treasure in Frederick Rd.“

“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.“

“Great instructor and safe environment. The classes are centered around performing good technique while still providing good exercise. Great for all levels.“

“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.“

“My children are having the best time learning at Arbutus Martial Arts. The teachers and environment are down to earth and family oriented. Firm but patient. I would recommend to anyone who doesn't need fancy but does want competent teachers in a welcoming environment.“

“I reviewed Palanzo’s about a year ago and also gave this wonderful Martial Arts facility a five star rating. My progress in training and martial arts has been truly incredible! I have lost 50 pounds and am being challenged mentally and physically every time I attend class. Tom Hale and his dedicated staff are the best. They have created a family atmosphere that is unparalleled at other training facilities that I have been to in my many years. Martial Arts is a great way to maintain flexibility, strength and mobility as we age and it also helps to keep your mind active as you learn new techniques and review techniques already learned. Come see us!“

“Modern kinesiology has only just scratched the surface of the depth and wealth of information that this art provides. When I started I could neither breathe nor strike properly. Now having trained for a couple years my physiology is changing for the better, impacting all areas of my life. Dont be fooled by the humble appearance of this school. Shifu Hatza is knowledgeable and attentive, and teaches the art with a strong emphasis on pragmatic self defense.“

“As a quiet observer visiting from South Florida, I was honored to watch the 7pm students practice Friday. A true learning environment teaching the insightful art and Science of Shotokan.“

“I found Integrity Martial Arts here on Google and Decided to sign my kids up and I don’t regret making this decision at all. My 11 yr old daughter and 8yr old son have gained so much confidence and learned so much and a short period of time. My son improved his grades and is now more confident of him self then ever. He’s learned in Integrity that if he wants something and works hard for it he will get it. Thank you Integrity Martial Arts ?,Mr. Frost and all the wonderful instructors who have become family.“

“This gym is amazing and has changed my life. Everyone is so polite and welcoming from the front desk to the coaches. I mainly attend the jiujitsu classes and have felt a difference both in my body and my mindset. Each month the class focuses on a position and what can be done in that position. It is hard work but if you put in the hard work it is really rewarding. All of these bad reviews seem unwarranted because they focus on individuals who seemingly try to break contracts. Contracts exist for a reason. If you are even slightly interested I would highly recommend attending. They also have classes for children. When my little one is old enough I hope to enroll him as well. The other day I was watching the advanced adult jiujitsu class and there was a moment the children's class came into the same area to get water. All of the advanced class stopped and clapped for a kid who had gotten a new belt. An mma coach was also making small talk with all the kids and you could tell how encouraged the kids felt. If you are patient, like to work hard and are a consistent person, join. If you are not sure, try their free trial. If you are wishy washy (which is fine if that works for you) then this gym probably is not for you. I have seen people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and experience levels in this gym. They all leave class with a smile on their face. Also shoutout to coach Chris and coach Southside!“
