“My son (now 6) has been in the Global Martial Arts program since he was 3 and it has been a great experience. The instructors are home grown through the program and are wonderful with the kids in the classes. The instructors provide great instruction as well as meaningful life lessons. They reward the kids for doing well in school, reading, and displaying self-discipline. We are very happy to be involved in the Global Martial Arts community. Highly recommend.“
“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!“
“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 have studied martial arts since I was 13 off an on. Spent a lot of time trying to find the right fit for me. Until I found myself at US Kuo Shu Academy in Owings Mills one day. That one day turned into 8+ years and it has been great. Master Huang takes a complete approach to teaching martial arts. While training to be a black sash he makes sure that training your body is only PART of the process. Master Huang is also interested in developing character within each student. He wants to develop leaders not just black sashes. A side from learning martial arts I had a goal to be healthier and lose weight. During my time at the academy I have lost 70lbs along with increased mobility and flexibility. The academy has become an integral part of my life, it has such a family atmosphere it makes learning martial arts easier. I couldnt imagine not being apart of the academy.“
“Whether you’re brand new to Jiu jitsu or a trained student, this place is by far the best! From day, one on the mats, the entire team instructors and students have been nothing but supportive and encouraging. You can tell they take pride in their education and curriculum in regards to breaking movements down for beginners, but also enhancing education for more accomplished students Alec Puts a lot of time in work in all facets of the gym whether it’s just saying hi or staying after class to review a movement or scenario. The dude is down to earth and is passionate about creating a culture of competitiveness but also managing the different levels of students so everyone feels comfortable. Highly recommend you check it out for not only Jiu jitsu, but for kickboxing wrestling MMA, etc.“
