Martial Arts Schools near Herndon

“Outstanding school. Been studying the martial arts from across the world my whole life and I consider this place a rare gem. Besides their Krav courses, I highly recommend their Saturday Shuai Jiao class. Most people can't handle sticking with Shuai Jiao over the long-term, but if you are one of the few, there are legit fighting skills to be earned in this rare art that is hyper-focused on throwing.“

“Sterner's Tae Kwon Do is a wonderful school. Great instructors. Kids love the summer program and after school also. Master Adam is wonderful with the kids and adults. I recommend him to all my friends and children's families.“

“InCourage is an exceptional place, the staff are extremely helpful and kind. They make you and your family to feel comfortable, confident knowing that your child will be taking care of the best way possible. We are forever greatful to have this extraordinary studio in our neighborhood and recommend them to all the parents.“

“Master Lee's Martial Arts has been a transformative experience for our daughter. The improvement we've seen in her has been remarkable, not only in her martial arts skills but also in her overall discipline, focus, and confidence. The training has helped her grow in many areas, both physically and mentally.

What sets Master Lee's school apart is the dedication and attentiveness of the instructors. Master Lee and his staff truly care about each student's progress. They take the time to ensure that every lesson is understood and provide a supportive environment that encourages growth. Their thoughtful approach makes a huge difference, especially for younger students.

The program is well-structured, with a balance of rigorous training and character-building activities. It's clear that the goal is not just to teach martial arts but to help students develop important life skills. We've been impressed by how much our daughter has benefited from this holistic approach.

Overall, Master Lee's Martial Arts offers an outstanding experience for students of all ages. It's a place where hard work, respect, and personal development are at the forefront, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality martial arts program.“

“The school has been under new management and ownership! Fantastic and caring staff, Victory Centreville carries an enjoyable and fun environment for all ages.“

“I've been training here for about 7 years. From Blue to Black Belt and you could not ask for a better community. This gym has so many members you can find whatever you're looking for. There's advanced competitors, people interested in self defense and experienced hobbyists.“

“Excellent school & staff! Great culture for young children to learn discipline through fun, rewarding activities!“

“Kyung Hee Logos Martial Arts is a fabulous Tae Kwon Do school. Master Han is wonderful. She is an accomplished Tae Kwon Do athlete and instructor; more importantly, she is a caring teacher who has a great background in childhood development and education. The staff are caring. There are several Tae Kwon Do studios near us, but Kyung Hee Logos really stood out. It's small and gives students a challenge, but they do it in a way the students are completely supported and cared for.“

“If you’re looking for a competitive gym, that also takes the time to develop each of its students individually, look no further than sparksmma. I joined because with the intention of bringing the whole family in and I couldn’t think of a better place to be introduced and guided than this incredible community.“

“So happy to have found One Take Studios! My daughter started here for the after school program as she started kindergarten, she does dance and martial arts program. She has learned so much in such a short time and has so much passion for both martial arts and dance. I give it up to Ms Neilah and Mr Robert they are both amazing with what they do for these kids I can genuinely see the light and joy they bring to all of the students it's a great vibe always. I'm excited to watch my daughter continue on this journey with the One Take fam . We appreciate you! Thank you!“

“I could not thank Sensei Hollowell and the other instructors enough for their vast experience and tutelage. Because of them, I am able to be confident in my diet and fitness routines. I am absorbing a lot of knowledge in terms of self-defense. Going to Shoshin Ryu really makes a big difference in my life.“

“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.“

“My two little tigers are enjoying this class. A lot of fun with a lot of motivation and learning techniques to be a future grand tiger. The instructor is great with every child she teaches.“

“My 3 kids have all gone to Mt Kim taekwondo for years and the youngest (5) started later and is still in it. The older two are on pause due to scheduling conflicts. I have nothing but good things to say. My shy one was brought out of her shell through this class and gained confidence in her athletic ability. All of them went willingly and looked forward to progressing to the next tape/belt - a great motivator! All the instructors are so good at getting to know the kids individually and working with them to help them advance. They split the kids up in groups of 3-4 for forms and technique, which is super helpful. I did tkd growing up and think this would have been great if my dojang had the resources tot each us in small groups. Highly recommend Mt Kim.“

“my 9 year is having a great time at GB Leesburg. Professor Charles and the other coaches do a great job keeping the kids engaged!“

“Mr Andrew and the other instructors are amazing. It feels like a small community. It has taught my children confidence and self reliance.“

“Mr. Robert is doing an awesome job as an instructor. The course contents are also fun, practical, as well as educational.“

“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!“

“Excellent – Cannot say enough good things about Kore Self Defense! Great staff – well trained – personable – approachable – welcoming – supportive & accommodating. Their self-defense training takes in to account your limits, your abilities and then work with you to find what works for you - “training within your body”. Meanwhile they offer classes where You can work at your pace to improve You – creating a healthier and more capable You. Additionally, they are the only self-defense gym in the area that I’m aware of that offers focused women’s only self defense classes – led by women!“

“Our kids have been coming here for over 4 years now. Initially it was masters Park, Lim and Alex who worked with the kids and it turned out to be a successful formula. Now Masters Jane, Ollie and Alex work extremely hard with the kids. There’s no place like UST Tigers( formerly Phoenix). We all love the masters and this place so much that we factor it in when looking for a new home. Would’ve moved East a while back but stayed because of UST/Phoenix.“

“• Great with the children• High Energy• Learning Environment• Teachers are genuine & the children feed off of that!“

“My two kids and I have been attending this Taekwondo school for 4 years, and we absolutely love it! The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, the classes are engaging, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming. We have seen great progress in our skills and confidence since joining. Highly recommend this school for anyone looking to learn Taekwondo!“

“NoVa TSD has been an essential support for the TSD Club I attend in Maryland. Their instructors, out of the goodness of their hearts, have sacrificed their time and energy to help us with our testing and have come up and lead day-long clinics. The love that they have shown us through their knowledge has been an inspiration to me and to my club. I also attend their monthly instructor training and have found it to be extremely helpful for me to develop the holistic approach to martial arts training in mind, body and spirit. I highly recommend any association with these people!Carl S., First Degree Black Belt“

“Not only are Master Lee and Master Seo are súper but also are te instructors who assist class. Everyone seems to actually care for my kids and give them encouragement to do there best“

“I'm going to have to take a star off of this modified review.What I liked about this place especially is that the instructors care and want you to excel in what they're teaching you. They will especially drill you in doing the safety rolls correctly for the sake of your own safety.While I cannot comment on the kenjutsu portion of the curriculum, since I never took it, I do believe that the Aikijutsu portion is very effective. You will learn how to especially counter wrist grabs, which is honestly an absolute asset for those who carry, and how to throw and to pin in ways not seen in Judo or Aikido, sportified or watered down arts derived from battlefield jujutsu arts.I took a star off because I felt bowing to the shinza (a Shinto kamidana shrine without the ofuda) was wrong and offensive to my religious faith, despite the dojo saying doing so wasn't religious.I also took some issue with the dojo etiquette. I felt it asked me to go beyond the call of duty of respect and courtesy to my instructors and classmates. I respect the sensei of the dojo especially for his skill and expertise. He was proof that learning Aikijutsu would be worth my while.I'm sorry to go.“

“The agenda for summer camp program here is excellent. My daughter asks me to pick her up the latest possible because she just does not want to miss out on any activities. My daughter is generally shy, but the staffs and the camp program help her to grow more confident through teamwork activities and games. Master, Mrs Kwon, and the assistant teachers are very nice and helpful. I would highly recommend summer camp program at Kwon's Centreville.“

“My family has been going to Capital for the last six years. It is a relaxed family friendly environment. Coach Iman runs a great CrossFit program & scales it to all levels. Coaches Steve & Rudy run great all levels Muay Thai classes. Professors John & Roland expertly translate Jiu-Jitsu to all practitioners. Coaches George & Jenna are great with the kids!“
