Martial Arts Schools near Vienna

“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.“

“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!“

“My son attends Kicks Karate and really looks forward to attending each class. The teachers were very direct and used discipline and good form in creating self-defense techniques.“

“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! :)“

“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.“

“I highly recommend this school, and these instructors!

It's been an absolutely *fantastic* learning experience. Husband & wife team of Shifu Chris & Weiwei Friedman are obviously, **extremely** knowledgeable and accomplished in Shaolin Kung Fu -- and very fit, too! They're also friendly, patient, and have a great sense of humor. And the other students are kind and friendly, too. We're all just learning and improving together.

The classes and training are suitable for adults of all ages, if you have decent basic mobility. You don't need any prior knowledge or training in martial arts. This is NOT like a kickboxing or cross-fit class ... it's not at that intensity level, but you can get a good workout from it.

I studied martial arts MANY years ago -- including earning a black sash in a different system of kung fu, having studied at schools in 3 different states to earn that. The other system was "good," but this experience with Shifu Chris & Weiwei is far more authentic, informative, and enriching.

I had subscribed to Inside Kung Fu Magazine for 20yrs, and was surprised that Shifu Chris had articles in several of those back issues (!!) from when he & Weiwei lived in China years ago. There he is ... studying and training with the leaders and students there!

Try this out. You will like it. ??“

“My son loves Kicks Karate! The staff is super helpful, kind, and genuinely wants every child to love their experience. Lana has been fantastic to work with to coordinate scheduling, and all of the teachers have been wonderful. Highly recommend for any parents looking for a class that teaches active listening and focus for their young kids.“

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

“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!!!“

“Amazing family run business!! My husband and kids have been training here for 10+ years and can’t say enough about First Defense. They have created a professional, yet homey environment that makes you feel like family.“

“My son had been at EMA for over a year and I couldn’t say enough kind stuff about the school and camp programs. The teachers and very patient and fun. Highly recommend“

“Great school for kids to learn discipline, listening skills, and Tae Kwon do. The instructors are caring and skilled. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“We love BBA and everything it’s done for our kids and our family. Mr. E is truly the best and makes everyone feel welcomed and like family. We highly recommend BBA.“

“Absolutely incredible program and teachers! My son Bobby started when he was 4 and has been going for 2 years now. He has also attended their summer camp and had his last birthday party with them at Cabin John mall- HUGE success and they all had a total blast! Would HIGHLY recommend them!!“

“Amazing! I recently enrolled my 3 boys and couldn't be happier with the class and the staff. Master Micheal is wonderful with the kids.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing staff and teachers! Very warm and welcoming. My daughter loves her Taekwondo classes.“
