210 Dominion Rd NE, Vienna“I started this class a 4 foot 10 female who had 4 serious operations. My original 2 goals were to gain back my strength, and learn how to defend myself. Being 4 foot 10 and a female, you get underestimated quickly.The first thing I noticed in my first class was the close to my height female, who was a black belt and defending herself against guys much taller than her (Denise). That was the first sign that I was in the right place. Any woman who wants to gain confidence, and learn how to recognize just how much power she has should join this class, Denise is the best women's self-defense instructor.The second thing I began to hear and notice was that Sensei not only practices karate, he lives and breathes it. It takes dedication to practice something every day for more than 50 years. Along with learning how to defend myself, I started to get the urge to be disciplined and practice. I wanted to be as good as the higher belts that have been under Sensei, learning his dedication to the practice of karate.Wanting to learn, practice, and be good at something is a whole separate other goal from just wanting to learn how to defend myself. I found something that I enjoy doing and want to be better at.But, for someone who may be looking into taking this class just to get out of the house and join a group, this is the best group to join. This isn't just a karate class, it's a karate family. This is a group of people who will be your friend. Everyone in this class is caring. If someone is ill, they check up on them. If someone has a family emergency, they are quick to ask if there is anything they can do to help. And Sensei doesn't just see his students as bodies in the class, he cares for every single one of them along their journey through karate, however short or long it may be.“
“LBETKD has been so wonderful for my kids! They have tried several sports and this is the only one that has truly improved their confidence. The owners are the kindest and most patient people, and the staff is all so helpful and encouraging. It is such a positive environment for your child. My only regret is that we didn't start sooner!“
“A wonderful studio, with passionate instructors, who create a family environment. This was our first journey into martial arts for our 5 year old, and I’m so grateful we found this dojo.“

9514 Main St, Fairfax“Elite M.A Center is the best place around! The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and professional. Sanitary facility, excellent front desk staff. I have two children in the program and it is excellent. Classes are taught in a challenging manner, also discipline, perseverance, confidence and respect. Students earn their belts and are not simply given a belt because they have attended the school for a certain period of time. They learn at their own pace until they master a level and achieve a belt. It teaches boys and girls the skills they need to handle or defend themselves in any given situation.“
“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.“

9568 Old Keene Mill Rd, Burke“My 11 year old grandson visited me for 3 weeks this summer and I was afraid with the COVID virus I would not be able to keep him busy but after touring Burke's Elite and meeting staff I felt comfortable with him attending day camp there. I took it one week at a time because I still had some reservations but the agenda they had for him daily was more than enough and we enrolled for the entire 3 weeks he was in town. To mention how excited he was with the day camp and staff he would walk the several blocks each morning if was moving to slow for him. I would highly this center. The staff was so friendly and awesome!! My grandson and I look forward to next year's summer camp at Elite. Thank you Elite staff you made my summer!“
