Stanley Combatives is the perfect gym in which to train combat sports. The environment is…read moreexceedingly welcoming and family friendly. Brian Stanley is extremely well-trained, knowledgeable, passionate, and kind. He has created an environment that focuses on being humble warriors and respecting all but fearing none. The encouraging energy is created by instructors and fellow teammates. The vibes of the gym resemble that of a close-knit team, and we consider ourselves a family that opens its arms to anyone who wants to put in the work and learn something new. With that being said, everyone at the gym likes to have a good time and classes are often accompanied with laughs. Stanley Combatives currently offers a variety of class options including Muay Thai, BJJ, conditioning, and street self-defense. Personally, I had never trained any kind of combat sports before joining the gym, but I enjoyed it from the moment I stepped on the mat. 10/10 cannot recommend enough- absolutely top tier.

Inspired initially by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, my very active 5 yr old son has been asking for…read morea long time to take a martial art. Most of the classes I found were housed in inconvenient locations with classes running right around rush hour so I kept putting it off. I just happened to be driving up York Rd. when I noticed Kanjizai Dojo and called immediately. We were offered 4 free classes to see what my son's interest level would be. From the first class he loved it! The sole reason for the this is the amazing instructor Kevin Lockett. Imagine if you will, ten to fifteen unfocused, wound-up 4 to 8 yr olds all learning at different levels. He must be the most patient man on earth. He manages to keep them focused, learning, and having fun all at the same time. My son is so proud of himself after every class. I highly recommend this martial arts school and I understand that he is just as patient and effective with adults!

AMAZING CLASSES. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND.

This year my youngest has decided she will only attend karate summer camp next year as no other camp will be as fun! Both of my girls have bloomed by leaps and bounds in self confidence and self care. Everyone hear cares about each and every student. As a family we couldn't be more happy to be involved with such a great team of people.

All of the instructors are very professional and helpful with the kids. I'd highly recommend it for people looking to get their kids into something a little more structured and teach discipline and self-esteem.

Personally, he literally made sure my number was in your phone & that I had his # the instant I initiated for a personal training. 3.

As far as a coach can go, he always knows when who needs what & most importantly who needs to problem solve for themselves before his assists.

My family has been very happy at Shihan Marc's Karate Academy…read more We shopped around and tried numerous other places. One seems too babyish, one seem too much like an afterschool program, one was much too crowded, another was too far away. We finally settled on Shihan Marc at first because of the location. When we went to the studio it was clean, attractive and inviting. Although the classes are full, it doesn't feel too crowded.(most of the time) Shihan Marc and Sensei Erin are superhuman in their ability to make each kid feel a part of things. They are kind and friendly and remember everybody's names. They integrate the new kids quickly. I'm taking my kids to Karate to learn discipline and respect. I feel that Shihan Marc's is definitely about fitness, respect, discipline, but they have fun too. It's definitely a huge commitment to go twice a week indefinitely. We signed up for a year. I wasn't sure how it all worked until we had already done the introductory classes. Had I known what a commitment it was, I might not have taken that first step. But my kids are doing well, and seem to enjoy it. The depth of growth that we are investing in will take time, but I know we are doing a good thing and I can't think of a better place for them or better teachers. If you're looking for a Karate school in the Timonium area, this is the best by far.

Very great program and flexible schedules to meet the needs of all the families Shihan Marc serves.read more

My daughter has attended the Goddard School in Owings Mills for over 2 years now and I must say…read morethat I am completely satisfied with the curriculum and the excellent, well-rounded education she is receiving there. The teachers are professional, well trained, amazing and actually go above and beyond to equip the students for kindergarten. They are not glorified babysitters, your child will learn (my 3 year old already writes her name by herself)! Their goal is to ensure that your child is placed at a vantage point when they graduate from Goddard and move on to kindergarten. I am very happy with the quality teachers my daughter has had every step of the way. There used to be a high turnover of staff but that has now become a thing of the past. Mr. Tarun bought the school and he has made so many wonderful changes to the school. For example, he added Mandarin Chinese to the curriculum in order to better prepare the students to thrive in in the multi-cultural world we live in. He also added Yoga to the curriculum to improve the students' overall health. Speaking of health, he has completely overhauled the daily snacks given to the children to include healthy choices like fruits and vegetables. I also love the daily reports that is sent out to let you know what exactly your child has been up to all day. They even include cute pictures of your child in the report . I could go on and on about how amazing Goddard at Owings Mills truly is. Choosing this school for my child is one of the best decisions I have made for her. This school is the best when it comes to the care, growth and development of their students.

Nothing but great things to say about Goddard owings mills! The teachers and staff are amazing…read more We've loved our time here.

My 10 year old has been taking fencing lessons here for the past 3 months and he loves it. I have…read morebeen so impressed with Coach Paye - I can't say enough good things about him - a great instructor and the patience of a Job working with these boys and girls. He breaks all of the moves down in a way that they really understand and he always ensures that safety is priority 1. Essential since you are talking about kids armed with swords :) They learn discipline and he gets them involved in all aspects of the sport including how to score a match, etc. It had been so great to find a sport that my kid really loves - he did soccer and baseball but I could tell his heart just wasn't in it. If you have a child that doesn't 'fit the mold' maybe give fencing a try. Plus another compelling reason: #ScholarshipSport!
