    We have been going here for over a month now and really enjoy it . It's really generous that the…read moreowner lets the kids try out the program for a free two week trial. My son had never participated in anything like this before but as soon as he had his first class he really loved it and kept asking to continue . I like how the coaches don't treat the kids like babies and add a sense of discipline. Jake is one of the coaches there and it's really awesome to see him calling the kids by their names and supporting them throughout the class.

    First off, I am obsessed with Muay Thai. Been training since 2014 and competing since 2017, with 3…read moremonths training in Thailand. I'm not a great fighter at all but muay thai is something I truly love. I look forward to it at the end of the day and see it as something that gives and rejuvenates me rather than taking away from me. Anyways, I came to TAG MT during a business trip and had known about this school already from watching TAG MT youtube instructional vids. I came early and got to see the kids class. It's a great balance of technical drills but also having lots of fun as the reward. The coaches are great and the kids look up to them, fully engaged and are adorable in their big Muay Thai shorts :P Head Instructor Kru Chris Aboy has an amazing personality and teaching style. His encyclopedic knowledge and teaching methodology is phenomenal. He can read each student individually while also making adjustments to the class as a whole depending on where everyone is at with the previous drill. You don't feel left behind at all. Coach James is amazing as well leading the partner drills and demos (for both Kids + Adults). In general, Phase 1 covers fundamental techniques including movement, defense, attacks, and counters through progressive partner drills. Coaches will demo technique, then go around reading students and providing helpful corrections and explaining the reasons why. Calistechnics and shadowboxing in-between rounds really push the conditioning. Controlled sparring drills towards the end adds just enough unpredictability yet retaining safety and technique. Phase 2 builds upon Phase 1 and adds in more advanced drills, focusing on more advanced strategies and technical sparring. For seasoned nak muay, TAG offers an in-depth knowledge and well rounded in all aspects. I really love their elbow/knee/clinch game. Nothing is watered down at all. I learned a LOT of new details to improve my technique is just one session. Most importantly, I felt taken care of and safe the entire time. If you live in the DC Metro Area and are interested in learning Muay Thai, whether it's for self-defense or competition, I strongly suggest checking out TAG Muay Thai. You will learn authentic, pure hard-hitting Muay Thai at TAG, along with the humility and respect of Traditional Muay Thai.

    HANDS DOWN thee best place we've found in Loudoun County! We've tried a couple different places…read morewith our kids and have met with others in and around Ashburn/Leesburgh. Hidy Ochiai Karate stood out above them all! Their classes go beyond the regular karate classes that other martial arts places provide. Here, they also do Kobudo which we learned is the use of ancient weapons! Trust me, your kids will go bonkers for this class!! It's taught in an extremely safe way, but still makes the kids feel like ninja superstars! I kind of want to take it myself :D Our daughter also did the summer camp this past summer and she loved it! She came home with real calligraphy paintings! Another thing that pushes them to the top is that they have Master Hidy Ochiai himself who comes down from New York to do special teachings with the kids each month. Look him up on YouTube and watch him slice an apple on someone's neck .... wait for it .... blindfolded! His skills are incredible and he is incredible with the kids as well. This school is in no competition with any other Martial Arts place because it's THAT good! I want to write a novel on here, lol, but I won't. Just one last thing to note: Sensei Winkler himself is AHmazing with the kids too. The way he talks and interacts with the kids makes them listen and have fun. I've sat and watched him a number of times when my daughter is in class. He's structured and fun, which is exactly what my daughter needs! Sensei Winkler is an incredible teacher because he has a lifetime of experience and many trophies from national Championship tournaments! You have to at the very least come to their free class on Saturdays!

The Masters are really encouraging (and sarcastic). I have friends that go there and (I think) they would sleep there sometimes. It's really fun. It's great that they wear uniforms and have names on eir black belts. When there's belt testing, there's a belt ceremony (although you don't have to go and it takes... too long). It's one of the two (maybe three) activities that make me want to exercise, practice, etc.

    Where do I begin…read more... I was planning to take my 4-year-old son to Majest Martial Arts for their summer camp program, but after visiting the location I quickly changed my mind. They duped me into paying a non-refundable registration fee BEFORE allowing me to have a tour of the facility. But that's not the part that stinks..... Their idea of 'outside time' is letting kids play along a concrete alleyway that leads to oncoming traffic (accident waiting to happen). I didn't see ONE staff member outside supervising. The classrooms are filthy. The floors were heavily stained, and the room is over crowded with junk. Small children are forced to use the public/main restroom while the older kids have restrooms inside the classroom (seems backwards) You can't differentiate between staff/teachers and random people off the street because no one wears a uniform -- I wasn't sure who to address upon walking into the building. The issue I struggled with the most is their lack of organization. Parents are forced to put their credit card information on a sheet of paper (for weekly account withdraws) that is kept in a folder out in the open at the front desk. (shouldn't that be under lock and key?) Lastly, I voiced my concern with the office manager and she gave me nothing but attitude. I returned the next day to make sure I wasn't over exaggerating about my initial visit, and the manager looked at me and said 'it's the same as it was yesterday.' That was all the confirmation I needed to ask for my paperwork back and enroll my son elsewhere. Don't waste your time or money.
