I am probably the last person who would have thought I would do any sort of MMA. If someone told me…read moreI should do this a couple of weeks ago, I would have got a great laugh and stuffed myself silly with chocolate. Recently, I was in the market for trying something new because Groupon adventures add interest to my life. This was one of them. 1st day of instruction went something like this: We show up, do some basic movements, pair up, practice, and somewhere in between we switch partners and I am paired with a 200lb wrestler. HAH! After getting shaken around a bit, still scared out of my mind and questioning my choices up to that point, I got a great workout, a load of information, and some very useful self-defense moves. Bless these guys for going easy on me because I do not have any sort of muscle definition. I bet if I come here often enough I can one day overtake them because BJJ is more so about skill than it is about strength. The instructor Josh was very patient with us. We came in with no experience and he was able to skillfully show us how to do BJJ even if it took a couple of times. Can't say this type of workout is for everyone since it's a full contact sport but, was very fun and an incredible workout. Would highly recommend this place to anyone, amateur or pro who wants to improve their skill because the skills you learn are definitely useful. Keep in mind this place is not aesthetically pleasing and not the cleanest because people keep sweating profusely but, it's still a great learning experience with awesome people who know their craft so, that's why I gave it 5 stars. Definitely, check out their site for schedules and such because there's more info on there. Give it a chance if you're up for the challenge!

My oldest daughter is a purple belt. She's in weekend and Monday night classes during the school year. The instructors are excellent - that's the distinction. They know the students. It's a cooperative and disciplined environment. When I observe a class, the students all seem like leaders irrespective of their belt colors. They look purposeful to me. With Kaizen, it's a never-ending season. And no one sits on the bench. I could go on about how this helps my parenting role, but every kid is unique. I've seen kids engage; I've seen them mature.

Whenever I tried to go to their website I felt I am signing up for a high level security job. The online registration system is far most the difficult for after school sign ups.

I paid by phone with their office staff. I received a flyer and PTA ask me to write a check. I believe they are still old school with online registration. If they would consider upgrading I would return and refer other families.

We started going to keep in shape during Covid and partly for me to live out my dream of being a Kung Fu fighting Hero and we ended up falling in love with it and the teachers! Just recently the instructors incorporated a "Squid Game" theme for our class and it was soo much fun that we were almost ok with doing intense training because of all the fun we were having. That just shows, to me at least, that the teachers are knowledgeable on the current times/events and are committed to looking for new ways to keep us engaged. Did I mention how friendly and kind everyone from the owner to staff members are? They are patient with my boys, but also stern and I find that to be a great balance. I can't wait to see how much we all grow from these classes and experience. I recommend King Tiger Martial Arts to all! Even if you think you're old like me sign up lol!

So when my wife researched and found Dennis Brown Shaolin Wu-Shu Kung Fu Training Center a little over a year ago, I was thrilled! To say that the staff is awesome is an understatement. Our 10 year old son not only has learned so many valuable techniques to defend himself, but also has competed in international (US Capitol Classics China Open) and local (DC Youth Classics) tournaments. He's consistently getting straight A's in school and his confidence in himself is quite apparent. Grand Master Brown, Master Seto, Master Chisolm & Shifu Victoria are just a few of the leaders that our family are indebted to. We highly endorse and recommend this school !!!

I found a Groupon for kickboxing and decided to jump in. I was early for the lesson so I was…read moredirected to a second studio to warm up while the group before finished. The woman who assisted me at the desk was super nice and helpful. After warming up I joined up with the main group. For a Monday night I was shocked to see what was about 40 people in the room doing kickboxing warm ups. I struggled to keep up for the first few exercises, but the individual next to me encouraged me and showed me the combinations a little slower so I caught on quick. The instructor also came over to check on me to make sure I was okay since I looked a little lost. But by the end I was smiling and sweaty. There is no "take a break," it is a high intensity 45-minute cardio experience. I loved every second and will probably stay after my initial Groupon is up. Recommend you bring water if you do this class... and maybe a yoga mat as you do lay on the floor for some of the course and it can be a bit dirty from all the shoes on the mat. The kickboxing classes meet Monday nights, Wednesday nights and Saturday late morning.

Completely neglectful and unprofessional establishment! I wanted to enroll my 3 yr old in the BAMS…read moreLittle Ninja's, age 3-6 program. I spoke more with Professor Bam, the owner, about the program and although there were many other programs near us I chose to support even though it was 30+ mins away. He even mentioned how his son started as a toddler at the gym. However, I quickly realized they have no idea how to run a class for 3 year olds. 1st Orientation - I quickly realized we were in a class with older/advanced belted kids who were already enrolled (maybe 6-8+ year olds). I was given the impression that we would attend a trial for the Little Ninjas kids class, not a drop-in to an advanced class with current students of older ages/belts. However, like the champ that he is, my child did a great job trying to keep up in spite of the lack of developmentally appropriate instruction. The owner insisted my child did well (given the circumstances) and said he should continue the trial period. 2nd Orientation - we arrived 5-10 mins early, did covid pre-screening & temp checks with Kimber, the owner's wife/co-instructor, who was not present at the 1st orientation. Red flag #1: After pre-screening, I sat down to take my child's shoes off, but was told I couldn't sit on the chair bc of covid protocol. Ok cool - I got up, took his shoes off while crouched on the floor. Side note, I'm pregnant, but understand that protocol is for everyone. I then asked Kimber if I could use the gym restroom. Though I am visibly pregnant, she said I couldn't use the open restroom (located 5 ft away from me) due to covid, but could walk all the way to the main entrance of the bldg and find another. I looked at her with absurdity, but again respected the protocol and waddled all the way through the main bldg in search of a restroom which were all locked! Y'all, it took me 10 MINS to find one and a janitor to unlock it!! All bc she didn't let me use the one in the facility BEFORE class even started. If we were pre-screened to enter the gym, what was the big deal? Afterwards, I waddled all the way back around to the gym only to find my 3 y/o child OUTSIDE with just his socks on and Kimber standing inside the doorway like security. I asked why my child was put out with no shoes, she claims bc he wasn't listening/following along with the owner who was leading the older kids in a belt advancement test...says he kept taking off his mask and couldn't be in the gym without it, so he had to stand outside (without shoes!). I realized my son's mask was wet, took him to the car to get a fresh dry mask. I bring him back to the gym and she says she doesn't think the class is a good fit for him because of his age (well yeah, Kimber...he's 3 in an advanced "orientation" with over a dozen 6-8+ year olds). Kimber's verbal abuse continued as she called my child verbally unresponsive and asked me if he'd ever been to "other types of classes before". For the last 15 mins of class, Kimber dumped my child in the back of the class to fend for himself without any proper instruction. After class, she insisted we not enroll in the Little Ninja's class which would have been developmentally age appropriate. We came for a fun trial, but only received abuse and neglect. ...and Kimber, please do not message me on here to offer a farce of an apology in an attempt to vindicate yourself for your calloused and neglectful behavior. You know what you did and, as long as this review is, it still doesn't even fully describe the extent of your gross unprofessionalism. There is not a word you can type here that would excuse your actions nor negate the karma that you just asked for or may even have already gotten. Instead, do some deep self-reflection on this feedback and strive to implement better policies to make sure that the student of any parent who woefully spends their hard earned money with you, gets the absolute best care and service. Would you have treated your own child in that manner? A BETTER ATTITUDE can take you further than the negativity that you so boldly displayed!
