You really get pushed and challenged. A lot more than you would if you did it on your own. Anyone can do it, but they are going to get the most out of you no matter what your level of fitness is.

I visited Kore Krav Maga last year for a week of instructor training, and I was totally impressed…read moreby the way that the McCrackens run their school. First thing I noticed is that everything is clean, which is really important when you're training in close contact with people, and especially if you ever do any training on the ground. Next, I noticed how friendly all of the students and instructors were. The culture of the place is very welcoming. I can be a bit shy at first, so having people go out of their way to say hello and show me around was pretty great. Lastly, I want to mention the huge amount of knowledge the instructors bring to their students. For instance, the lead instructor, Tammy McCracken, is the Director of the US Women's Division for Krav Maga Global, and she's constantly going to seminars and conferences and the like to learn more about how people can defend themselves. They have created an environment where all people, regardless of size/age/ability, can train together and not feel awkward or like they don't belong. The benefits of making this your regular gym can't be understated - fitness, self defense, friendship, empowerment... the list just keeps going. Love this place!

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 .

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.

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.

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!

Well, a few weeks ago, our daughter's classmate invited her to a birthday party at Super Kicks Ashburn. I didn't think she would like it, but she loved it and was smiling the entire time. Signed our daughter and her little brother up for an intro class. Our son isn't ready yet, but our daughter is still loving it, and we think our son will slowly warm up to it. What makes Super Kicks special enough for everyone to drive around with these magnets on their cars? I think it's the welcoming and fun atmosphere, combined with a noticeable effort to encourage the kids and families beyond the scheduled class time. Give Super Kicks a try!

MASE Training is one of the most motivating and professional gyms I have ever encountered. I have…read moreseen OUTSTANDING results training with them for less than a year. I am able to lift more, run faster, jump higher, and endure longer, and my body has seen the results of these efforts as well. Their #1 concern is your safety, and will work diligently to ensure you have good technique before increasing the difficulty. I always feel safe and know that while I may feel the burn, I will never get injured while working with them. However, MASE truly shines by understanding each person's limits. They are amazing at understanding your maximum abilities and potential (both mental and physical) and can push you through them without breaking you. Eddie and his trainers can see through the excuses, even when you yourself may not be able to, but also will put the reigns on if they see that something isn't right, even if you want to push it harder. I always know that they will only give me what I can handle, not an ounce more or less, which gives me the confidence to attack each workout with the fire that they demand. That being said, these guys are no joke. They demand total discipline and that you really try, even on days with easier routines. Workouts are well balanced between strength training, cardio, agility, flexibility, and any other style you can imagine. Workouts are rarely repeated, and they can be quite inventive about our "torture." As a side note, Eddie is quite religious, and it sometimes comes through in his motivational speeches, but while I am not personally religious, it doesn't bother me. He is always positive and has a smile and love for everybody, and he truly believe in seeing the best in us. He and his trainers obviously do this because they genuinely want to help people and improve their health and quality of life. I never thought that I would be singing the praises of such a demanding gym, but here I am. I highly recommend them!

OTF Sterling is a cool studio, in a decently remote location…read more I enjoy interacting w/ the people here most of time. The front desk and coaches are amicable and outgoing in general. Members are hit or miss but is generally the golden rule across any studio you'd consider. There's a nearby walkable Lotte Mart, useful for grocery stopping, and Korean BB.Q chicken -- recommend trying it if you haven't. Otherwise, good spot, bit out of the way, that may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for me that's acceptable as is the commute on my end.
