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.

All of the coaches there from the jiu-jitsu coaches, boxing coach, Muay Thai coach they're all great and very helpful if you ask. I would highly recommend going here. It's $160 a month for unlimited classes. It's totally worth it in my opinion if you're a fan of mixed martial arts, gyms don't get much better than this. I really don't see what they could do much better than what they already have so John, good job, and I look forward to meeting you in the future.

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.

The training quality does not match the high fees they are charging. It feels unfair to bill students like this, especially when many of us are on tight budgets. Overall, this place feels like a trap -- easy to sign up, but very difficult to get out of without being charged extra. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for transparent pricing or quality training.
