Cannot say enough good things about Master Mike and his school. My 8 year old has attended classes…read morefor about 1.5 years now and LOVES it. We tried another facility with good reviews prior and it just wasn't up to par. Master Mike knows how to control a class and have fun at the same time. He also coaches the children on real life scenarios and takes time to focus on building character - courtesy, honesty, respect for themselves and others, etc. Classes for adults as well!

I can't say enough about Citadel Training Solutions what does that mean? Starting from the…read morebeginning. Bradley Messick and his team were outstanding when it came to providing their services. Their class setup and knowledge they brought forward on current Maryland case law left me with the confidence and knowledge to continue in maintaining and being a responsible and safe permit holder. Citadel Training Solutions also covers a variety of equipment which not only includes firearms but first response and emergency first aid equipment. Using your own equipment? Not sure? You can reach out to Brad for recommendations which I really felt comfortable with because their communications were on-point, email, text, cell phone they won't leave you hanging, all my communications were returned promptly, and that didn't stop there. Their classroom setup was comfortable and efficient with two extremely large monitors that can be viewed from every seat in the classroom, comfortable chairs, and ample desk space for taking notes. Citadel training also had me covered, if you are unsure in using your own equipment for qualifying on the range they are able to provide you with theirs should you prefer and their leaving no student behind the curve attitude is excellent if you were to feel to be a little nervous, but as classes move forward that will simply melt away.

They mentioned they are moving to a new larger gym which is exciting for them as they have a great group of folks training

Coach James is pretty laid back but he's serious when he comes to instructing me and my teammates. I've seen not only my body become stronger and my stamina improve but my skills have definitely gotten better. I've really fallen in love with the sport and a great reason as to why is because of the continuous support from everyone in the gym including coach. We'll have family fight nights and watch the fights together and teammates bring their children along. We also do carpool arrangements to help get each other to different matches, to support the different teammates that are fighting. Coach James is a fair and reasonable guy. Very approachable. Any time I needed support or have had questions for him he has assisted me or partnered me with someone who could sharpen my skills. I'll be coming here for as long as I can. The familial support and the light-heartedness of the gym can't be beat. 1, 2, 3, AMAG!

We've done Before and After School program, virtual class during Covid, and summer camps. My kids have a great time, are active and learn about discipline, respect, and hard work. The staff is top notch. It's easy to see that the environment there is positive, and everyone loves what they do; no easy feat when dealing with children. Master Robert is a gem. He takes a vested interest in every student, listens, and corrects any issues. He also recruited the dream team of Jr. Master Nick, Assistant Instructor Sam, Alex, and Christy. The facility is always clean, the staff greets you upon arrival, I trust them with safely transporting my children to and from school. The price is fair and my son put it perfectly when he said "Black Belt feels like a second home".
