Bellicose Martial Arts is absolutely fantastic for both adults and kids! My kids (ages 6, 11, and…read more13) had such a blast! They're already counting down to their next class. I take my class across the hall from my kid's classroom. The instructors are approachable, always ready to answer questions, and the staff couldn't be more respectful. It's amazing to walk into a place where everyone knows your name; we feel like we are part of the Bellicose family every time we step in. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, welcoming, family-oriented, and top-notch fitness, martial arts, and self defense experience in the Bowie/Crofton area.

I was very hesitant to try kickboxing-thought it was too hard and would be too much for me. I was…read morelooking for a way to relieve stress while improving my fitness and stamina. My hesitation was unwarranted because Bellicose is fantastic!! The owners and instructors are encouraging and very helpful. Mr. Q plays no games and that is what I needed. In the beginning, I only came if my friends came-now I go alone if they can't make it. My confidence and stamina has grown in these few months. I can't thank them enough. The energy is infectious and I have made many new friends. If you are looking for a supportive, fun place to get in shape-Bellicose is it.

Greetings, During my…read more7 years of training the art of jiu-Jitsu I've been to many gyms. 301 MMA is by far one of the most technical, friendly, humble gymns I've had the privilege to train in. If you find that your gym ostracizes you, is unkind to you, uses vulgar language in your presence, hurt you with out repercussion and filled with haughty individuals who hurt you to impress their girlfriend, then please leave you're jiu-Jitsu academy and attend 301 MMA.

Ok, I'll admit it! If I really like a place and want to keep it to myself, I won't do a review on…read moreit. Selfish? Nah, smart! Some things you just want to keep to yourself. Well, I was on the fence about writing this review, because I absolutely love my personal trainer and I didn't want others infringing upon our sessions. Besides, I didn't want everyone to know my little secret....find your own trainer! LOL! Ultimately, I decided to write this review because I know what an awesome personal trainer Darnell is and figured I should share. I can't express enough how much Darnell has changed my work-out experience! Never have I ever been a person to look forward to working out. Since working out with Mr. Strong Soul himself, I not only look forward to working-out, I show up early and give 100% each and every time. Darnell is a certified professional trainer, professional MMA fighter, motivational speaker, self defense instructor, nutritional adviser, and has a certified purple belt in Brazilian jujitsu. Jack of all trades and a master at ALL that he touches. More than a trainer who's yelling and barking orders, he genuinely cares about making you the healthiest you've ever been. His vibrant spirit and encouragement makes you feel that you can take on the world. While his calm demeanor makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. He expects great things from you and makes sure you're getting the best possible results, to reach your goal. He takes into consideration former or present injuries and customizes your work-outs to suit your needs. He's punctual, encouraging, professional, accommodating and an extremely hard worker. He's not just my trainer, he's like the little brother I never had. We've bonded and now there's no getting rid of me, well until I reach my goal weight. Lol! With such a positive outlook on life, you can't help but to comply to his orders and work your hardest. So there you have it...cat's out the bag, the jig is up, my best kept secret is now out for the world to see. Side note: Hopefully this awesome review will pull at Darnell's heart strings and he'll allow me to eat some freaking bread and pasta!! Somehow, I highly doubt it though. LOL!

This is my favorite gym to work out at ! I had Darnell as my trainer last summer and I told him my…read moregoals. He did everything he could and promised me I would drop 20 pounds before going back to school. Sure enough I dropped 20 pounds in 4 weeks !! CANT WAIT TO COME BACK THIS SUMMER

He brings so much energy to every class, and leverages a wealth of personal/professional experience to teach us how to be holistically better. I literally learn something new each class and he has inspired me to share my passion with the world as a personal trainer. And, to top it all off, ever since I started working with Darelle a few years ago, I have gotten so much stronger. When we met, I was fresh off of a severe leg injury and could barely squat...he taught me how to gradually develop strength and mobility through a variety exercises and now I'm better than ever! I could go on, but I'll stop here. Thanks a million!! #Oohrah

He is very encouraging when he is leading a class with comments such as "You can do this for 1 minute." Or "Keep going you only have 30 seconds left." He reminds everyone to keep breathing. Darelle shows modified exercises for beginners and ways to make the exercise more challenging for the advanced bootcampers. The fellow bootcampers are friendly and encouraging! The studio is clean and the equipment is in good shape. I highly recommend OohRah Fitness for anyone at any level of fitness.

I achieved my Black Belt in 2017 with Arisen. Before them I have had seven different Taekwondo instructors and out of all of them, none were as good as Mr.Alan & Mr.Anthony. They manage to keep class's fun and fresh even if we have already done the same thing a thousand times. They are really good with the kids and always work to improve everyone individually. They see what each kids needs and try their hardest to assist in everyone's growth. They also teach Kali, Brazilian Jujitsu, Kickboxing. This place as everything you could want from a school. I ask that you do not listen to my words but instead come and try the place out.

At the time, CrossFit was the furthest thing from my personal work out of choice. However, they talked me into giving it a try and I fell in love with it. Not just because it is a fantastic full body workout, but because of the incredibly supportive and encouraging environment. It is the kind of fitness community where everybody supports one another and it does not matter what your fitness level is. All of the workouts can be modified to suit anyone despite their age, or fitness ability. If you have never tried CrossFit, I would highly recommend that you consider this box for your first time. You will not feel uncomfortable at all and might learn that you love it! I highly recommend.
