A focus is put on positive behaviors in addition to TKD. For instance the younger kids have to pay attention, listen, follow directions as criteria to move up. It's been a positive experience for our family. We'll continue as long as the kids' desire. The class prices are cheap at the start when they're only going once per week. The cost increases as the kids quickly level up to three days per week and beyond depending on how serious you want to get in the sport.

So I highly recommend their school to try. Plus they offer free classes as well.

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.

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.

Just wondering if parents that are dropping their kids off for the "summer program" at 5 Peaks…read moreMartial Arts Academy, are aware their kids are running races in the parking lot! It's not two kids at a time, it's 10-15 kids at a time. As I pulled around the corner in the parking lot I saw all these kids running towards me. I'm glad I wasn't going fast because it would have been a disaster. This is a very busy parking lot with people from the caterer and the groomer pulling in and out all day. Believe me, the cars race around that corner. I tried to explain to the young man that was standing there, "holding the line" how dangerous it was. Another young man came up and said they have been doing this for the past 10 years. Not sure how, because he was A teenager himself, and the place has only been opened for a year. He tried to explain it wasn't illegal and I agreed it wasn' but it's dangerous. There are 10-15 kids racing each other in a busy parking lot. He did explain, the young man "holding the line " would get hit first when someone came around the corner. I sincerely hope no one gets hurt, and that parents are aware of the parking lot races.

We have experience with the Gracie Bullyproof class(8-9 yr old son) and Women Empowered(myself) and I can't recommend them enough! The Women Empowered class boosted my self-confidence and has equipped me to defend myself with their practical application of self- defense techniques.

Izumi(instructor) is encouraging, patient, and fosters a sense of belonging and family within the WE class. Kenny is a rockstar instructor and owner! My son grew in confidence and strength in Kenny's Bullyproof class. Bullyproof provided my son a consistent and powerful mix of different skill sets that impact the whole child, such as: physical activity, social skills, civic responsibility, healthy habits, strength through patience, and looking out for others, to name a few.

Sport Fit Bowie is an excellent gym in the area. I particularly like them for these reasons:…read more1. Swimming pool! The indoor pool is heated and has great exercise classes. My favorite part is the swimming classes for the kids. For the price (member and non member), you can get excellent instruction. It can get crowded with a lot of students but a good deal just the same for the price and length of time (30 min) 2. Friendly community! It feels like a family when you join Sports Fit Bowie. Most of the members have been there for years and enjoy the small yet big gym (as in the size of the facilities) feel 3. Down side to having committed members is that the the equipment is a little bit older, especially in the exercises classes BUT the instructors really make up for it. With the family atmosphere the instructors take the time to know you and constantly monitor you to do the right thing to prevent injuries. 4. Bathroom facilities are amazing! I love taking a shower here because it is so clean! Family bathrooms need some constant upkeep like the regular bathrooms but not too bad.
