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 . I like how the coaches don't treat the kids like babies and add a sense of discipline. 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.

First off, I am obsessed with Muay Thai. Been training since 2014 and competing since 2017, with 3…read moremonths training in Thailand. 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 combination of value for…read moremoney, the friends who are like family I've made through this program, and the mental and physical benefits make Sarge Fitness one of the best fitness programs around. I can't think of any other fitness opportunity that has the same value proposition while also the opportunity to laugh, make lifelong friends, and change one's body and mind. Tom and Brooke, the instructors, are incredible motivators, and often workout alongside clients for the duration of the class. I like that everyone is in it together, and it's not about how quickly you can complete the workout, or just rushing through sets to get out of there. The community aspect is really important as well, and one of my favorite holiday traditions at Sarge is our "Angel Tree" over the holidays, where we can choose to "adopt" local kids and make their holiday gift needs and wants a reality.

I can workout in-person, virtually (if I'm traveling), or watch the video from that day when it's more convenient. The studio is locally-owned and operated by the owner, Tom, which makes this a community for folks who want to stay/get fit but aren't motivated by gym equipment. Tom is there teaching class EVERY morning at 6am, making the routines dynamic and interesting, creating fun games to change it up, and understanding everyone's individual needs. I've been coming here for years and I don't see that changing!

Absolutely. Look....Purcellville is the land of way-too-many-gyms a lot of which are either niche or out to make a buck. Don't bother else. Fly into Eagle View first!

Victory has met and exceeded every expectation that I had! My son sees positive examples of respect, discipline, communication, honesty and INTEGRITY. As a single parent, it's priceless to have support in raising a confident young man that can navigate through life without getting 'caught up' in the craziness around him. I've had several parents ask if it's worth the $$. ABSOLUTELY yes! There are so many perks that come with it - family classes, strong camps, parent nights out, AMAZING birthday parties, self defense classes, fight club and even more! It really is a COMMUNITY that I didn't know we were missing! And it's not all serious-faced structure, the instructors and instructors-in-training are focused AND friendly!

I once knew nothing about the many different forms of martial arts and I honestly have nothing to compare Fairfax Jiu Jitsu to, but I strongly believe it is the people who can make or break any kind of establishment. Needless to say, it is everyone here, from Dave (one of the managers) to the students in the [I'm not telling you what I took!] class, that make this place amazing. Classes will challenge you, you will learn, and you'll enjoy it all. I think I found my 2nd family. Try it out, let them know you saw my review, and that you're ready for some ass kickery!

You're definitely going to find something that works for you! The gym is a warehouse with plenty of parking around it. Just make sure you don't park anywhere that says do not block (you would think people know, but you'd be surprised ). The owner, Sean, is very kind and helps walk you through all of the options that you have for classes. You can tell he really cares about all of his students and is easy to talk to. Additionally, everyone else in the gym is extremely welcoming and friendly. They make sure that you feel like you are part of a team even if it's your first class. If you are looking to switch gyms or try something new, this is the best place to try it!

I understand that memberships may have specific policies, but it is extremely frustrating when there appears to be no reliable way to contact the business to discuss an issue or get guidance--especially when I am continuing to pay for a service I can no longer use. I would strongly recommend that the academy provide customers with a reliable and responsive way to communicate with them, particularly for membership-related issues.

Where do I begin…read more... I was planning to take my 4-year-old son to Majest Martial Arts for their summer camp program, but after visiting the location I quickly changed my mind. They duped me into paying a non-refundable registration fee BEFORE allowing me to have a tour of the facility. But that's not the part that stinks..... Their idea of 'outside time' is letting kids play along a concrete alleyway that leads to oncoming traffic (accident waiting to happen). I didn't see ONE staff member outside supervising. The classrooms are filthy. The floors were heavily stained, and the room is over crowded with junk. Small children are forced to use the public/main restroom while the older kids have restrooms inside the classroom (seems backwards) You can't differentiate between staff/teachers and random people off the street because no one wears a uniform -- I wasn't sure who to address upon walking into the building. The issue I struggled with the most is their lack of organization. Parents are forced to put their credit card information on a sheet of paper (for weekly account withdraws) that is kept in a folder out in the open at the front desk. (shouldn't that be under lock and key?) Lastly, I voiced my concern with the office manager and she gave me nothing but attitude. I returned the next day to make sure I wasn't over exaggerating about my initial visit, and the manager looked at me and said 'it's the same as it was yesterday.' That was all the confirmation I needed to ask for my paperwork back and enroll my son elsewhere. Don't waste your time or money.
