If you want your little ones to get professional martial arts training, this place is the real deal. We're so happy to have found Royal Tiger Academy.

When traveling to Gaithersburg for work, I saw there was an academy reasonably close to where I was staying. Professor Noel was incredibly hospitable and encouraging for me to attend the classes. The academy itself is very clean throughout. The drilling or fundamentals classes were great in that they're both a good working and emphasizing drilling technique to perfection (drillers make killers as the saying goes). The advanced class that I attended immediately applied to something I've struggled with. With the requisite rolling, I found the students calm and technical with their sparring habits. Finally, the students themselves - across the belts - were friendly and inviting. I would definitely visit again as well as recommend Foundry Jiu-Jitsu as a place to train if you live in the area.

I was not trying on to getting back to competing again, but to feel that empowerment and camaraderie among who practice this martial art. Perfect for every skill level. Great and knowledgeable instructors. Wonderful introduction for children to teach them discipline, respect, and being gentle with self and others. I highly recommend this for everyone who wants to be in tournaments, self-defense and fitness.

The difference between a big chain gym and a family-owned gym is that when you're a member at Clinch, you are family. The owners, staff, coaches, even other members genuinely care about each other and every person that walks in the front door, no matter your age, size, fitness or skill level. They are versatile, with a variety of classes for kids and adults, encouraging, positive, friendly, and welcoming. Personally, I have had some challenges since becoming a member that I could not have gotten through without them. When I miss a class, I'm not just missing an opportunity to workout, I'm missing Clinch... something else I never thought I'd say about a gym.

I was Training at Yamasaki at the time and went to the free sessions and open mat at standard. I was struggling with mental health issues at the time and Greg and Noah and the rest of the crew were as patient as anyone could be. This gym is an Extremely skillful gym. I've spoken to Greg multiple times about jitsu in general and I have not spoken to anyone nor listened to any YouTube video with that level of intellect about the sport. Thanks for being patient with me, and the time invested in me as I never paid Greg a dollar between the 7 free sessions they offer and open mat, but I learned priceless knowledge. Hearing Greg tell the story about how a prince of Saudi along with the Gracies started the ADCC was awesome. Thank you all, and sorry for any misunderstandings while I struggled with mental health issues at the time! God bless. OSS.

I wanted to train as a powerlifter (even though I'm not so strong lol), so first time I saw the website and pictures, I wasn't so into it, but I gave Chris a try. I"M SO GLAD I DID. I had several trainers before, so I know a good one when I meet one. I'm 130lbs, my 1RM squat is around 180 and 190lbs for DL. Chris knows what he's doing. His style of training is simple but effective so my lift just keep going up every week, but I got bored. So I asked him to switch to body builder kind of workout, and give me a meal plan so I can get ripped and lean AF. so HE DID. I just finished week 4 and its going very well. I got bored of the food so I asked him to give me alternatives. so HE DID. I'm cutting food and still increasing my lift. He listens to your need and create the workout for your need, while other trainer might just tell you what you need and what you don't need. And his rate is unbeatable! I bet you must pay more for anybody else in the area that can give you what Chris can. I am a college student and I still can afford it. I know he's really good at what he's doing, you can tell that the guy loves it too. Give him a chance. I will not regret it.
