We have been looking for a karate school for my kids. On the first day, this place exceeded our…read moreexpectations. They have great customer service. Ms. Debbie quickly responded to my email. The first time we met her, she was friendly and nice. She was my kid's instructor for their private class. She was engaging, funny, and patient. She taught them karate skills such as blocks, kicks, and strikes. She's very detailed oriented. She discussed with them the importance of martial arts, listening, and self-confidence. After a few weeks, my kids got their first karate (white) belt. The school is clean and spacious. They follow covid-19 protocols. They have a sign on the door that everyone has to wear a mask. They check the temperature and provide hand sanitizer. They offer in-person and zoom classes. Students have the option to attend the zoom karate class if they missed the in-person class. They teach karate to all ages. Prices vary depending on their age. We saw Mr. Teague (owner) teach in-person and virtual classes. I think my kids have to earn the next level to be in his class. I highly recommend this karate school to anyone interested.

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 martial arts instructors, like the previous poster said, are tough, yet fair. The older kids are respectful, and treat the younger kids well. It's truly like a family environment...and you really notice it on belt test days. Bullying is not an issue--it is not tolerated. My kid loves attending, and I'm very happy.

I should start by saying that I spent 23 years with the same dojo and Sensei back in my home state…read moreso it's taken me 5 years to find a place that I could let my bias go a bit and give it a shot. I have three kids (12, 9, 6) and I really want them to experience the benefits that martial arts gave me. We discovered Master Sies and his karate school through a demonstration at my kid's International night. I could immediately tell that Master Sies's students were getting quality instruction and having fun. We agreed to go check out the studio. That was about a year and a half ago probably and my kids have been members of the school ever since. They all love it and are really benefiting from the art. The karate instructors there are amazing. Every single one of them are absolutely meant to help kids learn the art of karate. They are funny, happy, compassionate and more importantly good at teaching. It starts at the top because Master Sies is very impressive. Not only does he have the pedigree to boot (7-time world kickboxing champ) but he is also a wonderful instructor that really empowers kids to keep going. The school has class options 7 days a week so there's an option for every busy family out there. The instruction is perfect for all kids and the benefits of karate are unparalleled. You have to see your child's smile and confidence grow after their first belt-test and they break their very first board. If you live within driving distance to Olney I would make this a karate school to check out if you are considering getting your kids involved. I literally spent the first four years we lived here visiting different karate schools. I took numerous classes and met many of the area's karate instructors. I was extremely picky obviously (for good reason though) but I think my patience worked out. Ultimately, this was about getting my kids into karate and in a studio that I would be proud of, and I found it in Master Method. I even joined for a little while but my many years of sports injuries proved to be too much for me. That being said, this also is a good studio for adults to learn the art. Plus they even have amazing kick boxing and Zumba classes for parents that just have fitness goals they are looking to achieve. Side note: Olney is a nice area so it makes the trips worthwhile. Lots of stores and restaurants but with more of smaller town feeling.
