Everyone's body and skills are so different, and these instructors fully embrace that. Their goal in Krav Maga is not to teach us pretty kicks and impressive moves - their goal is to make sure we get home to our loved ones safely. It is all about developing your mindset, muscle memory, and instincts so that, when it really counts, you avoid the deer-in-headlights effect. Even as a beginner, I feel like I walk around my community in Manassas with more confidence and awareness and have learned how to reduce my chances of being a victim in the first place. If for some reason you don't feel like you have the time to commit to classes, I HIGHLY recommend you check out their monthly seminars! Women's Self Defense, Edged Weapon Defense, Car Jacking Defense, and the list goes on!! After watching many of the kid's classes, I love what I see! They're teaching kids how to use their voice, how to stand up for themselves and when it is appropriate to take physical action.

I left feeling so much more confident in protecting myself. I had so much fun I'm going to sign up for the adult class! Highly recommend for adults and especially kids - the tactics you learn could save your life and it was interactive and super fun great workout on top of it as icing on the cake DEFINITELY at least go once to experience it yourself you won't be disappointed!

Mt. Kim, and more importantly Master Jeon and Mrs. Jeon have become a part of our family! As a…read moremilitary family, we have moved and lived all over the world. We have always wanted to put our kids in a martial arts program, but was never able to find the right fit for our family. When we decided to buy a house in Manassas in May of 2016, little did we know how much that move would change our lives. After we got settled, I began looking for a good martial arts school for my kids. I made personal visits to every martial arts school in the area... Mt. Kim and Master Jeon deliver a quality, caring, loving and challenging program. Every challenge and obstacle is overcome through encouragement and motivation. Master Jeon will push you to your limits and really show you exactly how much you can do. My kids started in Aug of 2016. They have grown soooo much! Each of them with their own special personality, Master Jeon and Mrs. Jeon get to know our kids and I really believe in my heart, they see our kids as an extension of their own family. In Dec of 2016, my kids finally talked me into taking class with them. It has been life changing for me. Master Jeon was patient with me in helping me to accomplish all that I have and helping me to get beyond the obstacles I faced. I was injured in the line of duty and never believed after 9 knee operations, ankle reconstructions, that I could ever "do this". I find myself every day doing things I never believed my body would again! All thanks to Mt. Kim Martial Arts! Their name says it all "Spirit". They have it in spades! We take many of the TaeKwonDo classes as well as their Comprehensive Martial Arts (which is their Hapkido and Judo classes). My kids also attend the before and after school program! They absolutely love it and never want to leave the school!! If you are looking for a challenging program where you have to earn your way to Black Belt and beyond... if you are looking for a school who will treat your kids with respect, love and encouragement... if you are looking for a way to get in shape and off the couch... most importantly, if you are looking to make a lasting positive change in your life the lives of your family, you can't do better than Mt. Kim. Hope to see you in class with my family!

The trainers and students here are awesome. They are incredibly supportive and nobody has an ego. Everyone wants to help each other and it has been a blast getting back into shape. You can train at your own pace and everyone wants to see you succeed The trainers are very hands on and make sure that everyone understands the techniques being taught. They make training fun and are incredibly knowledgeable in their craft. The hour flies by. The facility is also great. A huge facility with plenty of mat space and they keep it clean. I have trained before in different facilities and this location is one of the best. Last but not least, the schedule of classes is great. I work very long hours and having classes in the evening makes it where I could train every day. The schedule is very accommodating.

The Cultural Center has many artifacts in a museum style in a side room. There's also many people from the community like the DC Okinawan Kai who utilizes the space. It is a safe and welcoming space for not just Okinawan people, but those interested in learning more about the culture and tradition. This spacious dojo has two kicking/punching bags ready for training, many talented instructors, and classes for children and adult alike! I am excited for what's to come for this OKCC!

During that time, he hosted some of the Okinawan masters at his dojo, which is how we met. Those were great classes, and when it was time for me to find a new dojo, I joined Master Folta at his new location. It's a fine space, and the training there is authentic and excellent. Master Folta is kind and genuine, while also encouraging everyone to reach for the highest standards. His careful eye has improved my karate in many ways, large and small. I was careful in my choice of schools, and picked the best one in the area. I've seen his students, both kids and adults, get better over time and stay with the program. If you're serious about learning karate that works, this is the place I recommend. There is a lot to learn, and this is the real deal.
