★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1A Truly Positive Experience at Potomac KempoPotomac Kempo has been a great experience for both me and my three year old daughter. We joined together, and it has brought us closer while helping us grow in confidence, discipline, and strength.The instructors are supportive and knowledgeable. The environment is always welcoming. The classes are well-structured, and the private lessons have been especially helpful in building my skills and confidence.Since joining, I have seen real progress in my fitness, energy, and focus. More importantly, we are both learning a life skill that no one can take away from us. It is helping me protect my family now, and it will help my daughter protect herself in the future even when I am not there.Potomac Kempo is more than just a martial arts school. It is a place for personal growth, self protection, and positive change. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get in shape, learn something valuable, and grow together with family.
June 19 · K ShahSensei Gary and Potomac Kempo have been instrumental in developing my son’s confidence and leadership skills for years. We relocated to Fairfax and still drive every week to give our son this experience. We’ve always found that there was complete transparency on pricing and expectations of what is needed. There are plenty of extra opportunities such as a tournament, specialty seminars, and even an amazing summer camp focused on learning about different cultures.The tournament is a great example of how they encourage progress and self-confidence. Students can choose to participate and they are awarded by skill and earning it. Nothing is given out here, but there is plenty of recognition and advancement to keep the kids motivated. If you're looking for an automatic black-belt this is not for you, but if you want your kids to earn it over years of hard work then join.I will also say that this is run with expectations and they hold the kids to those rules, such as not leaning against the walls, saying “yes sir/ma’am” and being in proper uniform. They don’t overdo it but reinforce good behavior. They also have fun events and let the kids serve as leaders as they grow. It’s expected to help those who are junior in rank and learning.If you want cheap, this isn’t for you. If you want caring, dedicated, transparent teaching to build your kids in confidence, then invest in this place. It’s simply amazing.
September 12 · Jaison DesaiMy family has been with this dojo for over 10 years. My son started in the 3rd grade and is now 20. Whenever he comes home for a visit Kempo is always on his to do list. My daughter and a few of her friends took lessons there as well. Sensi Gary and team is great! They always treat us as part of the Kempo family and have a genuine interest in the well being of my kids. Did I mention my son is autistic and ADHD, it was a much needed skill for him to learn structure, meditation and a physical activity that held his interest!
September 22 · Laurie Per LeeThe best kempo dojo. Gary and his staff have helped raise three of our children into respectable successful young adults, ready to face any of life's challenges and humbly enjoy life’s brightest moments. The combination of fitness, purposeful movement, and high level thought taught in the PK classes are lessons applicable in every facet of adult life. Lifelong friendship and confidence were built over the course of our nineteen year relationship with this fine institution.
September 06 · Goose GonzoMy 4 now 5 year old was showing interest in martial arts. After researching different options in the area and speaking to Sensei Gary, I decided on this dojo. My son is thriving, growing, and learning with each class. He looks forward to working with Joshua and Sensei Gary. After only a few months I see a difference in his discipline and focus. Highly recommend!
