We Are A Black Belt School!

Want to learn martial arts in the Frederick, MD area?  Can’t afford the outrageous monthly fees or contracts?  How does $40/month, NO contract, sound?  The reason why the monthly fee is so cheap is because lessons are conducted in my basement.  Classes are generally taught on Tuesday and Thursday.  Send me an email under the “About Us” Tab.

First class is ALWAYS free and NO pressure to join!!!!

Monthly Fee Discount for Family Members:

1 Family Member:  $40

    2 Family Members:  $60

    3 Family Members:  $80

                                 4 or more Family Members:  $100

You will NOT find those prices in ANY commercialized dojo!  Some schools make you sign a 36-month black belt program.  This results in pushing a student through the ranks and giving them a false sense of security.  You CAN'T guarantee a student that he/she will be a black belt in 3 years!  Rank IS earned!  You WILL see an instructor who believes in GOOD TECHNIQUE! 

 
  We also offer student discounted prices on martial arts supplies offered through Asian World of Martial Arts (www.awma.com).
