Had my grandson there. He did the last 5 weeks of summer camp till 12/17. He did manage to get 3 pieces of black tape while I watched a bunch of other kids start way after him and get moved up fast and not being any better or as good as him on the mat. I was told they help the kids do their homework but that never happened either. I guess they have their favorites. I’m very disappointed with the way they do thing I will never have any of my grandkids go there again or recommend anyone to try it

Our son has been going to this dojo for over 3 years now and we absolutely love it. The facility is great, the staff is awesome, and there is truly a family atmosphere in the dojo. The emphasis on perseverance and respect in addition to the techical aspect of karate has helped our son grow as a person and an athlete. We could not give a higher recommendation. This dojo is truly a place of growth; both physically and mentally.

The facility is clean, orderly and safe, and all the equipment is clearly well-maintained. We really appreciated how welcomed we have felt ever since the first day we showed up. We only needed about 2 days of our free two-week trial before we knew we would be staying and committing for the

Virginia Martial Arts Center is where I began my martial arts journey many years ago. I am forever grateful for the strong roots and inspiration that Hanshi Myers, Sensei Osumi, Sensei Click and Sensei Hammond instilled. While no longer living in the area, I continue my martial arts path forward with the lessons learned at VMAC deeply rooted.
