The community at DMA was incredibly welcoming even for beginners -- people remembered my name and gave me helpful tips from the very first class I attended. Not only do they have boxing and muay thai classes, they also have weekly yoga, which I really appreciated. Definitely recommend checking out this community, even if you’re a beginner like me!

I originally joined for the boxing classes (which are fantastic!), and then discovered BJJ here and instantly loved it! The instruction styles vary from coach to coach, which keeps things fun and engaging. The instructors are very attentive and available to talk before or after classes to provide extra support. When I first joined, I couldn’t even do a somersault! It was intimidating being in classes full of experienced and super athletic grapplers, but with the encouragement of the instructors and other members, 8 months later I am feeling more confident than ever (and can finally tackle the

Joined this gym for almost 2 months and already feels like family every time when I walk in! Love the BJJ class and Muay Thai! Some of the classes are very technical, whereas some of them are more conditioning focused. The thing I love the most about this gym is its large sparring space for either BJJ or Muay Thai. Came from crowded NY city area, this gym has one of the largest spaces I've been to. I'd say, definitely give this gym a try if you're looking for something fun to do for a life-long time!

My girlfriend and I attended a free trial class the other day. At first we were both nervous and confused, but this was partly because we showed up late and without signing our waivers yet. When we jumped in we felt a bit out of place, but that changed quickly. I have a small amount of experience but my girlfriend has next to none but we both found the MMA class to be accommodating (especially with the kind and patient instructor). Overall, a wonderful environment with quality equipment, great people, and excellent instruction.

DMA is a great establishment whether you are looking for an introduction to martial arts or competition with experience individuals. The coaches create an environment full of humility and encouragement that helps students to grow and learn on a daily basis. I highly recommend if you are looking to train anywhere in and around Washington D.C.

I trained at this gym for six months and had a great experience. The coaches were approachable and skilled. The environment was professional and competitive. I had to leave this gym because I moved but I would recommend to anyone in the NoVA/DC area.

District Martial Arts is arguably the most professional and fun to train at MMA gym in the DMV. Charles and the crew offer a wide variety of disciplines, taught by veteran practitioners who gear their instruction to the level of the student. Any learner at any level will find this to be a rewarding venue to train at. Don’t miss the opportunity for good fun and great training.

Clean and neat place with the gym having been well-designed.
The training is suitable for any level. Coaches understand where you are and work with you from there. So general lesson goes on but coaches are very friendly, welcoming and do not leave anyone behind by, per say, asking if anyone wants a move/exercise to be shown again or just answer your questions if you have. Like anywhere, the more you are involved, the more you will learn.
Other things: music is upbeat; the view to the street is great, and just generally attractive atmosphere to work out.
