Virginia Martial Arts Center Chesapeake’s Premier Martial Arts Facility For All Ages

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.

Virginia Martial Arts Center is like a second home to my son. Great instructors, great role models, and a blessing to the kids and families in Western Branch.

The code of respect for others, and taking charge of your own destiny through self discipline, is every bit as important as the technique that is taught. Am grateful for the impact this place has had on my family!

Absolutely amazing. 100/10 will always recommend. Best staff and instructors. My kids absolutely love Dai Sempai Zach and Hanshi Myers.

My boys are part of the after school program here and they love it! Would rather be there learning Karate than at home. They provide a sense of community, safety and a second family.

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.

I have recently started taking tai chi here, and absolutely love it. I have previous experience with karate elsewhere, and can tell that the karate taught here is also the real deal. Everyone is extremely welcoming and kind, and the instructors are all very knowledgeable in their art.

Virginia Martial Arts is great place for kids to learn Karate. They don't realize it but while learning Karate, they are also learning respect, self-confidence, and discipline. The instructors are very knowledgeable and experienced. My son has been going here since the 1st grade and is almost a brown belt now and I wouldn't have changed a thing about his past 7 years at VMAC!

My son is 5 and absolutely loves it here! Sensai Donna is absolutely amazing and very patient with the children. It’s a very family oriented place. I had checked out 3 other karate places and fell in love with this one. I highly recommend bringing your children here.

This place is really great! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and clearly very concerned for both the students' safety, and the enjoyment they get from the classes. They push the kids to excel in a way that develops the kids' own internal motivation, so the students only feel how much they want to be there. 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 long-term.
