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!

The staff was very helpful in starting my son off with his classes. Any questions we had they answered right away. The classes are run well and they keep the kids focused. Over all very impressed!

…great experience for my 9 & 5yo

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.

Good place have fun and good exercise

I just fall in love with this Virginia Martial Arts Center. All the sensei are really awesome and very supportive. They always keep eye on all the students while karate class going on .I am highly recommended this learning place .In virtually online classes ,all the teachers are doing a wonderful job. All the stuffs are really helpful.

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.

Great training and a wonderful atmosphere. The students are truly 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.

Virginia Martial Arts Center is a great place to learn the martial arts. I been around this Dojo for a little while and have seen a lot of students go through the training required to reach the tank of black belt. When they do, you can be assured that it was not just given to them, they worked very hard to get there. You can also be assured that that person’s character is on top with integrity and a forward positive move in a direction for success. Karate is not just punching and kicking, there is so much more learned at Virginia Martial Arts that helps a person through life , like acceptance, tolerance, team work, and helping each other.

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.
