Scott Academy of martial arts 5831 Buckeystown Pike, Frederick, MD 21704

"Scott academy offers many martial styles within the Chen Pan Ling curriculum. This only costs $30 for a weekly private lesson plus Saturday group class (once safe to do so). At other schools, group lessons are the norm with an occasional private lesson for more money. And at other schools, learning more than just taijiquan may cost additional fees. Also, there is no requirement to buy a school uniform. Just wear what is comfortable and inoffensive. Due to the private lesson structure, you choose what you want to study. Overall, I am extremely pleased I found this school."

"I have studied martial arts for over 35 years, all over the US, and in other countries (Japan, Korea). Shifu Scott's school is the best I have attended. The material is of the highest quality, the instructor (Shifu Scott) is compassionate, incredibly well skilled, and amazingly knowledgeable. Very literally - having lived for several years in Frederick, MD and Dumfries, VA - there are NO schools within traveling distance as high quality as the Scott Academy of Martial Arts. This is a school you do not pass up training in."

"Shifu John Scott is a true master of the martial arts. More than that, he also a caring, committed and exemplary teacher - someone who inspires through example as well as teaching. There are few human beings on the planet as genuine and dedicated to their craft and helping others. I’m proud to have trained with Shifu John Scott and advise prospective students to look no further: you have found your home with him."

"The Scott Academy is an entity of fine and a genuine Chen Pan Ling Chinese Kung Fu martial arts school and is of the highest quality and a provider of high technical and spiritual forms. Reviewed by John C Forza Sifu CPL"

"Sifu John Scott is one of the best martial arts teachers that I’ve had during my time practicing the art. He is funny, knowledgeable, and helpful in his teaching. While I am not a student at this time due to COVID, I plan to return once this is all over. I have still much to learn and his lessons are excellent."
