Reviews of Potomac Kempo - Huntington Metro
"Potomac Kempo is amazing. Teaches fantastic life lessons along with kempo. Highly recommend"
"Sensei Geof, the chief instructor here, is a superb martial artist and teacher. I had transferred to this dojo from another Potomac Kempo location in 2019. I was impressed with Geof’s martial arts skills, and even more impressed with his personal qualities. He is an exemplar of integrity, decency, humility, professionalism, and sound judgment. Trust is an essential element in the student-instructor relationship, and I was grateful for that trust during my time as Geof’s student. Never did I have to question his honesty or motives or worry that he would condone or engage in inappropriate behavior. I observed this dojo to be drama free under Geof’s management, and that allowed for an environment in which students could focus on pursuing the training they desired. I was also deeply appreciative of Sensei Geof’s openness to constructive feedback. We were able to have frank and respectful conversations about any shortcomings or issues at this dojo and Potomac Kempo in general. We did not always agree, but the exchanges were always civil and productive. What was important was that Sensei Geof took serious concerns seriously. Where grave situations arose, he addressed them accordingly. I did not have to bang my head against the wall. Alas, in my experience, not every instructor across Potomac Kempo’s dojos came equipped with Geof's professionalism or common sense. I remained Geof’s student until I moved away from the Northern Virginia area in 2021. In other words, this positive review of him is long overdue. It is NOT, however, an endorsement of any other Potomac Kempo dojo or the Huntington dojo if it were run by a different instructor. But as long as Sensei Geof is the chief instructor here, you can’t go wrong training with him."
"I feel very grateful to have found Potomac Kempo and our instructor Geoff! I moved to the Alexandria area somewhat recently so along with the knowledgeable instruction and a well maintained facility, I have found a community of great people which I value a ton being new to the area. Geoff truly is a fantastic instructor. I have studied other martial arts in the past but I am particularly impressed by Geoff’s deep knowledge of the mechanics, history and practical application of Kempo. I feel like he truly challenges his students to improve in each class and gives us a great workout too! He’s also extremely flexible with my schedule which is super valuable to me considering my hectic work demands. If you are interested in pursuing martial arts in the area, I would highly recommend coming in and checking it out!"
"I have been training at Potomac Kempo (PK) for a few years, but during covid I took a short break. Since returning, I've realized how meaningful PK has been for me, as the adult classes taught by Sensei Geoff are some of the highlights of my week. Geoff is a highly skilled martial artist in his own right, but more importantly, he is an incredible teacher. Sensei Geoff easily transitions from training toddlers to mature adults, running a fun yet disciplined gym in the process. Members of the dojo are not only friendly, but fast friends. There are four other locations led by different instructors (who I have also had positive experiences with), but Sensei Geoff is the reason I primarily attend the Huntington Metro (HM) location. I wholeheartedly recommend PKHM to anyone seeking to take a martial art, learn self-defense, or just improve upon their general health with others of a similar disposition."
"I've been training at Potomac Kempo for many years. The instructors at Huntington are excellent and the atmosphere is great, but what I love most is the personal attention they give each student- whatever your goals are in martial arts, they will make a specific plan to help you reach them and work with you individually to make sure you succeed. Highly recommended."
