Reviews of Potomac Kempo - Old Towne
"I have been coming here for a couple of years now and I have loved every moment. The instructor is great, very knowledgeable and talented. The community is friendly, welcoming, and always willing to assist. I encourage anyone thinking about martial arts to come over and become a part of the community."
"Just stop in one day and have a look at Sensei Mark teaching a kid's class and you'll be convinced. Not only are the students learning discipline, respect, perseverance, and confidence, but they are getting EXERCISE as well. Sensei Mark makes every student feel like they are important and special, and he ensures they get a solid martial arts training at every class. The training and positive reinforcement the kids get from Sensei Mark undoubtedly help them develop into strong, confident, goal-oriented adults. The adult classes are very well configured to give you a great workout as well as learning some awesome self-defense skills. You will lean Shaolin Kempo and a mixture of other very exciting forms. Try a lesson and see what I mean!"
"Tucked between the Patent Office and the U.S. District Courthouse in Alexandria's Carlyle neigborhood, Potomac Kempo-Old Towne is a great place to study martial arts. I took a free lesson a year ago at another location, but I wasn't able to begin lessons at that time. I moved into the Carlyle area and was excited to learn that Potomac Kempo had opened a new location just a few blocks from my apartment. I met with Sensei Mark and he was great. He was very encouraging in my interest to study martial arts, but without that over-the-top pushiness to join that turns me off from working with someone. As soon as the time was right, I signed up for monthly lessons and classes. The Old Towne location is a great dojo. Sensei Mark is fun to work with. He understands that his adult students come in after a long day at work to study martial arts for a variety of reasons. Some people come in to learn self-defense, some to lose weight, some to just do something different. His classes are fun, and he encourages us to keep reaching beyond what we think we can do. Even when a workout in class is hard, he still keeps us laughing and having fun. I look forward to my weekly lesson with Sensei. He is very personable and can really explain how a particular block or strike should work when practicing the art and how it would work in a self-defense situation. Plus he's very funny and quick with a smile, which is great when you just don't get something new. Another reason to checkout Potomac Kempo - Old Towne is the students. What an awesome group of people! I am fairly new to the area and have had a hard time meeting people. Now I hang out with a great group of people two or three days a week. Everyone is welcoming from your first day in class. Everyone comes up, introduces themselves, and helps you to learn new skills. Old Towne becomes almost a second home, where you can just be yourself and try new things without any judgment. And you become part of a bigger family when you visit other Potomac Kempo dojos. You always feel welcomed at other Potomac Kempo dojos and at the semi-annual tournament. Check out Potomac Kempo - Old Towne. It's definitely worth the investment in yourself."
"Great place to work out and learn! Great instructors, great classmates. I have gotten in better shape, improved flexibility, concentration and manage stress a lot better."
"I have always liked a great workout, but a workout that actually teaches you practical techniques, discipline, focus and FUN at the same time?? Thats what Kempo is to me. Sensei Mark is knowledgeable, talented and makes working out an amazingly fun experience!!"
