What Our Community Says
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on what you're drawn to. Muay Thai and Boxing are great if you want to learn striking. BJJ is perfect if you prefer grappling and problem-solving. MMA gives you a taste of everything. The honest answer is that the best one for you is the one you'll actually enjoy showing up to. We offer a free trial so you can try before you commit.
None at all. The majority of our members started with zero martial arts experience. Every class has progressions for beginners, and our coaches are trained to meet you at your level. You'll never be thrown into something you're not ready for.
Athletic clothes you can move comfortably in — shorts or joggers and a t-shirt. Most martial arts classes are done barefoot, so no special shoes needed. Bring a water bottle and a towel. That's it.
We have 6 locations across Northern Virginia: Falls Church (our headquarters), Fairfax, Vienna, Ashburn, Purcellville, and South Riding (coming soon). All locations offer the same quality instruction and programming.
Yes. Your membership gives you access to all Kaizen MMA locations, so you can train wherever is most convenient on any given day.
