Martial Arts in McLean, VA
Kaizen MMA in Falls Church is about 3 miles (10 min) from McLean. Kids classes, summer camp, and adult training, taught by full-time coaches.
Our Falls Church academy is barely outside McLean, tucked into the Idylwood shopping area off Pimmit Drive right where McLean, Tysons, and Falls Church meet. For most McLean families it's the closest serious martial arts program, about a ten-minute drive down Route 7.
McLean parents tend to care about who's actually teaching their kid, and that's the whole reason this drive makes sense. Our flagship runs full-time coaches, not a rotating cast of part-timers: real jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai, kids classes split by age so a six-year-old isn't lost in a teen class, and an adult program if a parent wants to train too. It's close enough to be a regular thing.
