I am a martial arts enthusiast in the most extreme form. Because of this, I take my instruction very seriously. Royal Martial Arts is amazing! Master Choi is not only a very skilled Martial artist and teacher, but he is also an amazing person. Master Choi has been successful in finding a perfect balance between the old school, disciplinarian way of teaching, which I appreciate, and the more modern way of teaching for the younger kids. Both the kids and the parents who come to Royal Martial Arts are very happy with the service they receive and just the general vibe. The school isn’t a huge chain like some of the other places that treat you like you are just another monthly payment. Master Choi and Linda (Manager) are very welcoming and there is a family feeling about the school.

I have been living in Maryland for over 10 years now, bouncing from one school to another, but I recently just signed a long-term contract with Royal Martial Arts because I am so happy with the quality of instruction and the great price. Another great thing about Royal Martial Arts is the fact that Master Choi is young and passionate about Taekwondo and, especially, Hapkido as he is a champion in the sport. Unlike most other schools, where the head master is very old, Master Choi is able to teach much better because he can actually demonstrate every technique for you himself. He is strict, but understanding and the children who attend his school are very respectful and disciplined. He helps to better their grades in school as well with after school learning programs as he has just integrated a full computer lab in the back room of the school. Master Choi is sympathetic to parents who may have financial troubles along the way. He often allows students of parents, struggling to pay fees, to continue attending classes, while the parents try to get back on their feet.

Overall, I must say that Royal Martial Arts is truly the best of the best when it comes to instruction, discipline, and fun. I have been to MANY schools in the Montgomery County and Howard County area and they are honestly pretty bogus… all games and no real quality instruction for kids and adults. Royal Martial Arts is definitely the best of the best!
