U.S. Martial Arts Academy, Ltd. — Attraction in Cockeysville

We have been at this martial arts school for a year now. My thoughts:

This is a great place for people of all ages, including young kids!

This school was recommended to us by a dear friend. His three kids (one of whom is now in college) started this martial arts school when they were 4. We were looking for a place for our daughter, who had just turned 4, after she had a bad experience at another place. As far as that story goes I'll summarize it like this: as many parents out there know, not every place that works with older kids, knows how to work with young kids. U.S. Martial Arts actually knows how to work with young kids.

They're patient and kind, while maintaining discipline and structure: if a kid is acting, well like a 4 year old, they get a time out. The thing that's cool is that the kids are having so much fun that they pay attention when they realize they may have to take a little break from class.

Definitely a family place, in the broadest sense of the word - yes lots of families go, and regardless of if you're going individually, the environment is very much a family environment too. It's also a very diverse and inclusive place. There are a few neurodivergent kids...

Have been with the school since 2011 when my daughter was enrolled in the kids kung-fu program. The curriculum teaches patience, self discipline, self respect, respect for others, confidence and positivity. The senior instructors, student instructors and especially the owners, Mr. Paul and Mrs. Maricar create an environment that is safe, fun and overall strive to assist students to reach their fullest potential. The entire staff is very patient with all students at any level and allow the students to go at a pace that is entirely comfortable for each and every student. I was so impressed with the positive environment that I decided to enroll as a student and have now enrolled my son. I highly recommend U.S. Martial Arts...

I can't say enough great things about this place!! My kids have been going here for about 3 years. Not only is it run by a family but you feel like family there! The instructors are great as well!!! The flexible class schedule is great, especially when your kids have other activities. It's also nice that if you miss classes because of sports/activities you are able to make them up! The baby/toddler play room came in handy keeping my daughter occupied while my boys were in class. We looked at a couple of Kung Fu/karate places before deciding on US Martial Arts. We are 100% satisfied with our decision....
