American Martial Arts Gym

My son started AMAG Jiu-Jitsu in Waldorf back in August, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. At first, he was a little intimidated by the discipline and structure of the class—but that quickly turned into respect and motivation. Over the past few months, I’ve seen such a positive change in his attitude and confidence. He looks forward to going to class every week, has made great friends, and truly enjoys the challenge of learning new skills. The instructors do an incredible job of balancing discipline with encouragement, helping each student grow not just in martial arts, but in character as well. AMAG has helped my son become more focused, confident, and respectful—both on and off the mat. I highly recommend this program to any parent looking for a supportive, empowering environment for their child!

We’ve had a wonderful experience with this gym, and I couldn’t be happier with the impact it’s had on my children. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about each child’s growth. The environment is positive, welcoming, and motivating. My kids look forward to every class and have grown so much, not just physically but mentally as well. I highly recommend this gym to any parent looking for a supportive, high-quality martial arts program.

Easily the best mma gym in maryland. The coaches there are amazing and care about teaching you skills/technique, unlike other gyms who are only doing it for the money. They genuinely care about each and every student that walks in their, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure you learn the things you need to know.

Thank you to ALL of the coaches at AMAG! The youth program is phenomenal and it gave our son the opportunity to enhance his confidence, self-esteem and the courage we knew he had deep down within. The skills and knowledge that he has learned is invaluable! The continuous encouragement and reassurance during class and at EVERY competition is priceless! Being a part of the AMAG FAMILY is incredible. The coaches strive for excellence and they instill that in all of the students. Aiming for the win is always the goal but if you don't earn the win, there is always next time. Our coaches encourage every student to practice harder and come back better and stronger. The camaraderie among the students is amazing. I couldn't ask for a better gym for my child. Not only do they encourage discipline on the mats, the teach the kids to be disciplined at home and at school. Training helps them to focus and pay more attention to detail than children normally would. My son had always been a great student but values that we teach him at home coupled with what is taught at the gym has catapulted him to academic excellence. They coaches teach on and OFF the mats. They help with homework, they talk about being a good person, they lead by example and they treat you like FAMILY! I am proud to be an AMAG parent and a part of such an amazing group of people!

This gym has brought so much courage and tenacity to my sons life. They are a brother and sisterhood that brings a since of a belonging to young men. As a single Mom of a nine and six year old, I was fortunate to meet Coach James and his wife. My sons took to the sport almost right away and I love that it is every day! I love how I have seen my sons grow with the coaches and in tournaments and now I even do it myself in the adult class! You cannot go wrong with AMAG!!
