FINDING THE TIME AND ENERGY TO EXERCISE CAN BE DIFFICULT
Even when you do find time to hit the gym, regardless of having a schedule that’s full of work, family time, and other obligations, you might be bored by your same old workout. There’s nothing exciting about another go-round on the treadmill or elliptical – and you might need some encouragement to stick to a schedule and achieve your fitness goals.
Martial arts classes for adults focus on building core strength and cardiovascular fitness in a fun, social setting. Why not break out of your dull routine?
BETTER YOURSELF WITH EVERY CLASS!
Our martial arts classes for adults can help you build core strength, increase your flexibility, learn how to defend yourself and the people you love, or lose weight. They’re also a great place to make new friends. Whatever your fitness goals are, you can achieve them in our classes.
LEARN HOW TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF
Many people feel vulnerable and wish that they had a way to defend themselves if they end up in a dangerous situation.
Martial arts classes build strength, confidence, and agility while teaching basic but effective self-defense moves.
Studying martial arts can help you shake feelings of vulnerability and believe in your ability to ward off an attack.
FEEL GREAT ABOUT YOURSELF
It’s common for adults to struggle with self-esteem as they deal with competitive work environments and overloaded to-do lists.
Adults who study martial arts learn to search within themselves for their best qualities. They learn to self-motivate and not to worry what others think of them.
Martial arts instruction encourages students to feel good about themselves as they master new techniques.
CHALLENGING, CALORIE-BURNING WORKOUTS
One of the keys to losing weight is finding a workout that you genuinely like doing.
Martial arts workouts are fun and challenging. They burn calories while also building muscles and ramping up your metabolism.
Regular martial arts workouts can help you lose weight steadily, especially when combined with a healthy diet.
REGULAR EXERCISE HELPS ALLEVIATE ANXIETY
All people need an outlet for their worry and anxiety – and martial arts classes provide it.
In the absence of such an outlet, you might carry anxiety inside of you and inadvertently take it out on other people.
Martial arts classes burn calories, release tension and anxiety, and help keep you on an even keel mentally and emotionally.

The FMA Family are some of the most welcoming folks we've met since our move to VA. Just a great group of people to work with and their approach to the curriculum is top shelf. Highly recommended for all age groups.

Great martial arts studio! My daughter has been attending for about a year now and she loves it. They do a really good job at making it feel like family while still teaching discipline. I have seen my daughter confidence grow significantly since attending.

As a busy mom of two busy boys, I love the time that we share together at Freedom Martial Arts. We all take classes together and work hard together. Its such a great family buisness, we are proud to be a part of it. My boys are better and more confident people having been instructed by Master Altizer.

My son has been attending Freedom Martial Arts for 3 and a half years now and he loves it. My son was very shy, struggled with social anxiety, and he would have a meltdown in a large crowd when we first started attending classes here. For the longest time, the instructors didn’t even know he could talk. Master Altizer and his team helped my son become confident and helped him open up. After 3 months of attending classes, he was invited to tryout for their sparring team. He was so excited for tryouts, but there was a large number of kids trying out as well so it was a little crowded and my son had a meltdown. Finally, he got the courage to go in for tryouts after a 30 minute meltdown and he hasn’t stopped since. He loves being at Freedom Martial Arts and loves competing. He competes at a national level, in front of thousands of people and does not struggle with social anxiety as much. Last competition season did not go well for my son due to him getting in his own head and not agreeing in some calls. Master Altizer noticed that and had a talk with him about how unfortunately that is how it goes some times and now I can see a difference in him since that talk. He has more confidence in himself now than he ever has thanks to Master Altizer and his team. Master Altizer is always there to listen and work with anyone that is having issues in class or outside class. This is a 25 minute drive for us one way and it is worth every minute.

My 3 and 4 year-old boys are in the Lil Dragons program. They both absolutely love it. The instructors are so good and so patient with the young kids. I highly recommend FMA!
Thomas Buck
Excellent school! My son and daughter have gained confidence and strength while making friends along the way. Both now compete on the national team with my son ranked #1 in the nation (insert proud dad moment). The instructors are outstanding and teach respect for instructors, listening, and discipline. Their teachers at their school have commented on how respectful they are compared to the other students. The byproduct of these vital life skills is their ability to defend theirselves should the need arise (but, the three skills above greatly reduce the need for the self defense). I highly recommend you check out Master Altizer and his team.
