KOA Martial Arts (BJJ, Muay Thai, & MMA)

“I train in Jacksonville, NC, and attended a course in Quantico for two weeks. The staff and students were extremely welcoming and allowed me to roll. The professors were great and offered many classes in both Gi and non-Gi. With the evening schedule, you can get a lot of experience with back-to-back classes. The gym was clean as well. If I were stationed over there, I'd be a full member. I highly recommend it. Thanks for your hospitality.”

“Just visiting but love going here when I’m in town! The instructors are top-notch, super knowledgeable and patient. The environment is incredibly welcoming, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. Great vibes and even better training. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent family friendly place to train in Stafford. All of the instructors are true professionals. My kids and I love this place. Wish I could give it six stars.”

“In a sport that can be a little intimidating for someone new, KOA provides the best learning environment you could hope for. The coaches and staff are at the highest levels of the game and are excited to see the students grow in this martial art. One of the best decisions I ever made was walking through the door.”

“My son, Dj and I, traveled from York Pa to visit KOA. We were welcomed into the school by everyone. Usually when we visit other schools, we encounter some students who want to " prove " something because we are from a different team/school. There was none of that here at Koa. Professor Kelly taught a very informative class. His instruction was very clear and concise, mixed with personal experiences to emphasize the teachings. After the period of instruction was over, we enjoyed and "open mat" environment where EVERYONE wanted to roll with me and DJ. Every roll i had the pleasure of entertaining was just that, fun smooth and entertaining. The gym facility is HUGE and very clean. all of the students are respectful and polite. I did notice this school has a very Marine Corps vibe to it by the way it operates. That really made me feel at home. Professor Kelly is a great instructor, as well as all of his coaches. Any question i had was happily answered. I cant wait to come back down again. This visit was well worth the 3 hour drive.”
