Been going here for a little over a year now, and I just can't get enough of martial arts! All the staff and teachers are really friendly and have no problem helping you with any questions or trouble with any techniques you're having. The students are also great as well! I've met a lot of great and friendly people in my time at Han Mi Martial Arts. Matt is a great teacher with a lot of experience in martial arts and explains every lesson clearly and concisely. I highly recommend Han Mi Martial Arts if you're interested in learning BJJ, Taekwondo, or Kendo!

Matt is an amazing teacher, full of knowledge and will take his time to make sure everyone in his classes are able to comprehend. My children love the classes and have made new friends. Matt has helped them build confidence, respect for themselves and others.

For ages 4-7 all the kids had fun and were engaged. Helped my son pick up what was happening very quickly and we had a ton of fun! Teaches respect and discipline too

I’ve been going to Han Mi for over 2 years, and I can’t say enough good things! The Han Mi community is amazing, kind, supportive, caring, and has your learning in a friendly environment as their top priority. I have gained confidence both by training in Kendo and Jiujitsu. Han Mi is like a second family to me, and I would recommend them to anyone.

My son enjoyed taking taekwondo classes here for almost a year and a half, and my wife loved the women's self-defense classes for over a year. Everyone there was always super helpful and responsive if there were ever any questions. Master Thompson is a top notch instructor and it was great to see his passion for what he does every time we were there.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Han Mi Martial Arts / Gracie Damascus. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Han Mi Martial Arts / Gracie Damascus welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Han Mi Martial Arts / Gracie Damascus train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at Han Mi Martial Arts / Gracie Damascus. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
