Laurel After School Martial Arts Program

The BAM is one the most passionate and dedicated martial arts practicioners and teachers I have ever known. You can feel the positivity and enthusiasm  ooze from his pores, just being in his presence. And his partner and wife, Kimber, is equally impressive. A one-two combination that is rarely seen, at this level, in the martial arts instruction industry.

Best Martial arts school. They really believe in a well-rounded child; and incorporate your child's performance at school and at home to determine if they can test for the next belt level.

We found BAMS during a difficult season of our family's life. We knew we wanted to have something that was productive for our daughter, but we never expected to find a place that almost immediately felt like a second home. From the very first class, we felt welcomed and supported. The owners, Kimber and Bam, as well as the fellow student leaders in the school work hard to make sure that they are not only cultivating exceptional martial arts instruction, but also a strong community. They encourage a lifestyle of total self mastery. Every class is more than simply learning forms and drills, but is also full of wisdom and life lessons on confidence, success, focus, and respect. We were so impressed with this school and community that my husband and I joined a month after my daughter. I went from being almost completely sedentary to working out four times a week (and loving it) at five months pregnant. They modified the workout for me so that I could participate with my physical limitations during pregnancy and every class is full of positive energy, lots of sweat, and pushes everyone in class to really dig past what they think they are capable of. In the short time we have been here, our daughter has shown so much progress not only in her skill, but also confidence and focus and we have found that doing this as a family has been a source of strength and comfort. I am infinitely grateful to have found this place and look forward to growing in my own self mastery with these teachers as a guide and support for years to come. I recommend this school to anyone who not only wants an awesome workout, but a space to uplevel their lives through the development of personal strength, positivity, focus, and mindset mastery.
