Kaizen Karate, Bethesda

No matter how old you are or how much you know, you never stop learning—that's the philosophy behind the martial arts teaching at Kaizen Karate, where the instructors focus on "continuous improvement." Even the youngest students learn to develop self-discipline and self-motivation during karate classes, which they can start at the tender age of four. And whether they've taken a previous karate class or simply broken a board with their minds, adults can also benefit from the studio's classes, which are led by black-belt instructors under the supervision of a coach who's been training for 25 years.
