Come and see why Royal Martial Arts is the most unique martial arts school in all of Southern Maryland. We have something for everyone! Established in 2001, Royal Martial Arts has a stellar reputation with instruction in Traditional Martial Arts, Jiu Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts.

Our Traditional Martial Arts Program is designed specifically for students aspiring to earn a Black Belt in a structured and controlled environment. Our Traditional Martial Arts program is particularly beneficial for children who may be facing challenges such as:
- Focus in school
- Confidence building
- Discipline enhancement
- Behavioral improvements
- Addressing obesity
To ensure that our students are meeting their academic potential, we monitor report card grades and progress. It is important that students maintain grades that align with our/parents standards in order to progress to their next rank.
For our Teen and Adult Program, we focus on essential skills and benefits including:
- Balance
- Coordination
- Flexibility
- Self-defense techniques
- Stress reduction
- Weight loss
Additionally, we understand that life can be busy, which is why we offer students the flexibility to make up any missed classes. This ensures that they will never fall behind in their journey towards achieving their ranks. Most schools offer less choices for lessons the more ranks they earn. At Royal Martial Arts we cater even more to our long term students. They are our family and we treat them as such.

At Royal Martial Arts, we take pride in offering a Jiu Jitsu program that stands out from typical Jiu Jitsu school approaches. Our curriculum is designed with a focus on providing students with a clean and organized rotating technique structure, ensuring that each participant receives a comprehensive education in martial arts with attention to detail.
Key Features of Our Program:
- Self-Defense Focus: Unlike many schools that prioritize tournament performance, our program emphasizes self-defense and the realistic application of movements. This approach equips students with practical skills that can be utilized in real-life situations.
- Character Development: Promotions within our program are based on technique and character rather than competition results. We believe that personal growth are just is important as physical skills attained through training.
- Support for Children: Our Royal Little Knights Jiu Jitsu program is specifically designed for children who may face challenges such as bullying or obesity. We create a supportive environment that encourages confidence and resilience.
- Teen/Adult Program: For teens and adults, our Jiu Jitsu classes focus on self-defense, stress reduction, and weight loss. Be prepared to engage in a rigorous workout—YOU WILL SWEAT!

The Mixed Martial Arts Program at Royal Martial Arts is an exceptional opportunity for students eager to enhance their physical fitness while mastering the dynamic techniques utilized in mixed martial arts competitions. As an affiliate of Combat Submission Wrestling and STX Kickboxing under the esteemed guidance of Sensei Erik Paulson, our program offers a comprehensive training experience.

We encourage consistent attendance, as each class builds upon the last, ensuring that all participants benefit fully from the training. Join us at Royal Martial Arts and take the first step towards achieving your martial arts goals in a fun and engaging environment.
The sport of Mixed Martial Arts has unfortunately fell victim to a focus on money and violence. We hope to help restore a true martial arts spirit within the sport that has respect and honor at the forefront.
