Welcome to the Highland Martial Arts School!

At Highland Martial Arts you will find:

  • Supportive people
  • Traditional Shaolin training
  • Challenging workouts
  • Stress reduction
  • Self defense skill development
  • A wide variety of weapons including swords, staffs and spears
  • Fun way for kids to learn self-discipline and the value of hard work
  • All of the above!

The mission of Highland Martial Arts is to continue the art of Shaolin-Tao in a school dedicated to mental and physical conditioning as well as lifelong fitness and continuous learning. Our community is built on a foundation of respect for all and of discipline in oneself. We are family friendly and low ego. Conveniently located in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood, we offer daily classes at varying times to suit different schedules. 

We provide two paths of learning: kung fu (external arts) and tai chi (internal arts). Both offer improved physical fitness, better integration and awareness of mind and body and an incredible amount of martial training. We also offer a separate kung fu youth program that introduces your child to the lifelong benefits of martial arts training.

Sign up for the Kid’s Kung Fu Summer Camp!

Want to see if Highland Martial Arts is right for your child? Stop by the school during a youth class and meet Adam Dyer, HMA’s youth program director. We are sure you will find our school safe and friendly while still providing kids with challenging training. Thinking of trying it yourself, but not sure if it’s right for you? You are welcome to observe a beginner class or go ahead and sign up for a two week trial membership.

Highland Martial Arts also offers classes open to non-members. Want a tough kung fu workout that will challenge even those in the best shape? Try the Shaolin Boot Camp, an 8 week course, or just drop in on one of the classes. Want to just see what tai chi is all about? Our Moving Meditation classes may be for you.
