I’ve been training for two years at Stanley Combatives and never regretted it!! Brian Stanley and his team of instructors are nothing short of exceptional! The Intro to Muay Thai class is organized so that new students are paired with experienced ones and given one-on-one instruction. It is a very positive environment with the student encouraging one another as we all learn together. 🥊 And did I mention…it’s really inexpensive! Brian and his crew are pationate about passing on the knowledge and skills. You can even come and try a couple classes for free!

They offer many class options as well as private lessons. My 7 year old and I took private lessons over the summer and had such a great time that we now attend regularly for Muay Thai class.

Stanley Combatives is an amazing school. Coach Brian and his team of coaches are very supportive and skilled. They know how to motivate and encourage, all while being firm at the same time. My wife and I signed our teenage son up almost six months ago, and his confidence level has soared. It’s so nice to have something our son looks forward to without asking him ten times to get ready! When it’s time for class, he’s ready to go and looks forward to it because he feels like he’s part of a team. Coach Brian cares about his coaches, his team, and teaching authentic Muay Thai, which shows in everything he does. Respect All, Fear None!

Stanley Combatives is the truth! If you are looking for authentic Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu with a side of self defense and conditioning, look no further! I’ve been here for a few weeks but since the first day i knew there was something different about these guys compared to other Martial Arts gyms. At the other ones I’ve checked out, it seemed so tense and business like. Like the main thing was money not Martial Arts. But here, i felt welcomed. From day one you feel like a valued member of the team whether you are on a trial or have a membership. The people here are so nice and down to earth. All of them share the common interest of getting better and healthier as well as having fun. I got a genuine vibe from them that made me feel like i was apart of the family. All of these factored made me join as soon as possible and i don’t regret it!! But be ready! If you come, you better come prepared! These guys are the real deal!! Get ready for one of the best Martial Arts/Self Defense/ Workout you will ever experience!

Amazing gym! Has amazing people and classes!! Owner is super nice!! Definitely works you hard! But it's a lot of fun!!

I have been going to this school for about two years and this place has quickly become a home for me. The training here is top notch in terms of striking and grappling. Everyone here I have grown to see as family and friends that I hangout with outside of the gym. Everyone here trains hard and looks out for you while training. I could not have asked for a better gym to make me a better person and a better fighter both physically and mentally.

Highly Recommend!!! Stanley Combatives has given me the best training all around for Self Defense, Muy Thai, Brazilian Jujitsu, etc. You feel like your family at this gym! The location is great, the gym is amazing and the people are incredible. Brian Stanley and staff are extremely knowledgeable. Without their experience, my training would have gone downhill. The best decision for me and my training is being at Stanley Combatives.

Six months ago I attended my first Muay Thai class at Stanley combatives. In the little amount of time I’ve been there my striking has greatly improved. The team here is very friendly and the support system is great for beginners or advanced combatives. I’m very glad I was able to find and join this group of individuals.

Where to begin… this is a amazing place very well rounded self defense classes. They offer Muay Thai, Brazilian jujitsu, knife training and self defense. The vibes are great! Very accepting and encouraging environment everyone pushes each other to greatness. And when you get tired, u can depend on the class hype man to give you your second wind lol. If you need to learn self defense this is a great place to learn it and trust me it gets better and better everyday! See you there!!

Stanley Combatives is the perfect gym in which to train combat sports. The environment is exceedingly welcoming and family friendly. Brian Stanley is extremely well-trained, knowledgeable, passionate, and kind. He has created an environment that focuses on being humble warriors and respecting all but fearing none. The encouraging energy is created by instructors and fellow teammates. The vibes of the gym resemble that of a close-knit team, and we consider ourselves a family that opens its arms to anyone who wants to put in the work and learn something new. With that being said, everyone at the gym likes to have a good time and classes are often accompanied with laughs. Stanley Combatives currently offers a variety of class options including Muay Thai, BJJ, conditioning, and street self-defense. Personally, I had never trained any kind of combat sports before joining the gym, but I enjoyed it from the moment I stepped on the mat. 10/10 cannot recommend enough- absolutely top tier.

The best place for traditional structured Muay Thai and discipline in Maryland is Stanley Combatives. If you're seeking a professional and cordial environment, this is the place to choose. I recently started training here, and I can confidently say that it's worth every penny, particularly if you're committed to your practice. At Stanley Combatives, they treat you with the utmost respect, and the dojo is exceptionally clean and well-organized.

Great facility with even greater people. As someone with 0 background in combat sports, I was scared to try it out--for those in the same boat as me, don't be. Everyone here will treat you like family. You will not be shamed for picking up the skills at a slow pace. You can learn so much from each person, whether student or instructor.
