BETA Academy

From the moment you walk in the door you greeting with a warm welcome. I joined the Foundation Muay Thai class and the coach was great explaining the class lesson and the people you spar with are cool. I recommend BETA Academy for beginners to active fighters.

Great coaches, great training partners, great equipment. Overall great environment for learning martial arts . Been training here on and off for almost 5 years. I feel like every session has been time well spent at improving my skills

Great instructor, solid practitioners and friendly front desk person. All around quality Gym. Grateful to have rolled there and free open mat on Fridays at 1p, can’t beat it!

I began my jiu-jitsu journey under Professors Nakapan and Luis last year and make sure to drop-in for open mat whenever I visit DC. The facility is huge - two large mat areas for jiu-jitsu and muay-thai instruction, fully-stocked weight room with personal training available, and clean locker rooms with showers. I can't speak highly enough about the world-class instruction and culture at Beta Academy. The coaches are all extremely approachable, knowledgeable, and passionate about their craft and really make sure to answer any and all questions about technique. I was brand new to grappling, and the class structure made it easy to follow along and learn. When I moved back home and left Beta Academy, it felt more like I was leaving a family and less so a martial arts gym. If you've ever thought about martial arts and live in the DC area Beta Academy is the place to go.

I have been dropping in at Beta Academy for 13 years now. It was a great gym in 2010 when I was a white belt and it’s still a great gym as a brown belt. Nakapan is a fantastic coach and he’s built a superb gym with a positive culture and a great team of coaches. If you are looking to roll in DC, you can’t go wrong with Beta Academy.

What an incredible studio. My wife and I are only in town for the week but so glad we trained here. The instructors are amazing and they have a wonderful gym culture where my we both felt very welcome. Highly recommended.

Wish I found this amazing academy earlier. It's a child and parent's dream come true! Safe, peaceful, nurturing, supportive space to empower the entire family. Coaches are great! The students have the utmost respect 4 their coaches, which is most helpful when the coaches remind them 2 be respectful and neat. When I win the lottery, I'm donating a larger space 2 BETA, so they can inspire more kids! You gotta experience this place. It changed our lives in 1 visit. 😍📣😎💯
