This academy has taught me so much in only a few months. In here we are not just the training as students we are training as a family to make each other better. Ms.Dede is like a second mom to me she has taught me to love myself. Not only are you taught how to fight you are taught patience, control, dedication, etc. This is my second family❤️

So many lessons about running an academy were taught to me by Professor Eddie! He runs one of the best Academy’s I have ever stepped foot in. From the clean/safe environment, to the welcoming curriculum that is designed for everyone’s skill level, I have taken the lessons taught to me and created the same thing here on the East coast. I highly recommend this Academy to anyone looking to learn self defense.

Joining the academy has been one of the best decisions Ive made. I came here with minimal experience, but feel that Ive learned so much in the past few weeks. Master Saykosy and Ms. Diandra do an amazing job at providing such a welcoming and friendly environment. I never feel pressured to do anything Im uncomfortable with, and always feel supported in trying my best. Everyone Ive met has been very kind as well and are always willing to help you improve. This place feels like another home for me!

I’ve been going to Royal Tiger Academy for some time now, and it has shown me that I am capable of more than I thought I was. It gives me both mental and physical exercise, and the community is a close knit and welcoming one. I would definitely recommend training here!

Royal Tiger Academy is like my second home. I joined a little less than 2 years ago and they’ve taught me pretty much everything that I know today. Everyone there are wholesome and genuine people and my classmates are always striving to improve. Joining the academy has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in terms of improving my health, character, and confidence!

Great people! My kids love it!

Authentic, real, and practical martial arts taught here at Royal Tiger. It is an extremely friendly environment that pushes you to be your best each and every day.

It had been years since I had trained in any form of Martial Arts. Over the years I just lost the passion for the art. It wasnt until Royal Tiger reached out to me and offered me a chance to rekindle my love for the sport, that I realized how much I miss martial arts training. The dynamic duo of Master Kenji and Dee Dee run an outstanding martial arts school. The classes are fun and informative. The staff and fellow students are an incredible group of individuals that create a welcoming environment that I find myself eager in anticipation for the next class. I would strongly recommend this academy to anyone who is looking to start martial arts, or even those who are looking to get back into shape. Thank you Royal Tiger Academy for reintroducing me to an old friend i once found in martial arts.

Royal Tiger MMA Academy is the first martial arts class that my daughter has attended. Master Kenji is a skilled teacher and my daughter appreciates his teaching techniques and the way they have been adapted for current, realistic, everyday situations. I am looking forward to see my daughter grow stronger physically and mentally, develop self confidence, self esteem and self defence!

Master Saykosy is not only professional but has a vast knowledge in martial arts. Hes patient and great in teaching both kids and adults. Coming here I truly understand what the meaning of being a mix martial artist is. I enjoy his teaching styles and fundamentals with my son. Hes truly shown more confidence, discipline, focus, and respect after taking classes at Royal Tiger Academy. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to learn traditional and non traditional arts.

I just started taking classes a couple weeks ago and Im so glad I started here. I am very self conscious and have never been athletic, but everyone is really encouraging and kind. I can tell Master K is very knowledgeable and cares about building up his students. That is exactly what I need!

Signed up immediately after my first class. They not only teach you MMA but they focus on practical moves that you can apply in real life situations. They are very personable, encouraging, and they are enthusiastic about MMA and their students individual progress. Highly recommend any one serious about learning MMA styles and self-defense to come to the studio, take their intro, and sign up. Tell them Sidney from Wakanda sent you. They’ll know what that means.

I 100% look forward to coming here every week. Master Kenji is so knowledgeable about every type of mixed martial artistry; its amazing. Him and his partner Diandra are so welcoming and personable I have absolutely no anxiety walking into this academy.The rates are also a ridiculously low for all the information Master Kenji has to offer. He used to compete, he choreographs stunts and directs for films, he knows how to fish??? (Bonus points) Theres so much more he and Diandra know that I would love to be just their friend if I didnt attend their academy.All in all, if you want to learn MMA from anybody, stop looking and sign up here.There isnt a better place.

The reviews are all true! My two youngest daughters have been attending for over a month and I do not have any problems getting them to get ready and go to practices. I am so happy to have found Royal Tiger Academy because I know my daughters are in a positive environment and learning self defense and gaining confidence that is already starting to help them feel better. Thanks for all you hard work, Master Sayasy and Mrs. D.

Royal Tiger Academy is a wonderful place for children and adults! Master Saykosy is amazing at teaching!! My daughter loved all her classes and the different after school and summer camps! I enjoyed my self defense classes and was in the best shape I’ve ever been in! I love how you feel just like family!

Great instructor and he breaks down the techniques. Everyone gives each other motivation. So far I finished my 3rd class and have learn some of the basics. I recommend this place for people who want to learn mix martial art.

Im so glad I found this place for my kids! Master Kenji is a true martial art master who teaches real PRACTICAL self defense, not just for sports or recreational purposes. In addition, master Kenji and Diandra not only teach the kids martial art skills but also the principle and demeanor to be a better person, we absolutely love this place. Highly recommended if you are serious about self defense (just ask for weapons disarm demonstration, youll be amazed!)

Love this place. Master Kenji is just awesome with our kids. So much growth in various areas like focus, attention, following instructions, observations etc. Our kids love going to class.

Master Kenji and Dee Dee are amazing! Master Kenji is an amazing instructor and great with kids! He also instructs me and my husband. Our whole family trains together and it’s something that’s brought us all together. We always feel welcome, plus my kids can’t wait to go every week. We’ve seen so much growth and focus in our lives. If your thinking about starting a martial arts school you should choose Royal Tiger Academy!

I have my two kids coming to Royal Academy over a year and it was the best choice I ever made. They are learning so many techniques including Judo, Taekwondo, karate, jiu-jitsu and the most important, self-confidence, self-defense and how to respect and be kind to others. Master Saykosy is very well trained and patient with kids and adults, centered and he know what he is teaching. I have two brothers, a black belt in judo and another black belt in taekwondo so I can tell what is the real techniques in martial arts and not only other plces I tried before that they didn’t learn much. I am very happy that found this great family business which I adore the Mrs. Saykosy as well. She is sweet, always on top to make sure we are well attended and very friendly.

Best Teacher in the US. Master Saykosy is a master at his work and very good with the kids. Adults and Kids should check this place out! I had very good experiences with his teachings.

🐅 *rwarrr* Aydin had an awesome first lesson. He gravitated toward Master Kenji and immediately felt comfortable in his new surrounding. He was truly in good hands; as a parents that’s all you can ask for.I was really impressed by Master Kenji’s skills, demeanor, and patience. Under his tutelage Aydin responded and performed admirably. He was focused on each lessons, but more importantly he had so much fun.Before choosing Royal Tiger Academy for Aydin I did my research. I was convinced RTA was the right place for him. After one lesson it was confirmed I made the right choice for my son. I look forward to watching him grow stronger physically; but more importantly see him develop his confidence and mental toughness. Master Kenji & RTA will be there every steps of the way to help Aydin do just that.Couldn’t ask for a better family to be a part of. Thank you Kenji Saykosy & Dee Dee Sayasy ❤️

RTA is the only MMA Academy of its class in the DMV, in my opinion.Master Saykosy shows so much patience, skill & experience. He is a true Sensei, so knowledgeable and willing to share it with others. He is truly invested in every single one of his students. Not only does he teach you self defense, but self-discipline, physical & mental strength as well. Definitely ups your self esteem!His wife, Diandra, is so honest, gentle & personable -She is so patient. She goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable & makes you feel as if you are already a part of their community. They definitely did a good job at making RTAs energy welcoming, a place where you can feel at home & learn a new skill & lifestyle.If youre looking for a martial arts school in the DMV, Royal Tiger is your place. Seriously, cant recommend this place enough.

Royal Tiger Academy is very passionate about teaching people of all ages the benefits of martial arts and self defense. You can really tell that the instructor really cares for his students and knows how to maximize each students potential based on their own styles. The instructor is very well-versed in various martial arts techniques including Muay Thai, Jiujitsu, Taekwondo, Judo, Wing Chun, Aikido, Kickboxing, Karate, Krav Maga and weapons training.Genuinely, you would not be able to find another martial arts academy that has a better deal than Royal Tiger Academy. There is no initiation fee unlike the other academies. Cost of enrollment beats any other academies around town with the benefits of learning multiple martial arts technique in the same spot. Other academies would require separate costs for each martial arts technique you want to learn.The Royal Tiger Academy is not just a team, its a family.

I had met Mr. Kenji few times his not only a great mix martial artist; his hospitality as well was great.

Master kenji is amazing! He has so much experience with martial arts. He knows muay thai, taekwondo, karate, kickboxing, jiujitsu, judo, aikido, and grappling. If you want to be an exceptional all rounder then this is the perfect place for you. If a student does a practice wrong Master Kenji will help correct the student to make sure they are learning the correct way to do it. All for a reasonable price too its a win/win. A perfect way to get fit and growing bonds with new people!

Master Kenji is patient and skilled, his passion for martial arts is evident and I look forward to taking more classes and expanding my martial arts experience. Thank you master Kenji

I trained with Master Saykosy for four years and through my experience I’ve gained confidence and got into great shape. He taught a good mixed of difference mma styles that was practical and fun. Royal Tiger Academy is a great place for kids, teens, and adults. I would recommend this martial arts gym in Gaithersburg Maryland and surrounding cities. I will continue to train with Master Saykosy because I’m always learning something new in every class.

Got opportunity to train under Master Saykosy Sir.He is an excellent and dedicated martial art teacher with immense knowledge of different martial arts like Muay Thai, BJJ, Taekwondo and the list goes on.Great for kids and adults.I would definitely recommend him to other people.
