About Us:
Hi, my name is Brian Mayes, owner of Brian Mayes Karate Bridgewater in Bridgewater, VA, and I want to welcome you to our website!
We have been honored to be able to serve the Bridgewater area for years, and we'd be even more honored to be able to serve you and your family.
At Brian Mayes Karate, we wholeheartedly believe that Martial Arts training can change lives. From increased Fitness levels and Quality of Life for Adults, to greater Confidence and Self Esteem for Children, we’ve seen firsthand the benefits that people receive from Martial Arts training, and we want to share those benefits with you!
So take a moment to look around our website; we offer multiple programs to fit your needs. If you see something you think might benefit you or your family, we encourage you to enroll for a No Obligation Trial.
We can’t wait to meet you!
Kids Programs
Kids Martial Arts classes build Confidence, Focus and Self-Esteem for Children of all Ages. Kids love the "ninja" moves, and parents love the Life Skills
KIDS CLASSES
Martial Arts is an excellent activity for children. They'll learn to defend themselves physically, but more importantly they'll build the mental and emotional skill sets necessary to conquer challenges like high school, college, and becoming a healthy, balanced adult.
BIRTHDAY PARTIES
Birthday Parties at Brian Mayes Karate are a TON of fun! Your child and their birthday guests will be constantly engaged in structured, super awesome activities. Plus, parents don't have to lift a finger with setup, clean up, or anything else. Book ASAP, spaces fill up quickly!
Adult Programs
Our Adult Programs help you Lose Weight, Build Muscle, Get Fit and Feel GREAT. Plus, they're a TON of Fun!
ADULT CLASSES
Whether it's losing weight, building muscle, learning to defend yourself, or just having a blast, our Adult Martial Arts classes have what you need. You'll love the high energy class instruction, your body will love the awesome workout, and your spirit will love the camaraderie and positive atmosphere.
KICKBOXING
Our Fitness Kickboxing is a hardcore, bag-slamming, aggression releasing, bored-with-the-gym-scene workout that you will love. Set to popular music, this group setting class consists of punches, kicks, calisthenics, stretching and more. (This is a "non-contact" class)
Daycare Alternatives
CITY Parents no longer have to rely on Daycares for their children's formative, ultra-important time away from home. Kids and Parents alike love our fitness focused Childcare Alternatives!
AFTER SCHOOL
You do NOT have to settle for run of the mill daycare. In our After School program, your child is picked up from their elementary school, and cared for with an emphasis on fitness, wellness and character development.
SUMMER CAMP
Our Summer Camps are completely awesome. Field trips, games, leadership and character development, movement classes, arts and crafts...the list goes on! Our team members ensure your child's Summer is amazing.
DAY CAMPS
Whether it's a Snow Day, Teacher in service, Spring Break, or any other Holiday where children aren't in school, we have you covered. Parents love our affordable rates and free before/after care, and kids love our high energy, structured activities. No TV, no video games, no phones or tablets, just healthy, guided play!

Can I try Class before I sign up?
Yes! Our No Obligation Trial really is "No Obligation". We want you to be sure that what we offer and what you need are congruent. If so, you are welcome to become a member after your trial is up.

Do I need to be in shape to enroll for Adult classes?
No! Although we definitely suggest maintaining an active lifestyle, if you haven't exercised in years, many of our classes will still be accessible. Once you're good at them and getting closer to your goals, you'll be able to increase the intensity and try harder classes. Before you know it, you'll be looking and feeling fantastic.

How Often Should I Attend Class?
As much as you'd like! We see the most success with at least 2 classes per week. Because we have membership options with unlimited class attendance, many members are here 3-5 or even 6 days a week. That's not necessary but the more you attend, the better your results!

Do I have to sign up for a certain period of time?
That entirely depends on your level of commitment, and how much you're enjoying classes. If you're a not sure yet that our classes are right for you, you're not required to stay for a period of time, but if you're loving it and have a goal of achieving Black Belt, we have programs that will get you there!

What Our Members Have To Say
We think our Programs ROCK! But what about actual Members?
I've watched my son become more focused and confident in classes at BMK. The staff is wonderful, and I want to mention in particular the Drivers and Ms. Youngblood. They are the best! I feel like my son has a place to belong. I'm truly grateful for that, and for the growth I've witnessed from belt to belt.
Donna Young
I would highly recommend this facility. From Anita at the front desk to the instructors they are all professionals who really have every childs best interest at heart. Thank you Brian Mayes and staff for all that you are doing, we are truly pleased to be a part of your dojo.

Brian Mayes Karate welcomed me in with HUGE and supportive open arms to begin my first training in Karate. I was sad to leave when I moved from Harrisonburg, but the thirst for Karate stayed with me. Now I live in Brooklyn, NY and help teach kids Karate at a studio in Cobble Hill. I still remember almost everything I was taught more than 10 years ago by Brian Mayes!:)
