Since 1979, BAEPLEX Family Martial Arts Center, in Williamsburg, Virginia has been leading the community in the principles and values of Character and Leadership through Martial Arts education.
Martial arts is more than just a physical activity; it’s a transformative journey that cultivates essential life skills for individuals and families alike. At BAEPLEX in Williamsburg, Virginia, an industry leader since 1979, we emphasize not only physical fitness but also the development of character traits that benefit practitioners of all ages.

One of our core tenets is Courtesy. From the earliest stages of our students journey we focus on Courtesy. Self Respect, as well as respect for others is the foundations from which all other character tenets can stand on. Practicing self respect develops a core sense of self worth and esteem. Practicing respect for others fosters a positive atmosphere where everyone can thrive. In each of our lessons, we teach a spirit aimed to extend beyond the classroom to positively influence family and community.
Integrity: The martial arts education at BAEPLEX aims to teach students how to uphold strong moral values and stand by their principles. Helping individuals navigate challenges in everyday life with honesty and responsibility is one of our main pillars.
Self-Control is cultivated through rigorous training, where students learn to manage their emotions, reactions and outcomes. This skill is especially beneficial for families, as it promotes patience and understanding in relationships. Self Control helps us stay focused on our Goals, treat others with Respect and make Decisions we can be proud of later.
At BAEPLEX, we believe in the power of Community. Our community is made up of people with shared values, are trustworthy and have a willingness to support one another. We recognize everyone’s differences, meet them where they are and foster further development through encouragement and camaraderie. This sense of belonging can enhance social connections, which is invaluable for both children and adults.
Furthermore, martial arts education at BAEPLEX fosters true Leadership skills. At some point during students progression, they are given opportunities to mentor others. This mentorship helps to build confidence, accountability and pride—qualities that are essential in all areas of life.

Finally, Indomitable Spirit is nurtured through hard work and perseverance. During training, students learn to face adversity with courage and resilience. Such lessons create somewhat of an unbreakable attitude to rise after every fall and move forward no matter what the odds.
We are happy to welcome new individuals and families to the BAEPLEX community. Come experience firsthand why so many families have chosen BAEPLEX as the “Go To Resource” for Martial Arts Education and Leadership since 1979.
