BETA ACADEMY
WASHINGTON DC'S #1 MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL
The Academy for Body Efficient Tactical Arts was established in 2009 by life-long martial arts practitioner Nakapan Phungephorn. It's name is inspired by the “Siamese Fighting Fish” of Thailand, also known as the BETA Fish. Though admired for their color and beauty, the fighting fish is a fierce fighter capable of unleashing the most deadly and efficient attacks against would be aggressors. The instinctual fighting ability of these fish invokes the cultural heritage of Thailand that is closely tied with Muay Thai.
BETA’s mission is to help our members and students find physical, mental and spiritual strength through the martial arts. We strive to accomplish this by providing world-class instruction in a friendly, enjoyable and ever-evolving martial arts training experience that challenges our students in a safe, clean environment. Our aim is to encourage everyone to enjoy the positive health benefits of practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai, ensuring that we continue to preserve the art, history and culture of the fighting arts.

TESTIMONIALS
My husband and I tried a number of different workouts and diets from "nutrition experts" and "certified trainers" over the past couple years - any and everything to lose our "COVID weight", but all with little success. On a recommendation we decided to give BETA a try, and holy s**t, their diet plan, constant guidance and exercise routines produced actual results! We've lost 60lbs combined! Their attention to our progress was amazing. Great crew of people! Can't recommend Evoluer enough!

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Coach Nak has been training my mom and I for a few weeks now. I love the fact that he has my mom and I on separate regimens since we have difference goals and fitness backgrounds. The workouts are difficult (but fun!) and he really pushes us to challenge ourselves.

Weight Management
BETA's trainers strike the perfect balance between militant personality "do this, do that" type trainer and a workout buddy. If you want someone that's not going to BS you, and give you common sense advice for YOUR body, these are your guys!
