Can anybody recommend a quality karate teacher for adults in the area?

I have been taking classes through Paul Willoughby at Spring Ridge Middle School. I started in the beginner class early this month. You will be in the class with kids though. There is probably a 60/40 mix of kids to adults. He is very good and I believe he is a 4th degree black belt. He is a certified instructor through the IKF I believe.

If you have base access this is an option:

The St. Mary's County Parks and Recreation has a great program for adults. I studied with Duke Vo there for about three years and loved it.

It's hard to find a good Karate instructor/dojo in this area. I visited quite a few of them - and none have even come close to the dojo I went to in NY... That said, Aikido became the alternate option. Try Southern Maryland Aikido Center (SMAC). Darrell and Donna are really nice people and great instructors...
