Martial Arts Schools in Alpharetta

“I cannot imagine a better place for a child - or even an adult - to learn karate than Crabapple Martial Arts Academy. Well maybe a super secret dojo in the remote mountains of Japan, but outside of that, CMAA is hard to beat. The staff, faculty, and even the student leaders who help teach the younger classes are all exactly as I had hoped they would be. They are kind, patient, engaging, and skilled at what they do.

We found CMAA by chance. We weren’t planning to enroll our daughter in karate classes, but when we met Sensei Robert at an event, we were so impressed by how he guided and focused our daughter, Lorraine, that we decided to give it a chance. I would like to thank him particularly. In our time there, he has greatly exceeded even that initial good impression. His talent as a teacher is matched and improved by his patience, good humor, and attention to his students. You could not ask for a better role model in your child’s life.

Unfortunately we live more than 30 minutes away and our toddler who if forced to come with us to each lesson just can’t handle the twice a week drive anymore. Still, we’re so glad to have been part of this community for a few months, and we eagerly look forward to rejoining it when our children get a little older.“

“I highly recommend Tiger Academy to both beginners and experienced jiu-jitsu practitioners.

I began training there in 2019 at age 45 with no prior martial arts experience, seeking a unique challenge. The results exceeded my expectations: within 6-8 months, I lost 30 pounds through consistent training alone (my poor eating habits sadly unchanged). Training there leaves me feeling energized and as fit as I was in my 20s.

Beyond physical benefits, Gracie jiu-jitsu at Tiger Academy has fostered significant personal growth, positively shaping resilience and self-awareness.

Instructors prioritize technique and safety, offering practical injury-prevention instruction that goes along with the teaching. The culture emphasizes technique-driven training, mutual care and respect, and longevity on the mat.

Above all, the staff and members form an exceptional, supportive community of outstanding individuals!“

“Ms. Tatum and the Johns Creek Staff do an amazing job. They really care about every student and their development.“

“KA Alpharetta is a phenomenal studio with top notch training for kids and adults. This studio has had the best instructors that focus on the mental and physical side of martial arts on and off the mat.
You won’t regret giving this studio a try. What’s the worst that can happen?“

“This academy is a great place to learn Taekwondo ! Grand Master Choi always teach kids with sincerity. Also, I love the after-school program here. Excellent teachers & care.“

“Excellent world-class instruction of Traditional Japanese Shotokan karate. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train their mind and body. Come join the club!“
