Martial Arts Schools in Atlanta

“Incredibly beautiful environment to be a part of. Master Choi brings together the beauty and skill set of Tae Kwon Do, so all students have the ability to adapt and learn. There isn't a class that is the same; with a new lesson brought forth. Each class is a contributing representation of a students desire to be their best, and achieve their goals- "Always do your best, and never give up."“

“There are many programs these days, offering grappling and striking. Yet, rare are the coaches that have competed at the “top” of the mountain. This gym has coaches and fighters that have and continue to fight across the globe, collecting world championship belts across disciplines. Coach Richard, in particular, is one of the most accomplished coaches one can find on US soil. He achieved great things as a pro boxer, pro kickboxer and Judoka. If you are interested in the fight sport, and are in the Atlanta Metro… this is the place to be.“

“Since starting at Kick Start a year ago, my child’s confidence has grown. My child is an introvert and watching her grow over this past year has been amazing. I’m blessed to have found Kick Start.“

“A Sensei and staff that totally understand who they are training and get the best out of every individual in a hardworking friendly environment“

“My son loves it. He says that it is really cool and fun because you sometimes get to play ball at the end of class and it is good exercise.

Update: 10 years later my son is still going strong and will be testing this year for his teen black belt. Very great place! Love you guys“

“Great and caring teachers, friendly environment and hands down one of the best Taekwondo club nationwide.“

“Coach Cam is an amazing instructor. He has helped my kids with confidence and showed them how to defend themselves“

“If you’re looking for authentic Muay Thai training in Atlanta, this is the place to go. The owner, Khunpon, is a retired professional Muay Thai fighter from Thailand, bringing with him authentic coaching expertise. All of the coaches are extremely knowledgeable on proper technique and will correct any mistakes you might have starting out. Additionally, all of the members here are very nice and will give you tips as well. It is really a great, supportive community all around!Note: I only train Muay Thai here so I can’t speak to the Boxing and BJJ programs.“

“If you want your kids to really learn the art of taekwondo and not just get belts, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. Master Pius and Master Elliott are the absolute best!“

“Great instructors and curriculum and culture . Smyrna is lucky to have them . The instructors not only have practicedTkd or adjacent traditional martial arts at a high level but they continue to pursue teaching as well as learning with unbridled enthusiasm . Curriculum is easily accessible anywhere with internet and this is actually rare in my experience.“
