Martial Arts Schools near College Park

“Master Moreland is extremely knowledgeable in Taekwondo and Hapkido. He is wonderful with the children and my son looks forward to going to sessions. The classes are challenging yet not too difficult and there are students of ALL AGES. Everyone is welcoming and I recommend this dojo to everyone interested in martial arts.“

“I’ve been a student at Kick Start Martial Arts since I was 9 years old, and it truly feels like a second family. Earning my 3rd degree black belt has been an incredible journey filled with both challenges and personal growth. At the studio, we emphasize discipline and push everyone to be their best. While this can be tough for newcomers, those who stay dedicated truly thrive. Under Master Beaty’s guidance, I gained vital self-defense, leadership, and communication skills. I even earned my first job as a Kyo Sa Nim (Lead Instructor), which allowed me to mentor dozens of students as young as 5 and make a real impact on their lives. I still have cute drawings and cards from some of my younger students to this day. As a Black woman in America, I feel safer heading off to college in a couple months knowing I have the life skills to thrive in any space. I love Kick Start Martial Arts, the people there, and the community we’ve built. I am so grateful to have found not just a gym or a afterschool club, but a second home. Tang Soo!“

“This is great school. The classes are not overfilled and the kids do real work. I love the school attempts to build students inside and out. First martial arts school I've seen with truly holistic curriculum.“

“Not only is Tony Young a phenomenal martial artist, but he’s also one of the kindest and most highly respected people I’ve ever met in this industry. As a school owner myself, I’ve had the opportunity to meet many instructors across the state — and Tony stands out as one of the best. His skill, professionalism, and genuine care for his students and community are second to none.
Atlanta is lucky to have someone of his caliber representing the martial arts world.“

“GETKD has been such a blessing to our family. Being a single mother it has been hard. GETKD has given us a village that continues to pour into my children. My daughters love their instructors. They provide classes for every level of martial artist. Since starting my daughter has grown in many areas. Critical thinking, focusing, confidence, and many more. This can be seen in many of the students. It’s safe to say we’ll be around for a while.
