I would recommend this place to any of my friends.“

At a time when our son needed structure and focus, Victor provided exactly that - with patience, consistency, and a leadership style that kids can truly look up to.

The gym itself is a small, family-run operation with high standards and a welcoming atmosphere. Every class was thoughtfully run, and the impact on our son’s confidence and self-control was noticeable and lasting.

We’ll always be grateful for the foundation Victor helped build. Highly recommend True Strength MMA to any parent looking for a quality martial arts experience for their child.“

“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!“

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.

“I’ve grown up with a lot of martial arts in my life. Judo and shotokan were my first two systems taught from father to my brother and me from kindergarten before studying a few other systems as a teenager.From all my training, I have seen many kinds of teaching, but two systems have stood out; one is our system here and the other was a very traditional southern kung fu kwoon. For me, the traditional path is best. These systems of martial arts were developed over centuries. In a world of sports fighting, we often forget the “martial” aspect. These systems were developed by oppressed people for self defense from outsiders who had conquered their lands with large militaries, like Okinawa.The systems in the dojo blend beautifully together. Both systems extend from Okinawa. (Other reviews claiming the system here is too Japanese are confusing shotokan (Japanese) with shudokan (Okinawan). I have studied both and they are quite different, despite similarity in the name. This would lead me to question the knowledge of such a reviewer.Hundreds of years. These systems were developed from roots that existed before our country. The techniques have been tested across sundry generations. They work. The system is also developed to teach martial skills - the ability to defend yourself - without the need for you to hurt yourself sparring with lots of people. The systems work.Come try out the dojo. Moeller Sensei will introduce you to everyone. It’s a welcoming environment for everyone, no judgment. If you’re looking for a Cobra Kai kind of dojo (great series on Netflix) then this is NOT it. This is about thoughtful development of skills that meet your abilities and then the work to increase those abilities. It’s excellent. You will develop. You will progress, and progression is earned on merit. There are no testing fees or anything like this. Moeller Sensei does not run the school to make money; he has a full time job. Moeller Sensei runs the school for his love of sharing two traditional systems of karate.Come join us for a class.“

“This location's been here for at least 50 years what an outstanding business, the way they treat their community and their members Charlie and Matthew a great instructors“

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

“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.“

“the dunwoody dojo has devoted instructors that will help you grow in every way possible.“

“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?“

“My son, Ganon, has been attending classes here since he was 4 (he is now 7). These past 3 years have been wonderful with helping him learn discipline and keeping him active. I highly recommend this karate school!“
