Martial Arts Schools near Smyrna

“Great dojo! Friendly and very reasonable! Class is fun for my son but still teaching everything I want in a martial arts class. If your child is invited to leadership, they get to add a tumbling class. Testing fees are built in, NO BELT TEST FEES!!!“

“We were previously at another martial school but left as it didn’t seem to provide the traditional experience we were looking for. We’ve been very pleased with Tonchu. Both our son and daughter have enjoyed martial arts. Our son has progressed into the black belt program and is 9 years old. The instructors work with us and our son. We can discuss behavior at home and at school because we’ve found the instructors encourage strong character and discipline not only at Tonchu but in their other environments. Martial arts is not cheap and neither is dance which is the route our daughter decided to take. However, they explain the contract, costs and if needed you can set up an appointment for further explanation. I think the investment is worth it. We started out as recreation and progressed into the other programs as our son progressed. The growth we have seen in our son has shocked us. I took a class with the kids and discovered the forms they are learning are much harder than it looks from the sidelines. The students who continue to attend and progress at Tonchu are phenomenal and it’s amazing to see their skills grow year after year.“

“Master Jeon is a great mentor who supports his students. He works with each student individually and ensures they set themselves up for success. His dojang is welcoming, supportive, and great for students of all levels. We are glad to be a part of Team JJT!“

“In just a few weeks, I was seeing meaningful progress from my time at Eclipse gym. This place is really easy to get in and out quickly for a great hour long workout. The best part is that the trainers are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about your progress -every time I come in, they’re talking to me about my specific fitness goals and what we need to do that day to achieve them. I would recommend this place to any of my friends.“

“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.“

“I came to White Tiger Martial Arts during the summer while interning in Marietta, and it was such a great decision. I had never done Taekwondo before, but Grandmaster Seo and all the instructors were incredibly welcoming and supportive. Over the three months I trained here, I learned a lot- not just about technique, but also about discipline and confidence. The environment is friendly, professional, and encouraging for all levels. I’m grateful for the experience and definitely plan to carry what I’ve learned with me in the future! Thank you White Tiger MA for a great summer!“

“I had my girls in Summer Camp and they loved it! Learned such great tactical skills as they are about to go into kindergarten! Definitely coming back for more classes!“

“Both our kids are going to Black Knights and they love it! We love it! The instructors are excellent, rigorous but approachable, they set high expectations for the kids and work even harder with them to make sure they can reach these expectations. Not only is this great physical activity, they teach very valuable self-defense skills. I guess the biggest compliment we can give is that our daughter dropped ballet so she could spend more time at Hapkido!“

“I earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do as a teenager, but as the constraints of college, career and family began to appear, I lost touch with the art. However, thinking back on how meaningful martial arts was to me, and how great it was for stress release and confidence, I decided to restart my training last year after a 36-year break. After spending the last year at Into Arts, I can say this was one of the best decisions of the last several decades of my life. One of the first things that stood out to me is the way that I was greeted and welcomed by everyone. I received patient instruction as I regained my skills, now as an older adult. This school has a really vibrant sense of belonging and I feel more connected to the local community. I have met people I would have never met otherwise. I also really like the focus on self-defense, and Master Lawing's extensive experience is a major attraction.“

“Love this place! My son went to a different martial arts place that closed down and we found ETO. So much more legit and the pricing/scheduling is great. I have been doing their adult fitness class since Feb and it’s gotten me back in shape after having my 3rd baby. Great training, Quality people and a truly special community here :)“

“After researching all the karate schools around Marietta I kept coming back to ultimate karate . Finally I signed my kids up for 6 months and I am so happy with this school . The staff is so amazing at teaching kids and making them love what they are learning . I was worried my kids would get tired of it And stop coming but they love it so much they actually remind me of their schedule to go . Honestly the best decision I made to get them away from games and out them in karate and they learn to respect to .“

“My son loves Tonchu Vinings, Master Woodson is great at working with the children and teaching the curriculum!“

“My family loves PRO Martial Arts, the coaches love to work with children, my daughter has been on the karate classes since she was 3 years old, it was a great boost of confidence, she loves coach Joe, Anderson, Jessie and as she call him "coach D". Safe and nurture environment for all kids.“
