Martial Arts Schools near Sugar Hill

“Coach Kyle has been an exceptional mentor for my sons, husband and I. We have all shared our own journeys with coach and our extended family at Fogel BJJ. We are forever grateful for the level of discipline, integrity, and warmth he has cultivated for all of us. As a woman, mother, daughter, sister, and wife, I thank you coach Kyle for the confidence I feel within my own body and my ability to protect myself.“

“Highly recommend Dustin and his crew! I organized a self-defense course for my neighborhood, and it was great. A police officer from Gwinnett County started us off with some helpful tips and then we spent an hour with Dustin learning different moves. We would love to come back!“

“Choe’s Hapkido is a great martial arts school that truly embodies the values of discipline, respect, and personal growth. From the moment I walked in, I felt like a part of the family. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also genuinely care about each student’s mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're a beginner or have years of experience, the instructors go above and beyond to encourage, challenge, and support each student. My wife and I are grateful to be part of this amazing school and highly recommend Choe's Hapkido to anyone looking for a martial arts program that values personal development just as much as technique. Thank you for all that you do!“

“Training at Creighton MMA has been one of the most rewarding experiences for both me and my son. As a purple belt in jiu-jitsu and someone who’s had the opportunity to experience nearly 20 grappling & MMA gyms across the country, I can confidently say this place stands among the best. The knowledge, attention to detail, and level of instruction under coach Paul Creighton are second to none. His background speaks for itself, but what truly sets Creighton MMA apart is the culture—it’s professional, welcoming, and growth-focused.

For deeper insight: the room isn’t just filled with competitors or fighters chasing medals. You’ll find elite practitioners rolling side-by-side with hobbyists, parents training alongside their kids, and beginners finding their footing—all with mutual respect and care. My son thrives in the kids’ program, where instruction goes far beyond basic techniques. Led by multiple black belts and several other upper belts, the kids program emphasizes growth in both competency and character.

Despite the high level of talent on the mats, ego doesn’t dominate here. Safety and care for teammates is championed; everyone trains smart and looks out for one another. Whether you’re aiming for a national podium, local tournament win, or simply staying active and making some incredible friendships, Creighton MMA offers an environment where you will grow, develop, and thrive.“

“I absolutely love Ascension! My son has been training in Jiu Jitsu here for about a year and a half, and it has been such a positive experience for him. The coaches are fantastic, and the atmosphere is welcoming and supportive. I joined the women’s kickboxing class about 6 months ago, and I’m so glad I did! The classes are challenging, empowering, and fun, and I’ve seen amazing progress in both my fitness and confidence. The community here is incredible, and I’m so grateful to be part of such a motivating and encouraging environment. Highly recommend Ascension to anyone looking to improve their skills, fitness, or just have a great time!“

“This is the best dojo with its best teacher. Master Mostiler is the man and he is a legend. He taught me everything I needed to know about Tiger-Rock Martial Arts, the most advanced Taekwondo on the planet. I highly recommend for anyone to totally sign-up, you'll have a blast here with family and friends!“

“Let me start off by saying that I am not a regular student at this school. I attend the Train with the Masters event each time it comes around. From that experience I have a very high opinion of this school. It's always clean, plenty of training equipment, nice staff, lots of programs, and incredible teachers. Sifu Fong is a wonderful man and I feel incredibly lucky for the little, but wonderful time I get to spend with him and Guro Dan Inosanto at this academy!“

“Great staff, they're supportive and competent. My five year old son has been attending for 2 months and I'm very pleased with his process in Krav“

“Master Kim& Yun are very kind and nice.
Space is good for Taekwondo.

Master Han is also good coach with passion for student.“

“My wife, myself, my son and my daughter are all students at the KA Suwanee location. We love the instructors and their ability to teach complex techniques to different age groups. My wife and daughter have already obtained black belt status (2nd degree and 1st degree respectively) and my son and I will earn ours in 2025.
Taekwondo is a great sport for children to learn confidence and discipline - there is always something else to learn. Master Nominee Monroe is an amazing chief instructor with 20+ years of experience.
I highly recommend KA Suwanee for both children and adults alike. Age is just a number!“

“My son has been a student for the past 3 years. He loves it. He always says he has so much fun, yet loves the challenges he is faced with. He is almost at his 2nd degree in 3rd grade. As a teacher, I love that they integrate thr importance of school, respect for others, as well as themselves, and kindness in general. My 2nd son now attends and equally loves it. The head master is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about TKD. They treat everyone with such respect and make you feel comfortable while you wait for your child! There are many TKD studios; however, not all with the kind of heart this studio upholds.“

“Putting our 5 year old son in Atl Taekwondo Skillz has been a great experience for him and us. He started when he was 4 and we can really see his growth. The instructors are wonderful, they teach and test children according to the kids' growth and development. Mr Salama has a great understanding about kids physical and cognitive development, it comes thru in class. They have been great with following cdc guidelines and infection control throughout this pandemic. It has been a great place for our son to learn new skills , grow, be able to run and have fun all at the same time.“

“My kids have been going here for many years and not only do they do Takwando they have an amazing summer camp program. Now since the COVID 19 they have stepped up and now offer DIGITAL LEARNING TO ALL STUDENTS IN GWINNETT COUNTY.. Digital Learning had been a lifesaver for all Parents needing to get back to work...“

“We are so happy with our decision to enroll our 8 year old at United Family Taekwondo. It has been the best experience for our child - he looks forward to going every single time and is willing to work hard to master the skills. He is not only learning skills through discipline and resilience, but also about responsibility and respect. Master Daniel is an excellent teacher, imparting crucial skills and techniques woven with lessons in a fun and meaningful way. He is simply fantastic with the students. The facility is well run and everyone is helpful, focused, and kind during classes and belt tests. Thank you UFT for all you are doing!“
