Martial Arts Schools near Watkinsville

“My son has been attending this gym for several years in their kids bjj class. I’m impressed with the knowledge and skill my son has gained in this time. I am equally impressed that while promoting excellence in this competitive and physical sport, they have also created an atmosphere where kids feel accepted and supported by their coaches and peers. I highly recommend this gym for any family with interest.“

“Great gym - came into college and I’d been training for a couple years. Bounced around gyms in Athens and settled on EA.

Coach JR is super technical (ex-Atos HQ) and probably the best technique in Athens. Great if you’re starting out or if you’ve been training a while - they’ve got a handful of good guys there.

Beyond training, I’ve made plenty of good friends there. Everyone is pretty friendly and nice. Good community fs.

They’re also adding more classes next month (wrestling and weekend class) so that’ll be dope.“

“The instructors do an amazing job of building personal connections with each student, which contributes to the positive learning environment in a HUGE way!

'Mat chats' are especially valuable learning moments for younger students during which thematic values of respect and responsibility are discussed with real time applications and learning points. Because of such diligent care to the form of instruction, students gain knowledge that serves them on a personal level far beyond the skills practiced on the mat. Our family is completely satisfied with our experience here.“

“I've been training here for about 4 months now. I was a bit worried to be starting taekwondo as an adult, but I didn't need to be worried at all! I've felt encouraged and welcome by the entire school, not just Master Hughes. Speaking of, not only does the man clearly know his stuff, but he's excellent at teaching it. I'm so enthusiastic about where my training can take me. Highly recommend coming to see what LOMA is about!“

“I can’t say enough amazing things about this school and everyone here. You really become part of a true family and the classes are beyond amazing and worth every dollar and more! Barbet’s Taekwondo is a vital part of the community and I hope everyone come and experience this wonderful place!“
