Greenwood Christian Martial Arts Academy is exceptional in blending martial arts training with character development and faith-based values. The instructors are truly outstanding—professional, wise beyond their years, and deeply committed to nurturing students. They foster a disciplined yet supportive environment, holding students to high standards of behavior, respect, and personal excellence. GCMA has been transformative, as they empower students to grow not only in skill but also in integrity and spiritual strength. Highly recommend this academy for anyone seeking a meaningful martial arts journey!

Super-impressed by the instructors and atmosphere at GCMA. The instructors are young but mature and poised. They command the respect and attention of the students and do so with gentleness and patience. Scripture memorization is a requirement with each belt level which is a great addition to standard martial arts progression. This is a great place to develop the mind, body, and spirit.

I cannot speak highly enough to do justice! This team, this family, this group of peers are the most supportive, warm, welcoming, respectful, disciplined and FUN group I could ever hope to find.My son has found his tribe here. I have watched him grow more confident, strong and disciplined in his time here. He has made meaningful friendships. He looks up to his instructors. He has opened up in a way that he hasn't opened up anywhere else.In ways that most people will never understand, they might have saved his life or at the very least given him a new spirit.Thank you GCMA. Thank you Syke. Thank you Caleb. Thank you Sodrel family. Thank you leadership team. And last but not least, Thank you Father for answered prayers.

I am Jackson Deaton, a 3rd recommended red belt at GCMA. I have been going since April of 2021, and I love it. I know how it seems at first, you are nervous. But it just sparks something in me, and many others. GCMA has taught me many things, and i love going here. I love the friendships ive made along the way, they dont let u say, i cannot, because they know you can. They push you to become your very best. I love GCMA and will be continuing going here. If you’re interested in coming in and trying the 2 week free trial and you’re nervous, don’t be. Mr. Dove and Miss Sodriel are very nice and welcoming, they have taught me and many students many things, its not some old taekwondo facility, its a home for me. If you’re wondering if you should try it out, do it, trust me it is. Overall an ♾️/10. Thank you so much Gcma.(in the photos i am the one with the clear glasses.

I have been going to GCMA for about 3 and a half years now, and I have just received my Black Belt. I am part of the Leadership team, and I am a student. The Instructors/Staff are amazing, and the Students there are amazing as well. They teach good discipline, respect. They keep a good balance of Taekwondo and Fun to keep students engaged with the class. This place has definitely made a impact on my life and I won't ever regret coming to this place. It is an amazing experience and you could meet some good people. It can teach you some valuable lessons and skills. I highly recommend this place for anyone that want to try it out. 11/10

I've been bringing my daughter here for a few months now. The instructors are so nice and do such great work with the kids. They keep them engaged and excited about training. My daughter has gained confidence in herself since joining the academy. They are a faith based organization that focuses on the individuals relationship to their faith as well as their accountability to their families and as citizens in society. Good basic family values taught by 2 instructors that aren't much older than my own teen. I couldn't be happier she chose to be a part of this gym.
