Martial Arts Schools in Atlanta

“Our kid loves it! Master Choi and his team does a really great job of making sure the students understand the moves and also ensure they do the moves correctly while having fun. Another great thing we love are the life lessons and self-discipline that they teach. It was a great decision to switch to this school.“

“Since starting at Kick Start a year ago, my child’s confidence has grown. My child is an introvert and watching her grow over this past year has been amazing. I’m blessed to have found Kick Start.“

“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.“

“My son loves it. He says that it is really cool and fun because you sometimes get to play ball at the end of class and it is good exercise.

Update: 10 years later my son is still going strong and will be testing this year for his teen black belt. Very great place! Love you guys“

“Alex is an amazing training and makes working out fun! Great place to workout and train!“

“I've been training here for a year now! More consistently in the past few months. As a female college student, whatever techniques taught here are really useful in a real situation. I love it the fact that it's still rooted in traditional shotokan karate, but we also explore other martial arts' techniques and adopt what work in a real fight. Sensei Chapman constantly pushes his students to the limit, but hey no pain, no gain. I feel like this is my true family in Karate! OOSSUUU“

“If you want your kids to really learn the art of taekwondo and not just get belts, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. Master Pius and Master Elliott are the absolute best!“

“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.“
