Martial Arts Schools near Johns Creek

“My daughter started going there..It is really useful for her and I strongly recommend it..“

“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!“

“I joined Master Kim’s school just to learn self defense. However, not only did I learn techniques, I learned confidence, courage, discipline, and control. As someone who had to focus on academics so much, Taekwondo proved to be a means of stress relief as well. It helped me gain so much self-confidence and made me much stronger, physically and mentally.“

“I switched my child from a different school to here, and I'm so glad that I did. We love the self-defense based curriculum and not just moves and forms. The staff is excellent with the kids, especially Miss Sarah.“

“At Choe's children have improved their confidence, respect, and physical capabilities since joining. Children are in a safe place where they learn not just self defense, but also respectful to others. Kids likes various programs that inspires and motivate them to be active and achieve goals in more systematic manner. A nurturing environment where students can grow mentally, physically, and emotionally, we would recommend anyone to give it a try feel the difference.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“I am so happy I tried martial arts with Karate Atlanta Dunwoody. The staff is amazing and I have learned so much from all of my instructors. Although I had never tried martial arts before, I felt comfortable as an adult trying something completely new at this school. I look forward to learning more.“

“The best quality coach you will find in the area, whether you are a beginner or seasoned. Coach Victor is a class act in how he coaches, runs his business, and as a person. He is the only person I would ever train with until he stops coaching and I would trust him to train my child if and when I have one.
I started as a beginner, no experience, and I chose Muay Thai. We dabble in self defense as well. I take private lessons and Coach Victor is patient and knowledgeable.. I ask a lot of questions. I always leave in high spirits!
I shopped around when I was looking into different gyms. World class difference in the way Victor approaches his clients than the other gyms.“

“my sons physical strength and muscle tone has greatly increased since beginning martial arts instruction at Master Bai’s school. I especially in this world today I am much happier that his self defense has reached this level. Also judgement and decision making have greatly improved…even conversing is mature and natural. His potential has always been there but now it has become more prominent. Great school“

“KA Alpharetta is a phenomenal studio with top notch training for kids and adults. This studio has had the best instructors that focus on the mental and physical side of martial arts on and off the mat.
You won’t regret giving this studio a try. What’s the worst that can happen?“

“Two Gold Tae Kwon Do is the best martial arts dojo for kids in the North Fulton area no question. Master Song and her team are experts in their craft/technique and have the perfect balance of empathy, expertise and discipline teaching their students. My daughter who is a bit shy has flourished in the 6 months she has been going and we noticed much more confidence and focus in her. The other thing we love about the dojo is there are a lot of women/female instructors and students almost a 50 / 50 balance. I strongly recommend Two Gold Taekwondo in Johns Creek if you want to expose and teach your kids to learn respect, discipline, confidence, focus and most importantly have lots of fun.“

“My two daughters have attended U.S. Taido since 2019 and are on track to become black belts in one more year. The school is a family-owned and run business, founded in 1975 by Mitsunobu Uchida, a first-generation Japanese immigrant. It's one of the oldest martial arts schools in the country. The longevity of U.S. Taido is testimony to its positive impact on the community and the thousands of students who have trained here and at sister schools across the country.

U.S. Taido and its instructors are committed to training and mentoring students, from elementary-aged children to senior citizens. The instructors can be tough, but they have genuine concern for their students. Lifelong friendships and bonds are forged here, not only between students, but also families. My children have learned karate and discipline, but valuable life lessons as well. U.S. Taido has helped them to grow physically, mentally, and ethically.

As a parent, I have the utmost confidence that the instructors are invested in my children's safety and well-being. Though I don't train at U.S. Taido myself, my wife and I have received tremendous encouragement from the wholesome family atmosphere and community the school has built. I hope to support the school and its mission for many years to come.“

“Karate bathrobe. It is a school with a lot of discipline where the Sensei is dedicated to his work making the children give their best. It is a place with a good family atmosphere. I recommend it 10 out of 10“

“Universal Martial Science and Fitness has the best teacher in the town who dedicates his time to each and every student and groom them. My kids love coming to learn here.“

“This academy is a great place to learn Taekwondo ! Grand Master Choi always teach kids with sincerity. Also, I love the after-school program here. Excellent teachers & care.“

“Great experience with the program so far. Master Eddie Berrian shows great care for the students and you can tell the more advanced students really know their stuff. This is a no joke place, if you want your kids to really learn how to defend themselves bring them here, and the price is fantastic. Cant recommend enough.“

“To say that the Dojo is a great place to train in Karate is a vast understatement: it is a life altering experience. My children go there and not only are they receiving top notch martial arts training, but they are trained to be the best people they can be. After my older child trained here for a year, I decided to join too, and I strongly regret not joining earlier. I'm learning a new sport, surrounded by a community of wonderful and supportive people, learning a new language, and learning new philosophies. I also feel the best I've felt in years: I've literally had a doctor prescribe more Karate for me. I have nothing but respect and feelings of joy towards the Dojo and all the staff there.“

“Excellent world-class instruction of Traditional Japanese Shotokan karate. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train their mind and body. Come join the club!“

“I was one of the first students that took Master Kim's class more than 24 years ago. I remember the compassion Master Kim had for everyone and exemplifies and embodies the indomitable spirit of Tae Kwon Do. He never stopped believing in me and he is someone I thank for my personal experiences in getting started on a beautiful art.-Master Justin“

“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.“

“Great and caring teachers, friendly environment and hands down one of the best Taekwondo club nationwide.“

“If you're looking for a real martial arts training this is the place to go muay thai beautiful and he'll train you well and train you hard you be ready to do damage“

“My whole family has been coming for years. Master bell is awesome. I highly recommend them.“

“The lady who owns the facility was very nice and explained to me the various options that they offer. They have everything from after-school care to camps that they offer throughout the year. If you are considering enrolling your kids or yourself, I recommend you stop by and see how great the layout is.“

“Beautiful spirit and group of coaches that truly work on helping the kids accomplish the skills.“
