“I’ve been doing the jujitsu classes and started with knowing nothing. It’s been a great environment to learn in and the other students are always very patient and respectful. Sifu Kevin is a great teacher and somehow makes jujitsu class fun to attend.I’ve learned a great deal of knowledge from my short time here. I’m going to keep coming back.“
“Great place .. my children loved it so muchMaster Choi is so amazing . My son had problem with focusing , and he kept him in place even for first few times .“
“I studied under Grandmaster Bai and Master Soo when they were located in maryland...and I still have fond memories of training under their masterful guidance. I was even fortunate enough to be an instructor of a youth class. If you are interested In studying the Martial arts...this is the place to go. I miss having the school here...If they were still here my son would be studying with Master Bai!Thank you for years of knowledge and friendship!(Lorin Heath and family)“
“OMG! This has changed my 12 year old grandson's life for the better. He was timid and shy. but now. He is confident. Thank you Master Pius❤“
“Master Yoon is an excellent teacher and an inspiring leader. I’ve had my son here for years now and over time my son has developed a fantastic of focus and discipline that would have otherwise been challenging for him to achieve without Tsunami as a place to channel his energy. My son has learned so much of Taekwondo here and that I trust, will carry through the rest of his life!“
“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.“
“Great school. It takes the time to teach all students and is a good community partner“
“After trying several other combat/martial arts systems -- I found Jeremy at IKMA. This was what I was looking for. No nonsense, intelligent self defense. Private lessons and group classes as part of the experience. Cool uniform. Worth every penny.“
“Love love love this school! The instructors are awesome and always push to pull the best out of my son. They have definitely contributed towards my son’s growth. I feel so blessed that my son attends this school!“
“I LOVE this place!! My kid had been going for two weeks and I was sold after the first class. The instructors are patient with the little kids (4 yrs) yet firm and mine's behavior had improved dramatically in just 4 classes. If you're looking for a place, definitely try them out.P.S. sometime the website acts up so call or drop by if you dont hear back, so glad we did!“
“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“
“Sajido Academy has the most patient and dedicated masters to teach kids and adults self defense techniques and building self confidence. My kid really enjoys going here. Master Marazio is amazing with kids, we parents enjoy watching the whole class progress from white belts to whatever color belts the kids are now. The morals teaching on top of self defense techniques by Master Jim makes this place a go to for those who wants to have a good self defense skill. What I like the most is how the kids get involved in the class not just as the student but also learning about leadership by leading warming up or sometimes even half of the session. That's how leaders are made by practicing and doing it ???. Keep up the good job Sajido Academy!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Albornoz Karate school is really great for learning discipline. I really like this place and it’s amazing! I learned so much stuff and had fun with friends. I would recommend this for young kids.“
“One of the prettiest dojo’s in the country, extremely welcoming atmosphere, and just a great place to train!!“
“Great and caring teachers, friendly environment and hands down one of the best Taekwondo club nationwide.“
“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.“
“Kwangjang Nim Sullivan is one of the most dedicated martial artists I’ve met in 32 years of martial arts training! Honored to have trained with him at his school! It’s top tier bar none.“
“Derrick is an amazing trainer and is able to incorporate martial arts in a fun and approachable way. Very bummed that I’m not close enough to still be working out with him!“
“This is a great place to come train. Fun self defence, krav, Mui Tai, and grapling. Coach Josh has a great kid class 2 times a week. I get to do Krav and Spar while kids train.“
“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“
“I was in town for few days and attending the BJJ class was an incredible experience, thanks to Coach Jeff. His expertise, patience, and passion for teaching made every session both challenging and enjoyable. Jeff's ability to break down complex techniques and his dedication to each student's progress truly sets him apart as a great instructor. His positive energy and encouragement create a welcoming environment that inspires everyone to do their best.“
“I have started taking taekwondo lessons from Kim Brother and Master Kim in the adult class for 4 months now and have learned so much and done so many things I never thought I could do and it’s amazing a great experience with great people and very clean as well“
“Great location, friendly and knowledgeable instructors. My son loves gaining new skills and he loves achieving new levels of his training. He learns respect, listening skills, as well as following directions. They have classes for adults too, I’m going to sign up and join the fun?“
“Our almost 8 year old Easton couldn’t be happier taking lessons at The Martial Arts Center. Shihan Mike not only is a wonderful instructor he such a great male role model. He does well with teaching our son Martial Arts and talking to the class about how to be responsible in life as well. We are very pleased.“
