John Gaddy's Karate & Boxing Studio

John has been an incredible inspiration for our son , a truly great teacher who listens to his students and tailors his training accordingly. My Son started at John's Dojo about 10 years ago...the rest is history, he is 18 now and has learned to not only defend himself but his training has developed him into a confident young man with respect and restraint. I can't say enough how proud I am of my son, and how much I appreciate John as his mentor!

John Gaddy is a passionate teacher who cherishes his students and appreciates your time. On day one he told me, "There'll always be a excuse not to come to class. You have to defeat yourself first." He uses an holistic approach to convey the true message of martial arts, that it is a way of life: a life based on self discipline and respect. His classes are a gift and we are really lucky to have such a role model in our community.

This dojo is so much more than a school. It’s our home! It’s the place where I️ trained for over a decade and the place where my daughter has been training since she was 4. Beyond the skill and belts, training with Shihan Gaddy has given my daughter and I the confidence to be strong, powerful, focused women who are capable of achieving whatever we set our minds to! We’re so fortunate to have this dojo in our community and to have a role model like Shihan Gaddy teaching our kids!
