Great classes, and possibly even better extracurriculars! The camps and "ninja night" activities always get stellar reviews from my kiddos. The leadership team at this location has always been super friendly, helpful and invested in the success of their classes. It's been about a year for my 7yr old and karate at ATA Marietta has become her favorite club/activity/sport.

KA Marietta is AWESOME! The instructors are great! My daughter started at the age of 6 and she loves it. She was extremely shy and soft spoken at first but after a couple of months, her self esteem and self confidence improved significantly 😄

My son is almost 5 ,he attend to this class since last month and is doing so well ,As soon as our daughter is old enough, we'll be putting her in the program as well. We are really please with the program In addition to teaching the basic kicks and hits, they take time to teach about discipline, respect, manners, bullies and strangers. It's very worthwhile. Mr.Diets is Very nice and I would recommend him to anyone, and any age..

We have been attending karate classes here for two years. My child has grown tremendously in confidence and self control. Each class is very informative. Master Gallagher does a great job tailoring the class to fit each child’s needs, while pushing them to grow and achieve their goals. I would recommend this location for the great group of people. We’ve made friends within this location and throughout Karate Atlanta attending tournaments.

Our now 7 year old has been training for a little over two years here and we have seen monumental growth in his confidence, integrity, determination, and discipline. He went from not being able to train or test without me dragging him out onto the mat, to watching one testing session and then participating in the next, to jumping out on the mat without hesitation, attending tournaments, and practicing at home wanting to earn his next belt. It has been such a positive influence in our family and the instructors feel more like partners in our parenting rather than someone he sees a couple times a week. They are just as proud of him as we are and just as concerned when things are amiss and I am beyond thankful for each of them.
