Highly recommend Dustin and his crew! I organized a self-defense course for my neighborhood, and it was great. A police officer from Gwinnett County started us off with some helpful tips and then we spent an hour with Dustin learning different moves. We would love to come back!

My kids have only been going for this past year for after school karate. We love it! I didn't like after school daycare so we decided to give this a try for a year. The staff is super nice and helpful. They respond to emails regularly and quickly. Mr. Dustin has just the right amount of discipline with the kids. I have noticed a difference in my kids when I pick them up. Would definitely recommend.

This place is phenomenal! They really make a positive impact on their kids. This is not a belt factory as EVERYTHING is earned. Not just by your kicks and punches but by your attitude and your commitment and your behavior as well. Dustin really cares about and takes time with the kids. I can tell you as the single mom of a 10 year old who has tried to raise her son properly that I don't always get it right. This time I did! There are lessons to be learned in life outside of simple martial arts. This is the place you want to take your kid if you want more than just a karate class. I will always recommend Dustin and Amber and they will always be in my heart and prayers as they continue in their mission to make a positive impact in the lives of children. I am very impressed with how they run their program and I just can't say enough about the positivity. Thank you for all you do Dustin and Amber and to your staff. You have made a definite mark in my son and he will remember you forever.

Our grandson has taken lessons at the Sugar Hill facility for several years; during this span of time I have come to know what wonderful people Amber and Dustin are. Without question, they truly love and care for the children attending their day care and MMA training services. While social unrest is tearing at the fabric of our country this reality stands in stark contrast to what is provided in in their facility. Here the children experience a wholesome and loving environment, where kids can be kids, hugs between them are frequent and respect is earned through a child's efforts and their respective behaviors.

Martial arts I thought there would be some sort of discipline, but no there isn't. I would not recommended this place at all. I thought it would be a really good spot for the summer based on the reviews. My daughter was bullied for the few days she attended. There were several phone calls made and the nonchalant attitude Jordan has is beyond me. We felt it was best to pull my daughter out. There were simply too many red flags. I'm not paying anyone for my child to come home with stories that will only make me regret sending her there.
