Excellent place to train, the instructor corrects my form and mistakes that I make with precision and appropriately gets my bad habits out of me.

Awesome experience. My wife, son and I all are students here and we love it. Incredible tradition and lineage, terrific students, and a world class and caring instructor... cannot recommend this place highly enough. The changes in my 5y/o are stunning.

I train in Kykoushin Karate back home, and I'm in the same martial arts lineage through Shigeru Oyama. I came into Atlanta for work a few ago and I stopped in for a training session. The guys were very friendly and welcoming and I worked up a good sweat. It was great knowing the same katas as everyone else, even though I clearly need more practice. I can't wait to visit again and I recommend anyone looking for no-BS, hard-core, full-contact karate to check this place out. OSU!!!

The lead instructor tries to discourage new students in order to promote his own. I know that may not make sense to training beginners. It will make sense to people who have trained for years, and have had to switch gyms.
