Our greatest responsibility is to instill a sense of discipline and a code of ethics to inspire students to lead exemplary lives as leaders in the community. Students of Martial Arts have many reasons for their interest in training with martial arts. Some are drawn to the physical fitness and weight-loss aspects of training. Others seek to add discipline and self control to their lives. Others are concerned about safety and self-defense. Whether you are interested in our programs for mental or physical well being, Marietta Martial Arts offers a number of programs that will fit your developmental needs and your busy schedule. We know you will find your experience with our school a positive and rewarding journey.
We use the kicking & punching in Karate to have fun but more importantly, we use the fun to develop FOCUS and to improve self-Confidence. Instructors emphases that students always do their best. Providing your Best Effort when trying something new is more important than having good technique.
All classes are taught with age appropriate techniques. Generally, kids age 4 & older are very successful in developing the Future Black Belt Behavior (Respect, Focus, Self-discipline) which is taught in every class. Adult classes are taught separate from the kids, so parents can also train.
All of our Instructors enjoy training in martial arts but we all love to teach. That's what we truly are - Teachers. Yes, we teach martial arts to our students but we primarily teach life skills. After 28 years of teaching, there's nothing more rewarding than to see a child develop into adult.
