From the reviews

We had a fantastic experience with Karate Atlanta Roswell for our daughter. She joined the leadership program when she was 6 to help build confidence and it did that and a whole lot more at a time when we struggled to find an activity that she was willing to try.

Karate Atlanta donated their time to come to Esther Jackson Elementary and teach an hour class to my students who had been working very hard on their multiplication facts. This was a reward for the students and aligned with the karate theme we were using to learn their math.

★★★★★ — Leslie, Mar 2017

KA has helped our family in many ways. My son has gained confidence in his physical ability. He's gained discipline and respect for those who are in charge. He's gained skills to help him escape if anyone tries to kidnap him.

★★★★★ — Amy, Jul 2021

This location is outstanding! The instructors are highly skilled, patient, and genuinely invested in each student's progress. The curriculum is well-structured and caters to all ages and skill levels. The environment is welcoming and supportive.

Your first Karate class at Karate Atlanta

Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
