From the reviews

We love MMA! My daughter started in the little dragon class and now she's in the junior class. She loves coming to MMA and she had me do the class with her last year. I got my yellow belt. It was fun doing the class with her. We enjoyed the bonding time. MMA treats you like family.

As parents, we’ve always wanted to get our son involved in sports—but finding the right activity wasn’t easy. When basketball options were limited, we discovered Marietta Martial Arts, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise! They offered a 7-day free trial, and we decided to fully sign up our 5-year-old.

★★★★★ — Prefranz, Jul 2025

This place is amazing. My son and I participate together. We bond and feel empowered at the same time. As an adult I felt so welcomed. I was nervous, but everyone encouraged me. The instructors are so wonderful, supportive, encouraging, and personable.

★★★★★ — Niecy, Jun 2025

I started going to Marietta Martial Arts several weeks ago during a challenging time in my life. It has been heartwarming to experience all the care and dedication that everyone surrounds you with. As a successful adult of 33 yo, it still made me realize that some foundations for me were missing.

Your first Karate class at Marietta Martial Arts

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.
