Marietta Martial Arts

“Being a member of Marietta Martial Arts has been a great influence on my fight with weight loss and health.  I have battled with my weight for most of my life.  Like most people, I like to work out when it's fun and find trouble staying focused on fitness when I am forced to do the same hum drum routine day in and day out.  The great part about MMA is that you don't even realize you're working out.  The drills you do are fun. Before MMA, I used to dread a 1 hour workout.  Now, I can't believe 1 hour is already over.  My flexibility has increased, I lost weight (seemingly without effort), and my endurance and stamina increased.  I can't speak enough about MMA.”

"Beth feels added encouragement to leap her grades up even when she is less than enthralled with school work. There is a great deal of emphasis placed on effort as well as achievement at this school. There are awards and honors for all levels of achievement and individual needs are taken into account. Teachers and parents input is actively sought and utilized. Students learn how to treat a teacher respectfully in a firm but kind manner without shame. Beth’s focus and hand-eye coordination has improved greatly. This has been very evident in her softball performance as well as at school. She has also gotten into much better physical condition."

"Initially, my only reason for enrolling my son into MMA was for sport.  He has gained so much more from it.  Traditionally, people become involved in martial arts for self defense and for fitness reasons. As a direct result of training, people notice an increase in discipline, self-esteem, and self confidence.  MMA offers those things and more.  MMA is a place for families.  It is a place whose instructors understand the importance of family.  It is a place whose instructors have the same core morals and values.  In today’s society we have to be so careful of the people who come into contact with our children.  We work hard, as parents, to instill morals and values, good from bad, and right from wrong.  We work hard to ensure that programs and people of whom come into contact with our children only add to that foundation.  MMA is just that.  It is a program full of people who not only want to teach Tae Kwon Do, but they do in a positive, nurturing, and family environment.”

~Cary Turner  (William, age 15)

"My daughter would attend MMA six days a week if possible. Her desire to learn, progress, and push through difficulties I believe has greatly improved since she began Tae Kwon Do. It has been worth the investment of time and money.

~Tallia (Parent, Tallulah age 8)

“We came to MMA to work on focus issues but have gained so much more. All of the lessons taught at MMA reinforce parental teachings regarding respect, discipline, and focus.  The physical teachings of the instructors at MMA regarding the Tae Kwon Do moves are excellent; however, more importantly the life lessons regarding respect, discipline, confidence, and focus are invaluable. They make it fun too! We wish that every child could experience Tae Kwon Do at MMA as we would have many more fit, focused, disciplined, confident and happy kids!”

"Well, for my older son, Carson, the program has helped with his self-discipline and following through with things. He does not lack in confidence, so his benefit he’s received has mostly been with respect towards others, with himself, also self-management. And for my younger son, Clay, I think the program has benefited him more with his self-confidence because he’s very capable, but he gets frustrated real easily and gets down on himself and so I think his self-confidence has increased and it has been, for both of them, it’s beneficial by just getting along with others, working with others, and not giving up is a big thing. And we have also used things that we’ve learned at Marietta Martial Arts at home, as far as saying ‘Are you acting like a future Black Belt?’ and also can apply some of these techniques to talk to them about school as well.”

~Jennifer Lambert (Carson, age 8 & Clay, age 6)

"He enjoys coming to class and doing his best and just trying to be a good student, here and at school. And he’s been coming about two and a half years and it really has helped his development in school and learning to focus and to be a good student.”

"Marietta Martial Arts has helped him with his focus, direction, and respect.  So he’s learned a lot here in the area of respect. I feel that at home, he’s much better …  And focus, we’ve actually gotten reports from his teacher who’s actually asked us to continue here because they’ve seen the progress that he’s gained in his school work and attention and in focus.

"We have seen Holden learn to reach for goals…he now uses self-discipline more often because he’s thinking about where he wants to be and what he wants to do. The notion of being a future Black Belt helps us with our parenting as a way to talk about proper behavior.
