These classes have been such a great outlet for our son. We love the instructors and the whole karate family!

I especially appreciate the flexibility with so many classes offered per week! Allows us to work the classes into our schedule.

I have personally seen alot of growth in all the youngsters that have attended and highly recommend this place to anyone.

I signed my boys (11 & 9) up for a trial class and they loved it so much that we decided to join. In the time that we have been here my boys have learned so many life skills. I love that this is family owned and we truly feel like we are a part of a family!

Master Wilson and Ms. Ashley have created an environment that is so welcoming, stimulating, and engaging for our 3 year old daughter! My daughter has absolutely loved her time at the tiny tigers class and her dad and I have both noticed her become both more social and disciplined since joining the dojo! Would definitely recommend for any parent interested in having their kid learn a martial art to bring their child here!

I have been taking the online virtual classes with Master Wilson for around a month or so. I absolutely love it. I have learned a lot and have developed skills along with more self discipline and self confidence. I look forward to every Weds n Thursday to class. Master Wilson is very patient as I have never taking a martial art class before. He is always available for questions and gets the answer right away. I definitely recommend Cartersville Martial Arts to anyone wanting to learn!

I really appreciate the intentional training to help each individual develop at their own pace and to the best of their ability. The people are genuine and kind. The martial art is practical and physically sensible. I would recommend this school and it’s family of practitioners to anyone.

Signing our 5 year old up for martial arts has been the greatest thing for him! He was angry and would get angry at the drop of a hat, often times over the silliest things. Since our son has started martial arts he has better manners at home, he is helpful around the house, keeps his room clean, and does things around the house without being asked to do so. Martial arts is so much more than fighting, it’s more about self-discipline and self-control! Best thing we’ve ever done as parents!

My son has been here for a few years now, and he enjoys the classes, while I enjoy seeing him improve. The instructors are great with kids and very dedicated to the school and to CKD. There are also regular "non-class" activities, just for fun. Great place to learn martial arts!

My 3 year old loves going to class with Ms. Abby. We’ve tried other sports and they never kept his interest but he does great in Choi Kwang Do! The teachers are so patient and friendly.

Both my Daughters started in 2009. it was more of a distraction than anything else because at the same time their brother was born with many medical issues and not allowed to come home right away. but very quickly became so much more. both my girls at the time was ages 7 and 6. Both went on to earn their 1st degree black belts and my oldest continued and is now a 3rd degree. they became so much more than a school it became a safe haven when life was very stressful. my oldest is now a sophomore in high school she is very goal orientated and has big plans for the future she is an a/b student with a good part of that because of her choi family. the art has helped her with her focus and she has been able to overcome some of her fears. Thank you Cartersville Choi Kwang Do for being more than just another after school activity.

I enrolled my 7 yr old a month ago, and he absolutely loves it. Being ADHD & autistic, he struggles with direction, focus, change, and other obstacles. Choi Kwang Do, and all the instructors, have done wonders with him just in a months time. The balance it brings to his life is amazing, and the accomplishments he has made bring huge smiles to his face...and ours! It feels more like a family gathering here, rather than going somewhere and feeling like you're just another client.
Thank you so much for what you do! 😁

My daughter started with CKD at an after school program. After seeing the benefit for her, both physically and mentally/emotionally we HAD to get more involved! The instructors truly care about the kids and training them to live full, disciplined, successful lives. They not only teach the physical disciplines of Choi Kwang Do but also talk to them about monthly themes like goal setting and the importance of follow through. I cannot say enough good things about this program or the people who run it! We have found our place as a part of the CKD family and I cannot wait to watch my daughter continue to grow in her knowledge and ability in this martial art.

Martial arts that doesn't destroy your body, builds discipline, helps teach to focus and defend yourself. Yoga stretches, tae kwang do moves but in a smarter package for your children. My son has been going for nearly 2 years. He loves it. Prices are very reasonable. The instructors are fantastic. Worth every penny and every minute spent here.

My two oldest kids and I all train at Cartersville CKD and we positively love it! People ages 3 to 103 (and beyond!) can improve their health and learn self defense in a great environment with fantastic instructors. Even my youngest daughter (age 3) can't wait to go to CKD with us. We have benefitted on so many different levels, including goal-setting, health and wellness, and behavior. All this AND we have a great time! Love it!

I have three grandchildren who have been going to CKD for 4 years. I have a 9yr old black belt, a 8yr old brown senior and a 5 yr old gold belt, all females. I wanted to give them something they can take with them forever. I also wanted them to learn to protect themselves but they have learned so much more including respecting others, following directions, and they set goals. One of them has stepped up and shows great leadership skills. Choi Kwang Do is like a family where we all join in all kinds of activities and support the community.
