After patronizing this ethical, useful, family-oriented, professional, and customer-oriented Built By Martial Arts academy for almost three years, I felt compelled to underline how impressed I was by the efficient abilities of Master Prazer, Mrs. Prazer, and their patient and kind staff to still offer excellent in-person and safe virtual home training even during the pandemic. Their top-notched training built confidence on self-defense skills and foster academic excellence in children. read more

This is by far still the best place to for a solid foundation in Martial Arts, Discipline, and overall professional development in the area. Being in the Military, we have since moved on, but the principles instilled in my child is lifelong and applies to his development until now. Military families moving into Fort Gordon, you should definitely consider this place, if you are wondering what activities you child can get involved in. read more

Built by Martial Arts is"awesome" in every way! My grandsons both were interested in karate & on a visit to our local fair we were introduced to one of their youth instructors who had a table set up . Normally I pass these tables but he began to talk to my grandsons about coming in to visit for a free class. I was very impressed by him & we decided to do the class! That was a little over a year ago now & we couldn't of made a better decision ! The staff are friendly & very helpful always. The head Instructor Mr Wood has been great with my kids as well as all the kids that attend. He's very strict & keeps the kids focused . The other younger instructors have been amazing at helping Mr Wood with training the kids /adults as well. All of the staff are patient & spend extra time to make sure everyone works hard to acheive their goals so that they may move forward. The owner Mr Master Prazer is very helpful and takes time to get to know everyone who joins Built by Martial Arts. Hes always there to help with whatever you may need. My grandsons absolutely LOVE their class and all the Instructors!! Built by Martial Arts is like belonging to a second family because thats how they make you feel ...like family!! If you are looking for a place to join you cannot go wrong with this company! ​ read more

Master and Mrs. Prazer are amazing! We had our 7 year old start and he has grown in leaps and bounds in his abilities at home and on the mat. We like it so much we started our oldest daughter. It is very family friendly and loving caring instructors. Here you are not a number or just another sale. You are an individual person/family that they truly care about! I am so thankful for them. read more

This company lures you into a no-refund contract, and once you are locked in, they state you can't move forward in the program without a significant addition cost increase. Poor service. Dishonest company. read more

My eldest son (13) has been going to ATA in Evans for 2 years now. He is now part of their legacy program where they are teaching him leadership and coaching. He loves it and has become a much stronger, confident person because of the program. Now my youngest son (6) has joined and we've seen so much improvement with his coordination, listening, and discipline which has helped at school and home. The Prazer's treat everyone who joins like family and truly care about their students. All the instructors are great role models and I know my sons look up to them, especially Mr. Thomas who is very patient and kind but also stern when needed read more

The main reasons we chose ATA Martial Arts is because Master and Mrs. Prazer teach consistent positive reinforcement and are always concerned for the students' safety. Furthermore, respect, courtesy, discipline, and self-control are integrated into every class. Our son was 9 years old when he enrolled at ATA. He was a "tornado" and HAD to be homeschooled. He is now 14 years old. He has been enrolled in public school for the last two years making honor roll each semester. Thanks to God and the persistent work of Master and Mrs. Prazer, our son is well focused, courteous, and respectful. He is now a 2nd degree black belt and understands that hard work and discipline are the way to achieve his goals. Thank you Master and Mrs. Prazer for being an enormous part of our son's successful future. read more

This is a good place for your kids to learn Karate. But please watch out for the local business center's surrounding this class. They literally force you to join the burn bootcamp or go to the nails spa when you try to drop or pickup your kids. Yesterday I went to drop my kid in the ATA karate and the burn boot camp coach instructed out several women to run out for exercise into the parking lot while we are still in the middle of dropping the kids. The nails spa owners are always outside and they keep looking at people. I don't know if this place needs to have better advertising instead of throwing this kind of advertising on parents who get there to drop and pick up kids. The coach does that every time we drop kids off and the burn boot camp business owner needs to not interrupt parents who are trying to drop off kids. The parking lot is not a safe place for burnout calories while parents are backing or driving cars and are held up there waiting for the group exercise routine to be completed. We all have our schedules and we cant sit there watching these ladies doing a great workout and get inspired and eventually sign up for the class. This is not a good way to treat parents who are dropping of kids and are in a rush to do other errands. read more
