We attended our grandson's 6th birthday party at Master Shim's in Fayetteville and I admit I was a…read morelittle skeptical; a birthday party at Tae Kwon Do?? I was very wrong. The kids had a great time and it was so impressive to see most of the kids who had never even been to a Tae Kwon Do class completing all the movements and exercise. The instructors/hosts, Mitchell and Chandler were extremely professional and related very well to all of the kids. They kept them engaged and entertained the entire time. The kids were exhausted but clearly had a fantastic day. I was also impressed with the over all discipline, respect and good manners that Tae Kwon Do teaches. I would highly recommend Master Shims for anyone looking for a healthy outlet for their children.

Wonderful place for kids to learn discipline and have fun. You won't be disappointed..read more

Amazing Jiu-Jitsu Academy! My son has been there for over 3 yeas. He's 11 now. His…read moretransformation has been awesome. Confidence, discipline, manners, respect and dedication are taught and fostered in this program in addition to self-defense and anti-bullying. Even his grades in school have improved. I can't say enough about the Coach and this program. They also teach adult classes as well as special workshops for basic women's self defense. This art and the Gracie syllabus are perfect for anyone interested in learning the best self defense in the world. We are lucky to have this Academy located here in Peachtree City GA!

I began training in BJJ in 2002, my freshman year in college. After 2 years I moved to Valdosta to…read morefinish school, but had trouble finding quality BJJ at that time (it has since grown down there). I ended up teaching at a local gym as a Blue Belt (mostly no-gi with basic gi) and later got my purple belt from Glenn Hamby, who was a brown belt under Marcio Feitosa at the time. After a few years I had to give up teaching to pursue a career. I have since moved to Fayetteville, GA and was referred to Gracie Balance in Sharpsburg. There are a few schools closer to where I live. I have nothing bad to say about them, since I haven't trained with them, however, since the first day I trained with Jorge (3rd degree under Pedro Sauer) I never regret driving past them to train with Jorge and the rest of the BJJ family there! Keep in mind I have shopped plenty before I moved here, so I'm familiar with how other schools are run (Franco De Camargo--LA, Kron Gracie--LA, Renato Luca--Carazinho, R.S. [Brazil], Hamby Freestyle Jiu Jitsu--Albany, GA, etc.) In short, it's a great, quality school with quality instruction, and a great family to roll with. NEWCOMERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!! NO INTIMIDATION FACTOR TO WORRY ABOUT!! If you are coming to learn, you won't be disappointed!! Whether man, woman, or child, Gracie Jiu Jitsu is by far the best, most practical system I've seen for self-defense.

After doing a Seminar with Adam, AG's founder and owner, I decided this was the place that could change my outlook, and I wasn't disappointed. Adam has curated an incredible energy in his school. His excellent vibes can't help but reverberate through the room, easing your anxiety about trying something new while simultaneously helping new information become incredibly digestible. An excellent teacher, and more specifically a very strong communicator. If you're someone intimidated by this martial art, know that this will be the place for you. Also he has a sick mustache that you can't help but respect. Hope to see you there

The event was nice with very good instruction by the coaches that came in from California to support the owner.

The location was pretty small inside with barely enough room for everyone and we had a hard time locating it. There is free parking behind the building in a lot surrounded by the apartments.
