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.

I have a child that has been attending martial arts classes at Umas (United Martial Arts Systems)…read moreand its a good fit. I'm reviewing this based on the younger 5-8 age group Little Dragons and Junior Ninjas, but not teens or adult age groups. And I won't be commenting about competitive sparring & tournaments because this hasn't been an option yet. I don't know the actual martial arts style, but I assume it is Japanese based (not Chinese Gung Fu, Korean Tae Kwon Do, or Filipino Kali). The atmosphere for this school is friendly & nurturing. This is not a school that teaches students to be hostile & aggressive, nor is this the method they teach. Students are taught to use self control and be respectful to the instructors, each other, and the people in their lives (e.g. parents & family, teachers & schoolmates, etc.). The main instructor is Mr. Miles. He and the other instructors are dedicated and well experienced. The lessons teach students to give it their all in class and if something doesn't go their way to keep trying. The great thing here is Mr. Miles applies this to real life by having students continue this mindset at at home & in school. Umas is a great place for your youngsters to work on self discipline, work on self control, & teaches mastering something is not the end but continues on.

I signed my child up for Karate to put her in an activity. The amount of time the children spends…read morein class is too short not only that I recently switched jobs and my hours have changed so I'm unable to take my child to practice anymore and it's just me, a single parent. I was told to email management about my situation just to be told no. I contact management again and explained everything and the only way to cancel would be if I moved 25 miles away or of a disability. I'm so pissed because things happen all the time unexpectedly and I definitely wasn't expecting to change jobs and I'm willing to show proof of new employment but no one is trying to hear what I have to say. They're only concerned with getting payments. If I wouldn't known that when I first inquired about the lessons, I WOULD'VE NEVER SIGNED UP because things happen. This program is not for parents who don' have helping hands to help with taking the child to practice.

Initially upon moving to the area, I began at a different studio and was very unhappy with my experience. In search of a better facility, I located Taekwondo Center of McDonough and explained my concerns from the last class. James, one of the instructors, was very patient in answering all of my questions. After consideration, I decided to give this studio a shot and boy am I glad I did! Before beginning the private lesson that I had scheduled for only my children, I was able to watch some of the other students in action during a belt/physical test. This inspired me to take the class for myself as well! We've finished our quick-start program this week and my children and I have all felt great and motivated after each class. They play energizing music during the warm-up and the exercises are fun! Classes are separated by age groups but they're integrated between all belt levels and I really appreciate that higher level students in their black-belt club help instruct newer students in class, too. It's very much a team atmosphere. Their motto is "A black belt is just a white belt that never quit" and I really like the focus on respect and discipline. They alternate instructors through the week between Master Huynh and the instructor James. I've really enjoyed classes by both and I value that they have the traditional values of martial arts in their program. If you're looking to challenge yourself and learn the true art, this is the place to go!

Addition context after Goddard's response:…read more After our initial review and Goddard's administrators political non speak response, our son is thriving in public school and all his teachers love him and say while he's high energy it's their job to channel that energy. We have also found out after a few months of school, that other parents that sent their kids to Goddard were targeted for early pick up as well. The facility doesn't care for every student, they only care for the students that fit their own mold and if you don't fit their mold, they will trash talk you and your parenting behind your back. We have now heard at least four other families that have endured the same disrespect from Goddard. Be warned.

Being under contract, we had to urgently freeze the contract, a retract it. Master Chang was unwilling to consider our situation, and did not work with us in any way.

The operation of the school is not the way I would expect a respected school to conduct training.
