I've been to many gyms in many different towns, and can without a doubt say that SFC is truly the…read morebest gym I've trained at. It's a hidden gem full of great instructors and great students. Also it's one place that really feels like home and has a sense of family, everyone is cool with each other and all support one another; no one is a d-bag or thinks they're better than anyone else. The best instructors in town, a crazy low membership rate, full access, no contracts, KSU discount, awesome people, and an excellent facility make SFC the best choice in the area, period. If you don't believe me, they do a free week pass; go check it out yourself.

Everyone was friendly and treated me like one of the "regulars"... and I felt very comfortable, right at home. The mat area is immense, extremely spacious and clean. There is a nice separate locker room and great shower area. There is also a nice pro shop with Gi's, rashguards, jiu jitsu gear bags, etc. I participated in an advanced (competition) class... we did positional sparring, regular training, and a particularly interesting drill where you had to pass without using hands and the guard player had to defend first with just hands no feet, then no hands just feet... As there is typically some apprehension with training with people that you just met, but I felt very comfortable with everyone at Kenny Kim's. I got some great rolls... I travel to Atlanta regularly and plan to return to Kenny Kim's for sure!!!

There was a young lady with multi colored hair at the entrance but she was too busy on her phone to acknowledge my husband and I so we left. I have since been on the fence not only because of our encounter but because of some concerning things I have heard from multiple people regarding what has been described as "childish drama" with the employees as well as told that if our family were to register "There would be certain things we would have to overlook" because the pros of the training out weigh the negative aspects of some of the people that work there. I don't base my opinions or decisions on hearsay and like to see things for myself and was willing to give this martial arts school another try (despite my off putting first impression.) I believe everyone deserves a second chance and what is a problem for one person doesn't mean it will be for another. That being said, I was leaving Pizza Hut last night (6/26) and witnessed the woman that I remembered seeing the day my husband and I came in accosting a black woman outside of the school. The employee was screaming at her, the woman was screaming back and all I heard were words like "pedophile" and other insults. It seemed like it was something personal and there were no children present but the behavior of the employee was abhorrent and as a result I absolutely will never consider this establishment an option for my family. It is my hope that whatever took place is resolved and because this is the second time I have witnessed this young lady acting in such a disrespectful and unprofessional way, management takes a good hard look at how their establishment is being represented to those of us in the community.

Not only do the team collect her from school their method and structure for child development is outstanding. Mr Thomas, Ms Katana and the rest of team go to great lengths to inspire, motivate and nurture each and every child. I was worried about the full contact aspects of Karate (as my child also needs to use her fingers for music) but have come to see it is more about the forms and discipline required for the practice of Karate. Highly recommended.

My 9 year old son has been taking karate since he was 4 years old, first at The Dojo at Cumming and…read morenow at The Dojo at Vickery Village (after we moved). It has given him a world of confidence and has enforced the discipline, self control and respect that his dad and I work to instill in him at home. Mr. Tomas and Ms. Andrews are amazing instructors and seem to have an endless supply of patience with their students. They are firm and encouraging and always have complete control of their classes. The after school program we were previously using decided to no longer offer this service, leaving us rushing around to make other arrangements within a few weeks before school starting. We signed up for The Dojo's after school program and have never regretted the decision. They incorporate a karate class within their program (along with homework and other play time). My six year old daughter wasn't too keen on the idea of taking karate even though she's grown up watching her brother do it. After the first session, she was hooked. She absolutely loves it and it's really cool to see the positive impact it has had on her. The whole family loves everything about The Dojo!

We thought he would be interested, so we decided to try this school out after having seen information about them online. The school is now owned by Mr. & Mrs. Evans, who purchased it from the Larys about two years ago. They used to have two locations (this one and one down near Holly Springs) but have decided to close the other location for various reasons. Shortly after my son started taking classes, his (then) two-year-old sister started begging us to let her take classes, because she saw how much fun my son was having. She started their Tiny Tiger program shortly after she turned three, and has loved it ever since. Now, my wife and I have both become sucked in as well and are enjoying going here instead of maintaining the gym membership that I had down in Alpharetta. Mr. Evans is the head instructor and Mrs. Evans generally handles the office side of the business. They do make use of a couple of student instructors, particularly for larger classes. My biggest complaint is that it does seem like the prices are perhaps a little on the high side relative to other schools, but I am not sure how much of that is because of their overhead costs and how much is due to simple choice on their part. Either way, I do feel that the school is a good value for the money.
