Championship Karate - Discover The Benefits

Championship Karate has provided Martial Arts instruction in the Cartersville area for over 5 years. We offer a positive yet challenging martial arts and fitness environment. Supplying a traditional karate-based education for adults, families, teens, and children, our classes are motivational and goal oriented. We offer convenient class times, industry-leading facilities, and instructors who are focused on real results for each individual student. Try our classes with our Intro Program and discover the benefits of training with Championship Karate.

Throughout time, Karate has gained a reputation for proven benefits: improved physical fitness and conditioning, better focus and concentration, improved coordination, increased self-confidence and the development of valuable self-defense skills. At Championship Karate, we pride ourselves on offering all of these benefits to each student—regardless of age or initial ability.

In addition to our traditional Karate programs, we have developed specialized, martial arts based-programs that offer traditional benefits in positively unique ways. Our Black Belt Club not only teaches the traditional aspects of karate but also specializes in various fighting styles including sport karate, sport jujitsu, and continuous fighting. Our Masters Club specializes in the extreme martial arts, where students will learn an upcoming sport called tricking along with an elite level of weapons training and point sparring. The Leadership Club is an unlimited program where students can train in all aspects of the martial arts at Championship Karate. They also will learn leadership skills to become instructors and school owners one day.

Why Choose Us?

The key in choosing a martial arts school is finding one that can motivate students to actually stick with it. Martial arts are not quick or easy. We believe that convenience, professionalism, flexibility of memberships, proven curriculum, and atmosphere are crucial elements in supplying this motivation.

On average, we tend to offer many more class times than other schools. We focus heavily on our scheduling and work to supply convenient options while still maintaining a productive instructional environment. We’ve also tried to make our membership options equally convenient. While many schools offer only long-term annual memberships Championship Karate offers both annual (which offer savings) and month-to-month options that allow you to cancel at any time. We believe that much in our programs. We offer classes from early day to late evening that are typically about 45 minutes long.

It’s our members who often tell us that, among other things, the atmosphere at Championship Karate distinguishes us from others. We believe in supplying members a professional, inviting, and family oriented atmosphere—a place where students and families feel at home. Although we honor martial art traditions that go back centuries, we are dynamic and constantly seek new and innovative ways to teach and service our members.

Our curriculum is unique, challenging, yet motivational. Students are constantly pushed to reach increasing levels of martial art skill, self-confidence, and fitness. We are focused on creating real results for each individual student. Simply put—what we teach, when we teach, and how we teach sets us apart from the rest.

Yes, we will teach self-defense skills. We will practice traditional striking and blocking. Our classes will improve focus skills and fitness...the list goes on. In the long run however, the most important aspects of training with us is unique to each individual. Ultimately, we strive to supply experiences in the Dojang (school) that will extend well beyond the martial arts floor into everyday life—for students of any age.

We encourage students to focus on three key things. One – Be Patient. To truly experience the rewards of martial arts training it takes time. So, be patient, especially during the first three to four months of training. Two – Try. It sounds obvious, but students need to work hard, attend class regularly and the results will follow. Three – Have Fun. Enjoy classes, make new friends, ask plenty of questions and enjoy the learning process. It’s that simple...but...will not always be that easy!

What type of martial arts do we teach?

At Championship Karate, we teach many types of martial arts. However, the key point we want to emphasize here is that all of our programs were created to suit the specific needs of the age group. We gear each program to the needs of the students in that particular age group.
However, it's important to mention that each of our programs blends the appropriate levels of karate skills (kicking, striking, blocking), kickboxing, jujitsu (joint locks, escapes, defenses), non-violent conflict resolution and life skill development together to form a fantastic program.

Consistency
Consistency, patience and effort are all fundamental to success in any program. However, we understand that our student's lives and schedules are very busy. That's why we recommend that students attend classes an average of twice per week for maximum benefits. We also offer very flexible class schedules that will allow you to find time to attend classes no matter how busy your day-to-day schedule becomes.

Your Personal Best
Championship Karate focuses on each individual student’s ability to achieve their personal best. You do not need to be in great shape or be an outstanding athlete to begin, all you need is a positive outlook and the desire to learn. Your ultimate success begins with a willingness to take that first step.
