When you walk through the doors of Choe’s HapKiDo Cumming, you can feel the energy right away. Smiles, laughter, focus, and encouragement fill the mats. Students are learning powerful self-defense moves — but what really stands out is the sense of family.
At our school, martial arts isn’t just about kicking and punching. It’s about helping kids grow confident, giving teens a positive outlet, and inspiring adults to take time for their health and goals. Here, every student is part of something bigger — a community that celebrates hard work, friendship, and growth.
If you’re looking for a place that builds strength and character while keeping things fun, you’ll love what our Martial Arts Cumming Georgia family has to offer.
A Martial Arts School That Feels Like Home
For years, Choe’s HapKiDo Cumming has been a local favorite for families looking for more than just an after-school activity or fitness class. From toddlers to adults, everyone can find a place to grow, sweat, and shine.
Students come from all over — Cumming, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Suwanee, and beyond — and they stay because of the positive environment and supportive instructors who treat every student like family.
Our program is part of the nationally recognized Choe’s HapKiDo organization, a trusted martial arts system that combines self-defense, fitness, and life skill development into one dynamic experience.
Every kick, block, and belt test is a chance to learn respect, discipline, and perseverance — the very values that make martial arts training so special.

Why Families Love Training Here
At Choe’s HapKiDo Cumming, we believe that everyone can benefit from martial arts — and we’ve designed our programs to meet each student where they are.
- Kids learn how to listen, focus, and stay active in a fun setting.
- Teens build confidence, learn real-world self-defense, and find friends who lift them up.
- Adults rediscover motivation, release stress, and improve fitness while learning something new.
But what makes our school really shine is the connection. Parents often tell us that this is the one place where their child lights up. Teens find mentors who encourage them. Adults discover a new kind of strength they didn’t know they had.
It’s not unusual to see parents cheering from the sidelines, kids high-fiving each other after class, or instructors giving out fist bumps for effort and teamwork. This is what makes Choe’s HapKiDo Cumming more than a school — it’s a family.
Programs for Every Age and Goal
Kids Martial Arts: Building Confidence Early
Our Kids Martial Arts program helps children channel their energy in a positive way — through movement, focus, and fun. From the moment class begins, kids are jumping into exciting activities like agility drills, partner exercises, and playful obstacle courses that keep them smiling and moving. But underneath all that fun, they’re learning something even more valuable: self-control, respect, and perseverance.
Each class is thoughtfully structured to teach children how to listen, follow directions, and apply focus — skills that naturally carry over into school and home life. When they practice their kicks, blocks, and stances, they’re also practicing patience and determination. The repetition teaches them that improvement takes effort, and every small success becomes a big win.
Parents love seeing their children stand taller and speak with more confidence. It’s heartwarming to watch them beam with pride when they earn a new stripe or belt — a moment that reminds them how capable they really are. Over time, these young students develop not only strong bodies but strong minds and hearts.
Teen Martial Arts: Leadership and Strength
For teens, martial arts provides more than a workout — it’s a place to belong, grow, and thrive. Our Teen Martial Arts classes challenge students both physically and mentally, helping them build discipline and resilience that extend far beyond the mats.
Each session encourages focus and teamwork through dynamic drills, sparring, and technique training. Teens learn to push past frustration, stay patient through progress, and lead with confidence. In an age filled with distractions and pressure, martial arts gives them a healthy, empowering outlet to channel their energy and stress into something positive.
Many of our teen students also take on leadership roles in class, assisting younger students and serving as mentors. They discover that being strong isn’t just about physical skill — it’s about setting an example, showing kindness, and lifting others up. These lessons in responsibility and empathy are what truly make our teens stand out.
Adult Martial Arts: Fitness, Focus, and Fun
Our Adult Martial Arts program offers the perfect combination of fitness, self-defense, and personal growth. Each class is designed to help adults of all experience levels move better, think clearer, and feel stronger — physically and mentally.
From energizing warm-ups to detailed technique practice, classes blend stretching, cardio, strength training, and self-defense drills that improve coordination and endurance. You’ll sweat, smile, and learn skills that make you feel more capable and confident every week.
For many adults, martial arts becomes a much-needed break from the daily grind — a chance to de-stress, focus on themselves, and reconnect with their inner drive. Whether your goal is to tone up, improve flexibility, or learn practical self-defense, you’ll find a supportive, encouraging group of people right alongside you.
The best part? You progress at your own pace. Our instructors guide you with patience and motivation, helping you challenge yourself safely. Before long, most adults notice not only stronger bodies, but sharper focus and renewed motivation in other areas of life.
Karate Birthday Parties: A Kickin’ Good Time
Planning a birthday party that’s active, exciting, and easy? Our Karate Birthday Parties are a total hit with kids — and a relief for parents!
Each party is a high-energy celebration filled with fun martial arts games, mini-lessons, and teamwork challenges. Kids get to kick, punch (safely!), and cheer each other on as they experience the thrill of martial arts. The smiles, laughter, and energy in the room say it all — it’s a birthday they’ll never forget.
Our experienced instructors lead every activity, keeping the party safe, organized, and engaging from start to finish. Parents love being able to relax and enjoy the celebration while we take care of the fun.
At Choe’s HapKiDo Cumming, we believe every birthday should inspire confidence and joy. That’s why our parties focus on teamwork, respect, and having a blast together. When it’s time to celebrate, we make sure your child feels like the star of the show — because they deserve it!
A True Martial Arts Family: Events, Celebrations & Community Spirit
Life at Choe’s HapKiDo Cumming extends far beyond the mats. We love celebrating milestones together — from belt promotions and championships to holiday parties, community drives, and special events that bring everyone together.
Every season, our school hosts exciting events that give students new goals and opportunities to grow. Our Martial Arts Championships showcase not just skill, but the teamwork and encouragement that define our family atmosphere.
We also give back — organizing local drives and participating in community causes that teach students about service and compassion. Our marital arts DoJang isn’t only about learning to kick and punch. With each class, we aim to become a stronger community.
What Training Feels Like
Every class at Choe’s HapKiDo Cumming is designed to challenge, encourage, and inspire. From the moment you step onto the mats, the energy is contagious — students greet each other with smiles and bows, the sound of focus pads snapping fills the room, and instructors lead warm-ups that get both the body and mind moving. Dynamic stretches, balance drills, and mobility exercises prepare everyone for the techniques ahead while setting a tone of focus and camaraderie.
As the class transitions into skills practice and self-defense drills, students learn precise kicks, blocks, and strikes, often paired with partners to practice safely and effectively. These exercises blend physical coordination with mental focus, helping students develop confidence, discipline, and resilience. Fun challenges, teamwork exercises, and obstacle drills keep the energy high, while laughter and encouragement remind everyone that growth is just as important as technique. Belts and stripes are earned through persistence and effort, making every milestone a moment of genuine pride.
The spirit of support is what truly makes training at Choe’s HapKiDo Cumming special. Instructors cheer every achievement, classmates celebrate each other’s progress, and students of all levels train side by side in a culture of respect and encouragement. Whether it’s your very first class or your hundredth, you’ll feel motivated, welcomed, and inspired to give your best. Every session leaves students stronger, more focused, and more confident — not just on the mats, but in everyday life.
