About Us | Karate school in Gainesville

WE KNOW HOW DIFFICULT AND CONFUSING
FINDING A MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL CAN BE.

We remember when we were children, feeling uncertainty about beginning martial arts. We wondered if we had what it took to succeed and we weren't the most athletic or confident children - quite the opposite. Little did we know that beginning our martial arts journey would be one of the most profound experiences of our lives!

When we opened our school in 2002, we made a commitment to serving and empowering the community of Gainesville by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts.

We Share & teach The Same Values You Teach At Home.

The Edge Martial Arts programs have a strong focus on personal development. The foundations of our morals, values and core character traits are formed in our early years. For this reason, the Edge Martial Arts program is an essential way to enhance the growth and personal development of young students of all ages.

TRADITIONAL MEETS MODERN: SELF DEFENSE & AWARENESS SKILLS FOR THE REAL WORLD

FUN, EXCITEMENT & PREPARATION: EDGE MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENTS!

One of the most fun parts of martial arts training is the ability to test your skills by competing in a tournament. Tournaments are not only fun for competitors, but they also become a great social experience for parents as well!

From sparring to forms to team demos, these awesome competitions are not only a place where our students can test their skills, but also a place where team spirit is built, fears are overcome, and character is developed. Most importantly, they are tons of fun!

One more reason you will love martial arts at American Martial Arts!

Our oldest was with them for five years and became a 2nd degree black belt. Loved Mr. and Mrs. Edge. We were away for two years and now we are back with our youngest who is loving learning and working out with them and hoping to follow in his big brother's footsteps. Great place!

Our son has been at Edge ATA for 10 years. Mr. & Mrs. Edge have helped make Will into the great young man he is today. They not only teach karate, but they teach respect, integrity, perseverance, etc which is so important. Thanks to Edge ATA, Will has a passion for karate and it is a major part of who he is. If you are looking for a karate school for your child, I definitely recommend Edge ATA.

We are fellow Instructors in the ATA with Mr. & Mrs. Edge. They are amazing people with great martial arts skills and even more amazing Instruction skills! You really should check them out if you are looking to help improve your child's self confidence (self belief) or self discipline (behavior)! The parents love getting in the best shape of their lives by training too! We are honored and blessed to be Mr. & Mrs. Edge's peers and friends.

Mr. and Mrs. Edge are two of the most amazing instructors you'll ever meet. Their talent is astounding - both are extremely gifted not only in martial arts but in leading students to become better in their skills, and better as human beings. This great talent is only matched by one thing: their love for everyone they work with. Their warmth and guidance are an inspiration to students of all ages, and we're grateful for all they do!

I took my son Brandon to other Karate schools before we found Edge. None of them had the passion like this place has. Brandon loves going here and I can see him having a future in Martial Arts thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Edge instilling the drive that he so desperately needed.
