If you’ve been thinking about signing your kids up for martial arts, do it here. My children have been attending Effingham Martial Arts since March 2025, and their growth has been amazing! The instructors are patient, motivating, and truly care about each child’s progress. We’ve seen huge improvements in focus, confidence, and discipline—not just in class but at home and school too. The energy here is so positive and family-oriented. If you’re looking for a program that builds strong character and real-life skills, this is absolutely the place to be!
Posted 10 months agoWe have enjoyed becoming a part of Effingham Martial Arts over the last few months. Since joining my son’s self-confidence has grown and he has gained a sense of accomplishment. He loves to show off his karate skills to anyone who will watch and calls his grandparents each week to tell them about what he has achieved.
Posted 1 year ago5 Stars – A Wonderful Experience! Effingham Martial Arts has been such a blessing to our family! Since enrolling my son, we've seen such a positive change in him. Not only is he more social and outgoing, but he's also become much more focused and attentive, both at home and in school. He knows that when we talk , we need to listen! The instructors and staffs are absolutely amazing—professional, patient, and incredibly good with the kids. They strike the perfect balance between discipline and fun, making every class something my son looks forward to. He especially loves the games and the friendly atmosphere. He loves doing his fighting stance now with Mr Jaden! Lol! I can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s more than just martial arts—it’s a supportive, encouraging environment that helps kids grow in confidence and character. Highly recommend! Thank you!

I cannot say enough good things about this school. Both of my kids have been coming here since December 2024, and they look forward to every class. They even tell their friends that they have karate and how much they love it. They are very engaged and are excited to go to every class. The instructors are very helpful, patient, keep things fun and interesting for the students. My kids are learning not only valuable skills of self defense, but are also learning discipline and important values. I am very happy, pleased, and grateful for the incredible instructors and the lessons they provide.

Amazing staff who truly care about their students. This is a wonderful place for children to learn and develop life skills. My daughter has grown so much from building confidence to learning manners and how to show respect to others. She loves going to class and is always a little sad one days without it.

Wow! My family is so excited about Americas Best Martial Arts finally coming to Effingham County. Ms. Heather and the rest of the instructors are absolutely amazing. My kids LOVE this karate program.
We have our boys in the 13 years plus class. So I can’t speak for other classes. Honest feedback for management consideration, 1) This class is usually managed or lead by 13/14 year olds - they do good, admirable for the most part. But would love to see more structure and alway present adult instructor oversight (misses very occasionally). 2) When paired up with unequally some sparring a or martial arts risk injury. Instructor oversight and guidance during this time is key. Will come back and update as my boys progress. My observations to be fair are only after 6 or so classes and will need an update as our time progress there. We were exited for this place opening up and hoping it’s going to be rewarding great experience to learn these life skills.
