Great family business.

My son has been a student at Geist Martial Arts for two years now and it's been wonderful for him. The instructors are great--fun, but firm--and he has learned a lot that I know will benefit him in all aspects of his life.

I can't say enough great things about Geist Martial Arts. The dojo is always clean and organized, and the staff is incredibly professional and welcoming. No long term contracts & free trial classes. Mr. & Mrs. Byrd, along with all the instructors have a deep understanding of the techniques and are able to explain the science and details in a meaningful way. Whether your goal is fitness, self-defense, or achieving a black belt, they provide expert guidance and an encouraging atmosphere that pushes you to be your best without egos. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-quality martial arts experience!

Upon a suggestion from a friend, who's daughter goes to Geist Marial Arts Academy, we decided to give it a try with our then 7 year son who happens to be on the autism spectrum. We did not know how he would take to Taekwondo or how the instructors would handle him. Our fears quickly went away after a couple of try out classes. We really respect and enjoy how the Byrd's (and the other instructors) handle the students of various ages and skills levels in each class with group lessons and spending individual time with students. Not only are they teaching the skills of martial arts, but they are building social skills, behavior skills, learning skills, and general life skills. It is truly a family affair at the academy. The dojo mantra are not just words on a wall. We could not be more pleased with how the first six months have gone and our son has really taken to the sport (surprisingly even the sparring) and rising through the belt levels. I cannot recommend GMA enough.
