About the dojo

Your path to a better life starts on the mat.

Abbotts Bridge Dojo has served Johns Creek since 2008 as part of The Dojo American Karate Centers family.

Our philosophy

Martial arts as a way of life.

Learning a martial art can be memorizing moves — but at Abbotts Bridge we teach much more. Every strike, throw and exercise is a practice in mindfulness: understanding your body, being one with the movement and fully present in the moment.

Over time, students learn to find that centeredness when they need it most. Life’s stresses become more manageable when you know how to find your center and trust that you have the mental tools to overcome the problem.

Leadership team

Meet your senseis

Expertly trained martial artists and experienced teachers who never stop learning — and who know how to adapt to the way each student learns.
