KATMA Defense: Kombative Academy of Traditional Martial Arts

"Guro George is an excellent teacher for children and adults. He is very patient with his students, loves questions, and explains things thoroughly. I can't recommend KATMA Defense enough if you're looking to learn martial arts or self defense techniques."

"George is great with the kids (young & old!) He positively encourages his students to do well both at class and in life. You couldn't ask for a better instructor. Can't wait to get "back to normal" at my job so we can start attending classes again! If you aren't part of Mr. George's group, you're missing out! Get to class, y'all!"

"KATMA Defense is a great place to learn traditional martial arts. I've been training with George, going on 3 year's and I love it. I suggest if you live in the Savannah area, please check him out. I have relocated and still try to train with George and the new students every time I'm in the Savannah area."

"We utilized KATMA for a self-defense and crisis de-escalation training session for staff members working in the apartment housing industry. George gave us techniques that are applicable on the job site as well as out in our private lives. I told my staff I hope they never have to use George's training, but should an unpleasant circumstance arrive, I trust we will all be ready."

"Meeting Mr. Freeman, the instructor/owner, was an absolute pleasure. First, he was very communicative with my interest request through the website. His response was welcoming and inquisitive about my goals and interest in martial arts. He invited me to stop by to look in on a class. His studio is very clean and welcoming upon entering. Mr. Freeman was very kind in introducing himself, explaining the different types of programs he offers and how his teaching style worked. He is very passionate about what he teaches and wants each student to reach their goals. He is very interested in orienting the program to everyone's individual needs. Upon watching him and another student, who recently started, I observed how quickly she learned different moves and defensive poses under his guidance. While he will challenge you to continue to get better, he is exceedingly patient and will not push you beyond your level until you are more than comfortable and prepared. A wonderful place to grow and obtain your goals. I'm glad I joined."
