This is an incredibly approachable Dojo. Brandon is an effective teacher, and the family of students is incredibly supportive and patient with a complete greenhorn like me. As a 40-year-old who hasn't practiced any martial arts since he was a teen, this has been a great way to get back on the saddle and challenge myself to grow. I couldn't recommend this school more.

I trained at Dojo Arts in Charlotte from January through April of this year, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment I walked in—feeling self‑conscious about my weight—to my very first class, Brandon, Randy, Cody, and Kim made me feel totally welcome. They know their stuff inside and out, teaching everything with patience, clarity, and genuine enthusiasm. What I love most is how down‑to‑earth everyone is. No egos, no “tough‑guy” attitudes—just supportive instructors who tailor guidance to your level. Whether you’re learning kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu, or a bit of both, you’ll leave every session feeling stronger, more confident, and proud of the progress you’re making. If you’re in Charlotte and curious about martial arts, do yourself a favor and give Dojo Arts a try. It’s hands‑down the best place I’ve found to learn new fighting styles in a friendly, inclusive environment.
