North Metro Martial Arts

Welcome to North Metro Martial Arts, home to some #kickinkids and the Kicking For Kids Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to providing a fun, safe, and engaging outlet for children with special needs, those who are homeless, or families that are facing financial hardships. The foundation also supports several programs that offer opportunities for its students to develop life skills and pro-social behavior.

Listen as the Tasker family talks about how they’ve been able to serve the children of Smyrna while keeping them safe!

November 4th, 2017 North Metro Martial Arts Foundation Hosts Its 3rd Annual Fundraiser

Every fall our students break 1,500 boards to raise $15,000 for our foundation and a partnering nonprofit who has a similar mission to our own, children.  The annual Board Break-A-Thon helps our students translate the values of martial arts to becoming leaders within their community. This year we partnered with Lekotek, by purchasing educational toys that helped children with disabilities be able to better interact with their community.
