Get Started
Consultation and Orientation
To find out if the American Black Belt Academy is right for you, call the school at 706-549-1671 and ask to make an appointment to meet with our Director and Head Instructor, Randy McElwee. Mr. McElwee will assess your goals, explain our programs in detail, and answer any questions you may have.
Trial Programs
If our program seems like it is going to be right for you, the next step would be to participate in a short-term trial program so you can "sample" our techniques and training methods. Mr. McElwee will recommend the type and duration of your trial program based on your particular needs. Most trial programs are one to four weeks in length and cost anywhere between $24.95 and $79.95.
First Lesson
To ensure a smooth and comfortable transition into the group class, your first lesson will be a private one-on-one class with one of our certified instructors where you will be introduced to the basic techniques used in class. (Depending on one's aptitude and ability, we may recommend further private classes - at no additional cost).
Enrollment Options
Upon completion of your trial program, we will discuss with you the various enrollment options that we offer. A variety of term agreements are available. Our fees are reasonable and compare well with other area schools. Tuition may vary depending upon the program(s) selected, current specials and discounts and the number of family members enrolling.
Thank you for your interest and we look forward to meeting you!
