// HOW IT WORKS
Your Path Into The Dojo
Enrollment at Purple Dragon ATL follows one clear path, and it begins the same way for every student: with a $50 Private Assessment — the first payment toward your enrollment.
Step 1: Request Your Assessment
Every student at Purple Dragon ATL begins with a $50 Private Assessment. This is not a trial class or a free sample. It is a scheduled, one-on-one professional evaluation, the same way training begins for every brother and sister in the Dojo.
What Happens
- Complete the short booking form on this page
- We confirm a private time on the schedule
- You tell us about your goals, or your child's, so we can prepare
Why We Start Here
- Training is individual, so the first session should be too
- No crowded intro classes, no guesswork
- You get real answers before making any commitment
Step 2: The Private Assessment
You meet one-on-one with a certified Purple Dragon ATL instructor on the mat for approximately 30 minutes. Parents are welcome and encouraged to observe the full session. This is where we learn about the student, and where you learn whether this Dojo is the right fit for your family.
What We Evaluate
- Coordination, balance, and physical readiness
- Focus, listening, and comfort in a structured environment
- Goals: discipline, confidence, fitness, or self-defense
What You Get
- A clear picture of how Don Jitsu Ryu training works
- Honest answers about expectations and progression
- A full tour of the Dojo and time to ask every question
Step 3: Your Training Recommendation
After the assessment, your instructor gives you a direct recommendation: the right program, the right class placement, and the training frequency that matches your goals. Every number is confirmed in writing, and there is no pressure to decide on the spot.
What We Cover
- Program placement: Youth, Teen, or Adult
- Recommended training frequency for real progress
- Your Warrior Starter Bundle, monthly tuition, and class schedule
How Frequency Works
- Up to 3x per week builds consistent progress
- More time on the mat means more repetition, more correction, and more opportunities to grow
- Your instructor recommends what fits your goals, not the most expensive option
Step 4: Training Begins
You step onto the mat as a student of Don Jitsu Ryu, part of a lineage founded in 1970 under Grandmaster Professor Don Jacob. From your first class, you train alongside brothers and sisters who show up consistently, because that is how progress is earned.
Your First Weeks
- Receive your uniform, included in the Warrior Starter Bundle
- Learn Dojo etiquette, structure, and fundamentals
- Settle into a consistent weekly training rhythm
What Progress Looks Like
- Progress is measured in months and years, not weeks
- Belts are earned through repetition and standards, never given
- Families partner with the Dojo, and consistency at home matters
The assessment is $50 per student, and it counts toward your enrollment. Enroll within 7 days and the Warrior Starter Bundle is only the $85 remainder per student. The bundle covers your uniform, registration, and everything needed to get started; monthly tuition begins alongside it.

BOOK YOUR PRIVATE ASSESSMENT
Your $50 assessment is a private evaluation with a certified instructor — not a trial class or sales pitch. It ensures you or your child starts with clarity, safety, and the right training path.
Booking note: Each assessment is reserved for one student. Families with multiple children should book separate, back-to-back time slots.
// COMMON QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED
WHY IS THERE A $50 ASSESSMENT FEE?
Every student at Purple Dragon ATL begins with a private, one-on-one evaluation. The $50 covers your instructor’s dedicated time, a professional readiness and skill screening, and a personalized placement recommendation. It is not a group trial — it is a professional evaluation. Your $50 also counts as the first payment toward enrollment: enroll within 7 days and you pay only the $85 remainder of the $135 Warrior Starter Bundle. Monthly tuition is separate and begins at enrollment.
DO I NEED ANY PRIOR EXPERIENCE?
No. The assessment is designed for complete beginners as well as students with prior martial arts training. Your instructor will evaluate you at your current level and recommend the right starting point, regardless of your background.
WHAT SHOULD I OR MY CHILD WEAR?
Comfortable athletic clothing — t-shirt, shorts or athletic pants. No jeans, no zippers, no jewelry. Training is done barefoot, so no special shoes are needed. If you enroll, your uniform is included in the Warrior Starter Bundle.
CAN I STAY AND WATCH MY CHILD'S ASSESSMENT?
Yes. Parents are welcome and encouraged to observe the full session. You will be able to see exactly how your child responds to instruction, how the instructor engages with them, and what training at the Dojo looks like up close.
DO YOU OFFER FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PRICING?
Yes, in two ways. Your total to begin — assessments plus the Warrior Starter Bundle — is priced by household size: $135 for one student, $225 for two, $315 for three, and $405 for four. Assessments are $50 per student and count toward those totals, so at enrollment within 7 days your family pays only the remainder plus each student’s first month of tuition. Monthly tuition carries a household discount: 10% off for two students, 15% for three, 20% for four, and 25% for five. Your exact household rates are confirmed in writing at your assessment.
