// ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

Real Karate Training for Young Warriors

Purple Dragon ATL teaches Don Jitsu Ryu, a traditional karate system founded in 1970 by Grandmaster Professor Don Jacob. Children in our Conyers Dojo train within a complete system with a defined path of progression, and every belt is earned through skill, knowledge and character.

Our Dojo instructors are known for engaging our students and encouraging them to constantly strive to attain their full potential.

Children at Purple Dragon ATL gain more than just martial arts skills. They develop social skills, learn to set and achieve goals, and channel their energy in healthy, productive ways.

// HOW TRAINING BEGINS

Why Every Child Starts With a Private Assessment

Training at Purple Dragon ATL begins with a Private Assessment instead of a free class. It is a 30-minute, one-on-one evaluation with a qualified instructor. We look at your child’s readiness and goals, and you see firsthand how instruction works in our Dojo.

You leave with a clear recommendation: the right program, the right starting level and a training frequency that fits your child. It also gives your family and our instructors an honest answer to one question: is this the right Dojo for your child?

// CLASS TIMES

Class Schedule

Find the perfect class time for your young warrior.

How often should my child train?

Two days a week is enough to make real progress. Your membership sets a maximum, not a minimum. The “Up to 3x per week” plan at $135/month covers attending once, twice, or three times — there is no penalty for training fewer days, and most families start with two.

Classes run at the same times Monday through Friday, with an additional beginners class on Saturday. Simply choose the two days that work around school and other activities.

// QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What ages are best for the youth program?

Our youth programs begin at age 5. Tiny Tots serves ages 5–6 and Young Warriors serves ages 7–12. Students 13 and older train in our Teen program.

Do you accept children under 5?

Only as an exception, and only when we have availability. Our programs are built for ages 5 and up. On occasion we place a younger child in a smaller setting suited to their age, but this is not something we offer as a rule and it depends on instructor availability at the time. Schedule and pricing for these placements are arranged individually rather than set from our regular tuition. If you believe your child is ready, call us at (404) 834-3477 and we will tell you honestly whether it is a fit.

How often should my child train?

We recommend at least two to three sessions per week for consistent progress. Students who train more frequently become more consistent, stronger, and more focused. Memberships are available at up to 3x/week, up to 5x/week, and Unlimited — your instructor will recommend the right starting frequency during the assessment.

Do you offer trial classes?

We do not offer trial classes. Instead, every student begins with a $50 Private Assessment—a one-on-one evaluation that allows us to understand your child and place them in the right program. The assessment fee is credited toward your Warrior Starter Bundle when you enroll within 7 days.

Does my child need prior experience?

No prior experience is necessary. Our programs are designed to welcome complete beginners while also challenging students who have trained before. Every child starts where they are and progresses at their own pace.

What should my child wear to class?

For the assessment and first few classes, athletic wear that allows full range of motion is acceptable. Once enrolled, your child will receive their official Purple Dragon uniform as part of the Sign-Up Fee.

How does the belt ranking system work?

Students progress through colored belt ranks (white, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, red, brown, black) based on skill development, knowledge, and character. Gradings are overseen by Purple Dragon International with examinations conducted by Grandmaster Professor Don Jacob.

Is Don Jitsu Ryu the same as karate?

Don Jitsu Ryu is a traditional karate system. It combines striking with grappling and control, taught as practical self-defense rather than sport point-scoring.

Is martial arts safe for young children?

Yes. Our instructors are trained to teach age-appropriate techniques in a controlled environment. Safety is our priority—we focus on discipline, control, and proper form before any contact activities.

Ready to Begin?

Every young warrior starts with a private assessment. It’s the first step toward discipline, confidence, and real growth.
