More Than a Gym. A Community Built on Real Training.
Our Story
Impact Martial Arts was founded in Gallatin, TN by Righteous Stevenson — a lifelong martial artist who saw a gap in Sumner County: a school that combined serious technical instruction with a culture that truly welcomed everyone, regardless of age or experience. What started as a vision became a thriving academy where kids build real confidence, adults develop real self-defense skills, and families train together.
What We Teach
Kenpo Karate — A striking-based system that builds coordination, discipline, and mental focus. Ideal for kids and adults who want structured traditional training with modern application.
Krav Maga — Israel’s practical self-defense system, designed for real-world situations. Teens and adults learn to handle threats efficiently using instinctive movement and decisive action.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) — Ground-based grappling that teaches control, positioning, and submissions. Our No-Gi BJJ program is available for kids ages 6–12 and adults 13+. BJJ builds problem-solving under pressure and is one of the most effective self-defense arts in the world.
Who We Serve
We have programs for every age and stage: Tiny Warriors (ages 3–4), Little Warriors (ages 5–7), Kids Karate (ages 8–12), Kids Jiu-Jitsu (ages 6–12), Adult Krav Maga, and Adult BJJ. Beginners are welcome in every class. You do not need any prior experience to get started.
Why Families Choose Impact
Families drive from Hendersonville, Goodlettsville, Portland, White House, and across Sumner County to train at Impact because of our coaches, our culture, and our results. We’re not a franchise. We’re your neighbors — and we train like it matters, because to us it does.
