Located in the heart of South Hill, Virginia, our founding location has provided self-defense and martial arts training to the local community for over 20 years.
Our newest dojo recently opened inside Body Beautiful Fitness Studio in wonderful Blackstone, Virginia. We offer the same traditional self-defense and disciple as our first school.
"Highly recommended. Great instructors that push the kids to learn and grow."

"I’m a former student of Mr. Johnson, as well [sic] as Mr Hawthorne. I trained with them as a teenager and continued to study the martial arts as I’ve traveled the world. The Southside Martial Arts Academy gives students the best quality instruction in martial arts as well [sic] as develops character to a level of excellence that is above average. This school is second to none, and I can personally vouch..... it’s one of the best schools in the United States..."
