Ralph Macchio “star” of the original Karate Kid movie and inspiration to Corey Green to take up martial arts when he was 7 years old.

Welcome to Green’s karate. We are centrally located in Chattanooga in East Ridge Tennessee. We are across the street from the Honda Powersports complex next to the Christian book store on Ringgold Road at 5319 Ringgold Road Suite G.

Martial Arts as Mentorship. Discipline as Preparation for Life

Green’s Karate is not a mass-enrollment martial arts school. We work with a small number of committed students to develop discipline, confidence, and long term success. – on and off the mat.

If you are looking for a once a week activity, this is not the right place. If you are looking for real instruction and real growth, welcome.

What Makes Green’s Karate Different

Most programs focus on Volume. We focus on relationships. Green’s Karate is built on:

  • Consistency and accounability
  • Instructor student mentorship
  • High Standards with Individual Attention
  • Long-term development, not short term results.

From fewer than a dozen teen students over the past four years, our instruction has helped develop two Valedictorians from exclusive private high schools, alongside athletes with special needs and wheelchair athletes competing at the world level.

This doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through structure, trust, and commitment.

Karate for Everyone
