About Us
Richmond Hill Karate
Focused on student success
Clay and Debra Pierson founded their first martial arts program over 25 years ago in a small trailer in Brooklet, GA. What started then as a small way to give back to the community has now grown into an organization that services multiple cities in Coastal Georgia. While the scenery and size may have changed over the years, one thing that hasn't changed is our focus on giving back to the community by creating an environment where students can succeed. Come train under our world-class instructors and see what martial arts has to offer you!
Don't just take our word for it!
Here's what our students have to say



My son has been attending classes for the past 2 years, and the positive changes I've seen in him are remarkable. Master Daniel has a true gift for working with children. He and his team are very patient, encouraging, and have an incredible ability to make learning fun while still maintaining a disciplined and respectful environment. They teach not only the physical techniques of karate but also instills important life lessons about perseverance, respect, and self-control.
What impresses me most is the instructor's passion for martial arts and their genuine care for all of the students. They take the time to get to know each child individually, understanding their unique strengths and challenges. All of the instructors are fantastic role models, and my son appreciates them as a whole.
Richmond Hill Karate has a wonderful, family-like atmosphere. The instructors are all top-notch, and they create a supportive community where students feel comfortable and motivated to do their best.
If you're looking for karate instructors who are not only skilled martial artists but also phenomenal teachers and mentors, I wholeheartedly recommend Master Daniel and Team at Richmond Hill Karate.

Master Daniel is very thorough and makes sure she understands each technique, taking extra time when needed to work with her one-on-one. That individual attention has made such a difference in her progress and comfort level. He has a great balance in his teaching style. He maintains strong structure and high expectations while still being supportive, approachable, and encouraging. The kids respect him, and they know he genuinely cares about their success.
Not only has my daughter improved in her karate skills, but her confidence in herself has grown tremendously, both on and off the mat. I am so grateful for the positive influence he has had in her life and highly recommend his instruction to any family.
