Established in 1993, ETO Martial Arts & Fitness is a family-owned and operated business located in the heart of Downtown Kennesaw. Known for its blended-style martial arts program and fitness offerings for all ages and skill levels, ETO has become a trusted community partner. In addition to martial arts instruction, ETO provides self-defense training, CPR classes, team-building experiences and special event performances by The Storm Demonstration Team. A full pro shop is also available, offering fitness gear, branded apparel and recognition awards.

Rooted in the tradition of Tae Kwon Do—a Korean martial art dating back to the Koguryo dynasty—ETO’s curriculum blends techniques from Korean, Chinese, Japanese and American practices. The result is a dynamic, safe, and fun approach to martial arts and fitness that promotes personal growth and physical wellness.

ETO’s founder, Missan Edwards, brings over 40 years of experience in martial arts and fitness. A nationally certified aerobics instructor and decorated cardio kickboxing and aerobics champion, Missan has developed an innovative program that merges traditional martial arts with high-energy fitness principles. As a competitive martial artist and dedicated instructor, she believes in evolving beyond a single style to create a more well-rounded and adaptable practice for students of all backgrounds.
