This place is Awesome!Classes for adults, youth, or private lessons. I feel stronger and more prepared for lifes challenges after every class. Youre really missing it if you dont come and join in.

The Edge Academy is great because Guru McCleary is great. He has invented a system that weaves together all aspects of fighting into a single art, and he embodies that art completely. He is an expert, an authority in the field, and you get to learn directly from him. He runs every class, and makes a point to circulate to every student during the class so they can feel each technique at its truest level.If you want a YMCA Kickboxing class set to techno music, this is not for you.If you want a rigid set of pretty forms, or showy flips, or look-how-high-I-can-kick, also not for you.But if you want a deep dive into martial arts where you surface able to survive a fight in the dark night of reality no matter what comes your way, then this is your place.

I have studied with Maha Guru McCleary since 2004 and still have my mind blown each and every class! I spent years trying out different martial arts schools and styles and was never satisfied until I found The Edge. This is authentic, real-world self-defense training unlike anything youve seen before. Try one class with us and youll be convinced!

Serbatik is amazing. Guru Mcclary is one of the most brilliant martial artists in the knoxville area. Besides teaching applicable martial arts for self protection, Serbatik gives a thorough mental and spiritual knowledge that can be utilized through out life for youth and adults. Ive been part of the family for about a year now and can say personally youll find no better experience for studying the arts.

Guru McCleary is the best martial arts instructor that I have ever had. His knowledge and ability to train is truely undpsurpassed. I feel honored to have been his student and retain all that I was shown. You will be happy that you chose this school!
