01 — Why this school exists
The courage I carry into the courtroom began on the mat.
I began martial arts at thirteen and earned my black belt at sixteen. Over more than twenty-five years, I have fought in over 500 matches. Today, at thirty-nine, the lessons are still with me: prepare completely, stay calm under pressure, protect people, and keep moving forward.
That discipline shaped every part of my life, including the courage it takes to stand up for people injured in car accidents. Team Karate Attorney is my way of passing those lessons forward to children, adults, and families in Marietta.
“The mat and the courtroom are connected. Both reveal who you are under pressure — and both give you the chance to become stronger.”
Ibrahim Awad — Founder, Team Karate Attorney
02 — The program
Three disciplines. One practical system.
Every class develops two things at once: a body that can respond and a mind that can remain composed. Technique matters. So do patience, judgment, resilience, and self-control.
