About the Academy
About Us
G1 Martial Arts began in a humble Dalton garage, founded by Larry Chasteen—a fifth-degree Taekwondo black belt and lifelong martial artist. Over forty years of diverse training across Muay Thai in Thailand and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Dallas power G1’s approach, blending discipline, authentic technique, and family values. Today, G1 empowers nearly 150 students of all ages and experience levels with expert instruction, a focus on safety, and a belief that every student deserves to become their most confident, capable self.
