At 52 AOD we are passionate about changing the narrative around violence and creating a safe space for our youth to learn how to defend themselves. Our founding members are dedicated to curbing the violence in the greater Atlanta area through teaching the art of defense. Our founder Lyte Burly has been studying martial arts for over 30 years and our co- founder is a master numerologist and has over 10 years of martial arts experience. Our secretary is a mediator, paralegal & trainer with a direct link to the youth. Together, our trio has found a way to bridge the gap between martial arts and the youth of our community.
