    Absolutely thrilled with my daughter's experience in the Karate for Kids class! The instructors are not only skilled but incredibly patient and encouraging. Her confidence has soared, and she's not only learning martial arts but also valuable life skills. Grateful for the positive impact this class has had on her overall development.

    My son has been attending classes here for about two years and he loves it. The principles they teach and instill in the kids are invaluable. Mr and Mrs Buckingham really strive to teach the kids karate but also discipline. My sons confidence level has improved immensely since we have been stationed here while attending their classes. He was really worried about making new friends and losing the sports he was involved in at our last base. I highly recommend giving them a try.

    My son has been in a Karate class here for over a year. I have seen an amazing change in him since, he has always been well behaved but his confidence has grown substantially. The teachers Mr. and Mrs. Buckingham give the class both a profession feel with a family aspect that I don’t believe could be achieved by another Martial Arts environment. They have always been so great with the kids, both kind and continuously teaching discipline. Along with preparing my son for more advanced classes they have encouraged positive growth in other parts of his life as well. Including reading, vocabulary, confidence, memorization, self control, respect along with so much more. This five stars is an easy five stars to give. I am so happy we have chosen ATA and will start our daughter as soon as she is ready.

    My grandkids started over a year ago. They had so much fun that I joined them. As the "oldest student" in the class I have learned a lot. The Buckinghams are great instructors with both the kids and us old folk.

    Both my son and daughter started karate last year when they were 4 and 7. Their favorite parts have been learning new skills, growing stronger, and learning how to use Ssahng Jeol Bongs.

    Our daughter loves Mr. and Mrs. B! They display exceptional skill in balancing discipline and fun, creating an engaging environment. The focus on character development alongside physical training is commendable. My daughter has not only improved her martial arts techniques but also gained valuable life skills. The supportive and encouraging atmosphere makes this class an outstanding choice for young learners.

    My son LOVES going to taekwando with Mr. and Mrs. B. Not only do they do a great job at this, they also teach respect, integrity, and so much more. I would definitely recommend going here.

    My kids and I are enjoying the classes since Agust and were loving it! We have improved our self defense skills and my favorite part is the chore tracking sheets that keep the kids organized at home and their actually doing the chores!

    The best decision we’ve made in many years is to join our kids and do Taekwondo together as a family. The Buckingham’s are an amazing couple. They show so much care and respect for everyone there. They are very kind but firm. We have grown closer as a family and grown in self-respect, respect for others, self-control and perseverance.

    I am very thankful for the Buckingham’s knowledge of self defense. Our whole family goes and does this together. My kids love it and are gaining more and more confidence in their skills.
