“My daughter is in her 3rd year with North Hills ATA and I cannot say enough good things about the program. She started as a Tiger where she learned the basics and what it means to be dedicate to her commitments. Even on the days when she’d rather play outside than go to class, she would put on her uniform and give it her best. A few months ago she advanced to Karate for kids. The first class was a bit of a culture shock as it became clear she was going to have to work even harder to achieve her goals. The path from Camo Recommended to Camo Decided was an adjustment. She needed to be more dedicated than before, work harder, and practice without instruction using videos at home to memorize her forms. I watched her face the disappointment of leaving class without that third stripe, and watched her sit quietly working through those feelings. She knew that her stripes weren’t going to be given to her, she had to earn them. She practiced and practiced, taking over the living room as we watched Master Wilson do Songahm 5 200 times. Her next class she was called to do her forms and nailed it. The pride she had in her achievement is more than I can ever ask for as a parent. She worked hard for what she wanted and she achieved her goals, receiving her Camo Belt Recommended last night. The North Hills ATA team teaches discipline with kindness. Their tactics and mission are consistent with every instructor. The focus is not solely on the development their taekwondo abilities, but who these kids are going to be when they grow up. My daughter has built immense confidence, learned the value of hard work, and that dedication leads to success. For that, I am eternally grateful.“

“This is an awesome gym community with a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Classes are different every time, offer a challenging workout, and can be modified for anyone's unique needs or restraints. All of the trainers/instructors are helpful and down to earth. I highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“The best place to train martial arts. Love the people here, training is great both for adults and kids. Very high level judo all around.“

“????? 5-Star Review

ATA Martial Arts gets a royal Crowned by the Queendom stamp from us! ?✨

My daughter, Nubia of Nubia’s Queendom, had an amazing experience here. The instructors were so patient, encouraging, and truly passionate about helping kids grow in confidence, discipline, and focus. They made Nubia feel like a star from the moment she stepped on the mat!

The classes are fun, structured, and full of strong values that we love to highlight in her homeschool journey. You can really tell they care about every student’s progress and mindset — not just the moves.

As part of our collaboration, ATA delivered an incredible environment for filming content and capturing Nubia’s learning in action. She left feeling empowered, supported, and excited to come back.

If you’re looking for a martial arts school that blends skill, positivity, and real community, ATA Martial Arts is truly top tier. Highly recommended! ???“

It's great if you want your children to learn self defense. It's also amazing to get your child in line and to learn manners! I heavily recommend this place for you or your child!“

“My grandson started at Nam’s a year ago, watching him improve has been so great. Master Nam’s is fun while still being serious, the best combination of traditional martial arts and character building.“

“Black Hawk Martial Arts is a great place to train, work on your fitness, develop excellent relationships and just have fun while sweating it out. The instructors (Master Ron and Ray) have a great understanding of each student's personal needs and abilities and are willing to work within those limitations. They teach traditional martial arts, but show us how to use it, if needed, in a modern day application.For youths, I have watched them gain confidence in themselves while learning discipline, focus, and respect. For the adults, including myself, we have learned more focus, strength, and confidence.Black Hawk Martial Arts is a great place for individuals or families to learn and have fun at the same time.“

“I've been studying at the Yoseikan dojo for four years and have 20 years of martial arts experience. Sensei Valentino's instruction is excellent. He understands karate very deeply and doesn't hold anything back. His classes focus on effective fighting applications and progressive skill development.“

“The instructors here are truly the best... they care about each child and teach them discipline while still having fun.“

“I took self-defense/strength training classes here and it was very empowering. Walt teaches with honesty, respect, and decades of knowledge. He cares about improving the lives of his students, and makes learning new skills really fun. I'm truly grateful that I took a chance on something that was outside my comfort zone and got to have this life-changing experience!“
