Lee's ATA Martial Arts

My son has improved so much and he takes his tae kwon do so seriously now he is very high energy but listens very well to Mr. Franko which is hard to get him to do but the discipline from his martial arts classes has made this easier. He has improved so much for his age in hand eye coordination and communication skills. I’ve seen all the students evolve so much in the same skills the environment is friendly with a good touch of discipline Mr. Franko doesn’t play around when some one is out of line wich is good for them to be great in society when we as parents aren’t around overall I love these classes for my son and would totally recommend we have been coming for over a year now! And it’s gotten better over time

We’ve been really happy with Lee’s ATA Taekwondo in Tolleson. Right from the first class, the instructors made it welcoming and structured, and my daughter actually looks forward to going every time. The classes get the kids moving with fun, high-energy group drills that build strength, coordination, and stamina—it’s exercise that feels like play, not work. She’s picking up way more than kicks and punches: better listening, focus, respect for instructors and other kids, and some leadership skills where even the younger students lead small groups. It’s made her more attentive and polite overall. Plus, they throw in basic learning things like maths for points, L/R hand/foot practice, etc.. the little things add up. The biggest change we’ve seen is her attitude at home. The group setting teaches teamwork, effort, consequences, and staying positive. She’s more self-disciplined, handles challenges better, and there’s a happier vibe around the house—homework and listening are easier now. Way better than just a solo workout plan (psychiatrists push exercise for a reason, and this beats it hands down). The extra “Yes Sir’s and Ma’am’s” we get are nice too 😉. The instructors are patient, motivating, and really care about each kid. If you’re looking for something that builds strong bodies and stronger character—self-defense, confidence, all of it—Lee’s ATA Tolleson is worth it. We just signed her up for her first tournament and plan to stick with it long-term. (They’re always nudging me to join too… maybe one day 😂)

Im very happy with the classes my son has been taking here for the past two years for the last year we got a new instructor Mr. Franco he is amazing! The way he structures the cycles they learn something new every week. Im happy with the discipline and also special events they have for the kids to have fun. Also ms. Karen at the front desk is very informative and attentive always happy .

Absolutely love this environment! Mr.Franco and Mrs.Karen are great to my boys, been taking them for over a year now and i have only positive comments. They care very much for not only teaching but also accommodating when we get stuck. Highly recommend this ATA location.

My daughter started here back in late October. She’s learned so much since then. Love the people here starting from Mrs. K at the front desk whom is so helpful. Mr. Franco is one of the instructors there. He’s really good with the kids of all ages. Has a lot of knowledge of the kids forms of belts from white to black belts. I’d recommend this place to any parent. Not only is it teaching them about self defense but also life lessons and confidence to interact with other kids. Update 04/28/25 Wanna give a shout out to leadership program they have here. Especially Adrian Ledesma who helped my daughter win first place with Bo Staff form and Ethan Ledesma for helping her improve her Camo belt form!
