ATA Martial Arts - Riverdale

My family and I train here. Our appreciation to the team of instructors under the guidance of Master Nominee van Tonder and Ms. Cross. World class facilities, wonderful families and students and top-notch instruction through kind and caring instructors. We are fortunate to have guest instructors from international staff of Chief Masters and Grand Masters pop in from time to time from the HQ offices just upstairs!

ATA has been excellent for our son who is on the spectrum, has ADHD, and confidence issues. He is a different kid from where we started!

With Licensed ATA Locations around the globe, there are over 950 independently owned and operated licensed facilities. Licensees of the ATA have trained over one million students since ATA’s inception in 1969. Since that first class was taught many years ago, the focus of ATA International has remained the same: to provide students with the highest quality martial arts curriculum available in a fun and positive learning environment that people of all ages and abilities can enjoy. Each Instructor is the graduate of an intensive certification process that represents more than fifty years of ongoing curriculum research and development. Your Certified Instructor should be with you every step of the way to help you reach your current individual goals, as well as some new goals you never before thought possible!

My daughter has been going here for the past year and we could not be happier we made the decision for her to join. She has made wonderful strides in confidence, respect, control over her body, and listening at home. All of the instructors have been very helpful and communicative, and been more than willing to help her catch her up whenever she’s missed a class. 5/5 would recommend to any parent of a rambunctious little that could use a little structure, some exercise, and fun while getting both 👏

PLEASE READ!!!!! This program did not meet our expectations. With all the martial art programs available, this program definitely needs some improvement and STAFF! They are always running ads and dont have adequate staff to teach the children. Definitely a money pit!!! There are other places that are much cheaper that we attend and provide way better service! They seem nice to get you in but DO NOT TRUST it!
