ATA Martial Arts Lakewood

We absolutely love Master Black’s ATA! I’ve been bringing my kids for years and liked it so much, I started training, too! Master Black and the instructors teach effective skills and techniques, with decades of experience behind them. They meet students where they are at to teach the skills required for each belt rank. They are also a competitive gym with group demo teams and frequent tournaments, allowing kids tons of opportunities to earn medals and titles. I absolutely recommend this gym for anyone, kids and adults, who want to become a taekwondo martial artist!

Taekwondo here has been life-changing for our daughter. She’s grown in confidence, learned respect and honor, and gained the ability to defend herself after a tough incident at school. I never imagined she’d love it this much or excel the way she has—we couldn’t be prouder! Master Black’s dedication and passion for her students is unmatched, and we’re so grateful for the impact she’s had on her life.

I am an intern at ATA Martial Arts and I am very proud of the training I am receiving here. The instructors, professors, and masters are absolutely fantastic. Thank you to everyone at ATA Martial arts who made me who I am today.

To think this all started with groupon! I am so thankful I found that Groupon. My Son has really grown because of the classes, instructors and his team mates. It's so amazing to see the older kids working along side the younger kids. It's very obvious that the older children have learned the pillars Master Black talks about each day. I have never met a more respectful group of kids. When I asked a fellow parent how she managed to teach those kind of manners, her response was "Master Black and Taekwondo." Her comment made me feel like I was doing something right as a parent, and as we all know those moments can be few and far between. You really become part of a family, a Taekwondo family. My son looks forward to the many activities offered here. He is already talking about the Halloween Party for this year, and really enjoys the summer camps. As a parent I feel very comfortable leaving my Son here for summer camps. Knowing the other kids learn Respect and partake in a bully prevention seminar makes me feel so at easy leaving him here with older and younger children. My Son was 5 years old for his first summer camp here. I remember he didn't get nervous until we got there, and he saw all of those big kids. One of the amazing leaders headed over with Master Black and quickly made him feel at easy. Master Black, the owner of this gym takes the time to get to know your child. She wants to hear about their other interests. She is invested in them, like they are her own. We have been lucky enough to have our FREE Birthday party here, which Master Black made sure was full of activities! We enjoy pot lucks and parties, if ever a fellow family is in need she is right there fundraising. Last weekend Master Black even took time out of her Saturday to come to see my Son play soccer. I am proud she is part of my team, and we hers. I have lots of LOVE for this place and hope to continue our Taekwondo journey. Thanks Master Black!!!

This is a great school! Chief Master Black, the owner of the school, is a great lady, super knowledgeable! All the instructors are very professional and explain all the forms very well! From little kids to older adults, the students are like a family! Very supportive to each other!!! I love my school 🤗
