Mrs. Parker and the rest of the teachers at ATA Black Belt Academy - Fortville are the best. They are patient and find different ways to teach different learners. ATA Taekwondo isn't just for kids; I am an adult participating in martial arts for the first time, and this school has been very supportive as I figured out how to do the moves. Thank you.

We highly recommend Fortville ATA! Our 11 year old son, Logan, joined 14 months ago and loves it. He has gained confidence, improved coordination, and made positive peer connections. We were looking for an individual sport where kids can grow at their own pace. ATA has a perfect progression ladder built through belt certifications for kids to focus and feel successful with short term goals. He has tested up 5 belt colors and medaled in both outside tournaments (optional). Master Parker and her amazing team are so committed to teaching their students not only Taekwondo but important life lessons about self-discipline, commitment, respect, and goal setting. This is such a positive community that work together to support their peers in outside competitions and in class activities. We are grateful we found ATA.

I couldn’t be more happy that we found ATA. My daughter is in third grade in the Mt Vernon school district. We needed after school care options since my husband and I work until 5pm. They provide transportation when school is dismissed. The after school program is much more disciplined than others. Time is set for all students to get their homework done and read books. Not only is it an after school care solution, but it also incorporates martial arts. My daughter is almost a black belt and is taught values such as discipline, honesty and respect. They also provide a solution for child care on E learning days and holidays that the kids have no school. Summer camp is great and the kids stay active with field trips, games and martial arts! I definitely would recommend this place!
