Started taking my son here a few weeks ago. He loves it and the staff is great with working with small children who lose focus quickly. They just did a renovation and name change, I wish them the best and look forward to enrolling my next kid here

Our son started in May and they are amazing! Of course, during the free class he was not feeling it. He cried and cried. They didn’t give up. They allowed us to try it again. The next class he cried for the first half and then he went in. Still very hesitant but he was in the door. From that point on, he has been very excited about coming. He has his days where he is a little more busy than others but they still are super patient with him and the other children. It is kind of pricey, but dad and I think it’s worth it considering how awesome they are with the kids and the content that he is learning. I would recommend this place to anyone!

My son has the privilege to train and compete at Pickerington ATA Black Belt Academy both locally and nationally. It is clear from the moment you enter their academy that they provide high quality, family friendly training both for the recreational students or students that want to compete at the highest levels. The experience of the instructors are second to none and I highly recommend Pickerington ATA to anyone looking to train in martial arts!

Great place for kids. My son has been going here since he was three years old. The staff have been awesome and extremely helpful. The price is decent about $100 a month and we go three times a week. The classes have helped with my kids confidence and he is exhausted after every one he attends. Right now they are in the middle of a huge remodel so things are a little dusty but so far the new look is great. The bad is parking this lot doesn't have enough parking for some classes this is pretty much the only down fall. If you go don't park in front of Suburban Fireplace and Patio the owner will come out and yell at you.
