The leadership at Hilliard ATA is one of the strongest I have been around in any setting. Master Blanks cares deeply about moulding/growing the students. It’s a family atmosphere. Hilliard ATA sets the bar.

Master Blanks is phenomenal - I attended a birthday party with many children and she made it fun and it inspires such great focus on self esteem and discipline

We have had a WONDERFUL experience here. My son is in the tigers class (4-6 year olds) and everyone (instructors and parents) are all so positive and supportive. My son has level 1 Autism and this school has been the single best thing we have done for his development. Master Blanks is a master kid-brain un-locker. The way she enunciates and the tone of her voice gets directly through to my son in a way no one else can. Most of all though, I TRUST her and all the instructors with my child and I love bringing him here to learn and grow. There are so many martial arts schools in the area, I’m so glad we went here first, you should definitely do the same!

Wonderful instructor who is 100% dedicated to seeing your child grow. She is AMAZING in keeping these kids focused and engaged and certainly tries to communicate with each family to help with development. Her classes (especially tigers ages 4-7) have been so popular and it’s clearly for a good reason!
