Saving... Saving... Please Wait... Sending...For years Hayden's ATA in Kendallville has been coaching people, of all ages, in the process of learning and practicing the martial arts as a tool for learning and practicing the art of being a more complete, proactive, and empowered leader in today's world.
You see, this school stands for something far beyond kicking and punching.
We consider ourselves an integral part of the village that help parents instill valuable character traits, leadership skills, and habits in their children, such as: self-discipline, respect, goal setting, and the concept of striving for excellence.
For hundreds of adults and young-adults, we have been -and continue to be -a place to refuel, recharge, and remember the value of keeping one's body fit, to keep the mind focused, and continual improvement.
You are cordially invited to visit and/or be a part of this school; that is, if you are looking for something fun and extraordinarily engaging, interesting, and life-enhancing.
We are masters of making it easy to get started. We are experts at making the learning fun and exciting. And we are committed to being role models of honesty, customer service, and good old fashioned value.
I recommend them 200% they are so good with my daughter they talk about focus and respect and everything in between. My daughter loves it so much she had her birthday party there this past Sunday!! All the kids invited now are asking to have theirs there too! They are truly awesome! Love them!

As the parent of an ATA student, I appreciate that the school welcomes and encourages parental involvement. The ATA plays a big role in our son’s everyday successes, and will help him develop into a confident and respectful teen and adult.

This is a great school for young and old alike. It teaches survival skills, and it teaches kids community involvement by encouraging kids to be active participants in community needs.

Love it!! I found Hayden's ATA when I was trying to find an after school activity that would help my daughter. I checked into several things but when we went and met with Mr. Hayden we found that from what he was telling us Karate would help with a lot of my daughters issues in school. After a month of Karate we were seeing a huge improvement in my daughter. Her teacher at school was even commenting on how much her focus had improved. At home we also noticed that she was learning to control her emotions so much better!!
Thank you for everything you have done to help with my child's positive upbringing. I am certain my son's life has been positively affected for the better, and will continue to do so all because of the teachings of Hayden's ATA.
I wish to thank you and all your staff…The superior martial arts instruction, professionalism, and terrific role models you provide for all of your students are certainly hallmarks of your academy.

Thanks for all that you do for the kids. Your class is so rewarding and clearly teaches leadership in the kids. Thank you again!
Right away, you should know that not all martial arts schools are created equal. Different schools not only teach different systems of martial arts, but the teaching methods, class size, experience of instructors and general feel of the class can vary dramatically from one school to the next. It's important that you, as a parent, make the most informed choice possible when selecting a school for your child.
When researching a potential martial arts school for yourself, make sure that when you actually visit the school to meet the teachers and students, you pay attention to the attitude of everyone there.
A good martial arts teacher will have a profound impact on the growth of your child. Make sure you choose a school with teachers that you feel confident will be a positive role-model for your child.
