About Us

For 40 years the ATA 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 human being.

You see, this school stands for something far beyond the kick, the punch, and the throw.

We consider ourselves an integral part of the village that help parents instill valuable character traits, beliefs, and habits in their children, such as: self-discipline, the ability to stay calm under pressure, the appreciation of teachers, parents, and other mentors, and the value of proper diet, exercise, and education in a happy and fulfilling life.

For thousands 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 the spirit strong.

We teach a brand of self-defense that transcends our physical “art” -and includes the self-defense skills of kindness, empathy, community, and compassion.

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.

Welcome!
