STUDENT REVIEWS

"ATA Excellence Martial Arts have amazing programs for all ages. The owners and instructors continue to go above and beyond for their students and parents of students. Every week they have new goals set for the students. Faith took her first class in December 2020 as a Tiny Tiger and has stuck with it since then. It’s given her confidence and the ability to meet other kids (she’s the only child). Also has given me self worth and confidence knowing my daughter knows how to defend herself if needed (world isn't always rainbows and sunshine). Also has taught my daughter to be kind to everyone and be more disciplined. The owners and instructors are great role models showing Faith as long as you apply yourself anything is possible."

"Enrolled our girls in karate about a month ago and they love it! They are learning so much and look forward to going. The instructors are very helpful in redirecting and explaining things for the kids to understand and they make it lots of fun. Mr. and Mrs. Hayden are an awesome help getting everything set up and answering all our questions!"

"We love ATA my son has grown so much in just a few weeks of classes. He is more respectful, and uses Yes Mama, and Yes Sir. This is an excellent place to learn about discipline and for your kiddos to get some extra energy out too. 😃"

"We have both of our daughters enrolled in class, and they love it! They have became more confident and respectful since starting classes. Mr and Mrs Hayden as well as the staff and helpers have all been extremely helpful and friendly!"

"It's not just self defense. Your kids are taught life skills like honesty, discipline, respect, and self esteem. We tried other sports for my son and they all were a no go for him. But he thrives at Taekwondo here at ATA in Kendallville."

"Enrolling my child in ATA Excellence has been a great decision. Since starting, I’ve seen a big improvement in their confidence, focus, and listening skills. The instructors are patient and encouraging, and the structure of the classes has really helped my child stay engaged and motivated. It’s been wonderful to watch them grow both on and off the mat."

"We have been with ATA Excellence Kendallville for a year and a half and it has been absolutely AMAZING! My son started out with 2 classes a week in the basic class and has since progressed to advanced classes, is a Leadership student who assists Sr. Master Hayden with teaching classes and most recently joined color belt team uncommon! He's gained so much confidence and I cannot be more glad that we joined this program. Highly recommend"

"Absolutely excellent teaching and skill building. The staff truly care and want the best for everyone involved. I could not more highly recommend this school, and I appreciate the growth I’ve seen from my child."

"We’ve only been doing classes a couple weeks but already notice more respect and discipline at home and more confidence from our son. So far we love our experience!!"

"After only a couple of classes, we noticed a difference in my son's ability to listen and follow instructions. Now it has been a few months, and we are still seeing a lot of improvement in other areas! I definitely recommend classes with Senior Master Hayden. He's very patient with the little ones! My son LOVES going to class!"
