Our daughter, Taylor, started training at ATA Martial Arts at age 7 after attending a Girl Scout Stranger Danger workshop. Taylor is about to turn 21 and is a college junior. She is a black collar instructor and will test for her 4th degree black belt. ATA has helped Taylor to develop self confidence and leadership skills which have helped her to excel in all areas of her life. Taylor has also made terrific friends and we have formed lasting friendships as well. We are very grateful to ATA West Chester and are proud to be part of the ATA family!

We are so happy with ATA. The ongoing rewards and skill development keep our 5 year old engaged and inspired. We love that he sees positive role models every lesson. The facility is clean and the app makes keeping track of lessons easy. We tried other sports and activities and we’re so happy we found ATA. Don’t hesitate to give it a try!

My daughter convinced me to try tkd right before the pandemic. It was difficult not being in person but ATA WC went above and beyond all expectations to make it easy for students to stick with the program, especially new students like I was at that time. Now 3 years later and I am looking forward to joining my daughter in black belt class this summer! The instructors and students are what makes this place great; it really has become a second home for my family :)

I have to admit that this one of the best places for kids to learn martial arts. My kids have been going to this place for the last 8 years.The reason why this place stands out is the passion and encouragement that the instructors brings to each class. They not only teach the skill but moreimportantly help shape the personality of the students. Love this place.

My name is Kylo and I have been at ATA since I was a Little Tiger. I now have my orange belt. I’m working really hard to get my black belt. Being at ATA is so fun and the instructors always help me learn my combinations. If you are thinking about trying karate or want to learn about self-defense, come join me at ATA West Chester!

My 11 year old daughter started just about a year ago at ATA. Very soon after I decided to join the fun! I couldn’t just sit and watch anymore, I wanted to be part of the team. The instructors are amazing with both the kids and adults! They teach discipline and respect and watching the kids shine has been amazing. A few months after I joined my other 2 daughters also joined. (They are 8&4). Everyone has been so warm and welcoming and it really feels like a big family. If you have been thinking of giving ATA a try, go for it!! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

We have been a West Chester ATA family for 3 years. It has been an excellent experience. The beauty is that we can train as a family. It is myself (Mom) and three children, all in the same class. We learn self-confidence, grit, goal setting, self-control, discipline. We learn cool kicks, tricks and working with weapons. We test what we are learning in class and at tournaments, through sparring and showing what we know. "Our goal is black belt, Ma'am!"

ATA West Chester has incredible instructors and creates an amazing atmosphere for kids and adults alike. My son started in Tigers last September and he already shows better focus and self confidence! I would highly recommend ATA West Chester to anyone!

Our son joined your program late May, 2021. Since this time he has grown to love his instructors and his classes at ATA. I had a meeting with his team of teachers this past Friday. All of the teachers, many who have had known our son over the past two years, shared how amazed they were at the transformation they saw in him. They collectively reported that our son seemed to walk taller, was more confident, was able to manage classroom expectations such as remembering tasks and attending to lessons much easier. I have to give credit to all of you at ATA. Thank you for building my child up! Giving him the skills and confidence he needs to perform well in school and feel proud of himself.We are so grateful to our ATA family.

Excellent taekwondo studio. My son is 5 and they are so positive, encouraging, professional, and experienced in instructing. I can’t express how incredible they are. My son is so engaged and listens which also carries over to his positive attitude at home. This definitely helps with an active, energetic child getting him to focus and listen to instructions. 100% recommend.

Martial Arts is SO MUCH MORE then kicking and punching. ATA West Chester is THE BEST when it comes to instilling Respect, Confidence, Communication, Leadership skills, and the list goes on. The instructors are AMAZING people with fun personalities, strong martial arts skills, and even stronger leadership skills. They work wonderfully with young children, adolescents, and adults (we have one of each from our family training at ATA).Some of the things that set them apart from some of the other gyms out there:- Monthly payments that cover all classes and all belt promotions (no surprise costs every few weeks)- Huge discounts if you have more than 2 family members join- Disciplined leaders follow all safety and cleaning guidelines even during ever-changing Corona expectations- Opportunities for additional fun camps and activities - including some free family friendly events throughout the year- Opportunities for all levels to compete in Regional and National tournaments (but not required until Black Belt level)- Opportunities for extra Leadership Experiences and TrainingWe joined ATA because my (then 7-year-old) son REALLY wanted to learn karate and we had heard some great things about ATA. We have been thoroughly impressed and my sometimes unfocused kid is now a SECOND DEGREE Black Belt and has learned SO MUCH MORE than how to kick and spar. Now my husband is a First Degree Black Belt too and my younger son is working his way through the ranks :-)We Love ATA! Our Family is ATA Strong!

My son is doing Karate for the last 4 years and he loves going to karate. He wants to become a Black Belt Leader. We are so proud to watch him grow from a little Tiger to Leadership. It helps him build Self Confidence, Respect, Develop Communication and take better decisions when faced with difficult situations. We are so glad that we made the right decision to put him in ATA
