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.

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

I am a Black Belt here and oh my gosh are they great. Ive been here for 7 years, and they provide support if I dont understand something, and I probably would not have the respect, confidence, and courage if I never went here. If you are looking for your kid to take Karate classes I highly recommend going here. I guarantee theyll love it!

ATA West Chester is by far the most amazing martial arts studio ever. The instructors are next level amazing and each student is driven to be their best self through positive reinforcement. The kids not only learn great life skills but develop lifelong friendships. The Tiger Program for the littles is an incredible way to start a martial arts journey. We love our ATA family and everything they stand for!!!!

We started our oldest son before he stepped into kindergarten hoping to build his confidence and help overcome some his anxiousness on certain things. Fast forward and now he is thriving in the crazy situation we live in today with all the uncertainties of the pandemic as a confident second grader. We continued going into in person classes as we are comfortable at how the ATA school at West Chester handles and follow guidelines on keeping everyone safe and healthy. My only regret is that I myself haven’t joined sooner. Our 5 year old (second oldest son) and I just started our journey this year and are having a great time sharing the experience with our whole family. We love this ATA West Chester family!

Throughout the pandemic this place has given my kid focus and something to look forward to. They work so hard to keep kids safe, mask wearing and temperature taking. The instructors are kind and fun. They encourage and support in the most pleasant way. I would hands down recommend this place to anyone of any age or fitness level. They are so welcoming.

My son has been going to ATA in West Chester for over a month now. He was never a very active kid so I worried he wouldn’t like it. He enjoys going so much! After every class he tells me it’s hard work but he had fun. The black belts not only encourage and support their students but also help boost their self confidence! My son has shown more accountability at home and gets excited when he finishes his weekly check lists because he knows he has done a good job! We look forward to many more classes and belt promotions in the future!

We first enrolled our son into ATA not long after he turned 7. He was having difficulty with the raucous nature of sports at his age and we knew we needed a new option for him. But ATA is much more than just an athletic outlet. The instructors and Senior Master and Mrs. Master are amazing examples for the students as they focus on not only the body, but also the mind and spirit. We were quickly blown away with the discipline instilled in our son. So much so that, not only did we enroll our younger daughter in the Tigers (ages 4-6) program, but we made it a family affair with both my wife and I joining as well.As parents we are amazed at the instructors and how great of role models they are for our children. One amazing quality of ATA West Chester is how they not only instructors who have been doing martial arts for decades, but also Black Belt Leaders who are in high school or college and still run parts of the classes. I am regularly blown away by how composed and well trained the younger instructors are and exited for the example of what this opportunity could lead to for my children.The attention to each students particular skillset is what I really enjoy as both a parent and a student. Seeing an instructor offer TLC or more firm feedback when appropriate to my children while also having Senior Master Jouan personally challenge me to hit a target harder or more accurate is a unique and rewarding experience. Our entire family has encountered so much growth both as a group and individually.We are so very fortunate to have come across ATA West Chester. I cannot recommend them enough. The positivity is infectious.

My daughters and I have been involved in ATA West Chester for over 5 years and its been a great experience for all of us. Its one of the few sports you can do with your children.My 10 year old and I are on the cusp of getting our black belts and my youngest is in the kids tiger program.The confidence children gain from the program is noticeable. The instructors are very caring and want kids to succeed. As an adult its a terrific workout focusing on flexibility and body weight (low impact) fitness.We highly recommend it for any family looking to build confidence in their children and bond with them in a shared activity.

My daughter has been training with the best people, building confidence and working towards her goal of getting her black belt. I cannot not say enough great things about the staff, they are like family! If you are looking for a place for yourself or your child, you will not find a better place than ATA West Chester.

We were looking for a structured activity for my daughter to do outside of school, so we decided to give ATA a whirl. Wow! ATA is SO much more than an extracirricular activity and a good workout. When she started out, she was EXTREMELY shy. ATA has brought her out of her shell and she now has the confidence to speak up for herself and not be as much as a wallflower. It also teaches other life skills such as how to be diciplined, respectful, and how to remain safe and calm with regards to stranger danger. I was so impressed, that I decided to start training with her, and it has definitely created a bonding experience between us. I am so grateful we decided to take a leap and give ATA a try!

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 daughter has been attending ATA in West Chester for a couple years and I wish I had enrolled her sooner! The instructors really take them time to help each student in a way that helps them improve and build confidence. There’s a strong base of goal setting, but not every students goal is the same and that it honored. I also love that their training doesn’t end at the door of their school, they help the kids recognize where they can be leaders in their schools, families, and communities. I know the self confidence and strength she has built here will serve her not only in taekwondo but in her whole life. Thanks ATA!

Message written by: Charles D. Rogers. Ive done Tang Soo do for about 4-5 years. I like it here at ATA, the instructors are nice and everyone gets taught well with respect, confidence, and strength. I love it here I would recommend to go here. The place has good hours also. Great benefits at Taekwondo.

When I started at ATA martial arts I was made to feel at home right away. When things in my life got hard they help push me to do better and rise above it all. I still apply that mentality to my life today. Thank you for not only helping me out but for helping the younger generation do the same as they grow!!

My family has been training at ATA West Chester for over 7 years. This place is great not only for kids but also adults. During the time my son took classes at ATA West Chester, not only did he learn martial arts and self-defense, but he also learned respect, leadership skills, and being able to look someone in the eye and firmly shake their hand while introducing himself. ATA West Chester also provides students with bully prevention training. I started training to learn self-defense and to get exercise. If you told me 5 years ago that I would be a black belt and be competing nationally, I would have laughed. But that is exactly what happened. ATA West Chester encourages all students to have personal goals and to not only try their personal best but also to expand outside of their comfort zone to gain additional knowledge and experience. All the instructors at ATA West Chester are caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable. ATA West Chester has become my second home and I have made friendships that will last a lifetime.

If you’re thinking about having your child participate in ANY of the programs at ATA WC don’t hesitate - do it! Our children have gained awesome martial arts abilities, invaluable life skills, and great friendships under the instruction of top notch martial artists (and human beings). We love how the ATA program is so inclusive and what it does for self esteem building! It doesnt just produce super impressive martial artists, it helps grow good humans. All the stars.

Our son has grown in many positive ways since he was first welcomed into the ATA family over 10 years ago. He has made close friends, learned valuable life lessons, and become a skilled martial artist. ATA West Chester is a very special place.

I have been doing Taekwondo for 4 years and because of my experience with ATA martial arts, it has been amazing! My fitness has improved dramatically and the environment is so positive and respectful. The skills I have learned with ATA West Chester martial arts will stay with me lifelong!

My son started going to ATA 8 almost 9 years ago. It’s been amazing how much the the confidence and happiness has increased over the years because of ATA. I totally Recommend your kid try’s out ATA it will change your kids life for the better.

My son joined here 3 months before, ATA masters are wonderful, my son enjoying lot... I will strongly recommend !!!!

Our sons journey into taekwondo has been an amazing experience at West Chester ATA. Starting as a Tiger, hes on his way towards a black belt! And hes now in the Leadership program. Hes learned discipline and respect, and has gained confidence. Were super proud of him! We owe a ton of gratitude to the Jouans and all of the instructors.

Great place to learn and train with the greatest masters and instructors. Kids grow strength mentally and physically- Adults gain strength and mental toughness just to start.

My son started 4 years ago as a tiger. He has really learned a lot not just about martial arts but about life and techniques he can use in at home in areas such as respect and discipline or in school such as anti-bullying and self esteem. He has made so many friends and connections. He really enjoys doing Tae Kwon Do.

ATA West Chester has a dedicated group of enthusiastic leaders that genuinely care about the students they teach. Regardless of skill level, they meet your child where he or she is and help them continue to dig deep and use that “yes I can” attitude to explore the depths of his or her potential. The benefits of the ata community go far beyond just physical fitness as they instill in the student a well-rounded physical and mental health model. Discipline, integrity and a healthy attitude are paramount to the ata west Chester model. My child is proof positive of the benefits of the ata community and culture.

Such a great group of instructors, super friendly and have done so much to keep the tigers engaged and interested during the pandemic. Keep up the great work!!!

They are a great place to go for self defense, confidence an respect.I have been training for about 4+ years.every time I leave class I fell AWESOME!

My son is 12 years old and he has been doing Taekwondo for almost 3 years. On October 2020 we switched from the previous school to this one due to unforeseen circumstances. We love to be part of the family. The instructors are all excellent and always willing to answer all my questions. They helped us with the transition process and made us feel welcome from day one.My son loves to compete and they support him on that.Taekwondo helps my son with leadership and communication skills, to believe in himself, to respect everyone around him, to have a high self-esteem, to be honest and to have discipline. These are all real life skills that will benefit him forever. He has ADHD and used to be disorganized and distracted in school. We have seen the amazing improvement he had in school. All the teachers say that they wish all the other students were as respectful and disciplined as he is.Thank you Senior Master Jouan and all the other instructors for the time and effort to make sure that our kids not only become some of the best martial artists but also future leaders of our community.

We had enrolled our son at ATA just prior to the pandemic. At that time we thought it was a great program and our son really enjoyed it. We saw improvements in his discipline, strength, and balance. When the pandemic hit, we were unsure how the program would be effected. While all other activities were postponed or cancelled, ATA seamlessly adapted their program to an all virtual program within a week or so, which is a pretty impressive undertaking. Now that we are back to in person socially distanced classes we feel like we havent missed a step in his training. We have been blown away with ATAs ability to constantly adapt and improve their program.

Awesome coaches and supportive atmosphere to learn Tae Kwon Do.

My daughter went from tiger to black belt at this studio. They have always been wonderful. Supportive and encouraging. I can always tell when my daughter isnt going to class... She can be a little edgier, and slightly less respectful and disciplined. She has really blossomed at ATA West Chester... And it is a second family for her.

ATA West Chester is an incredible place to learn martial arts. It has truly become my second home. The instructors push me to be my best and have created a community that supports each other.

My son loves ATA. Even on days that hes not wanting to go once he is there he enjoys it so much. All the instructors there are super friendly and great teachers. ATA is a family

ATA Martial Arts has helped me gain confidence and respect throughout my years of training.

My daughter had her first Tiger class tonight. She was absolutely elated after class and couldn’t wait to get home and tell her dad all about it. She can be a little shy, but I think ATA’s program will help her gain confidence. We are excited for her to participate in a martial arts class that provides such a warm, welcoming, and fun environment where she feels safe in challenging herself. Thank you! Looking for to the next class!

We have been apart of the ATA family for almost three years and couldnt be more happy with our choice. Our son has learned so much about himself and teakundo. Cant recommend this place more.

ATA has already started to have such a positive impact on my 7 year old in the short time weve been going. He carries with him the yes I can and belief in myself attitude beyond classes. All of the instructors display incredible enthusiasm and encouragement, making it an all around very positive and supportive atmosphere.

My son has been going to ATA for over three years. We are very satisfied with the care and treatment my son receives. He has autism and has always been treated like every other person. There is a high level of integrity and respect everyone shows at this center.

Our son was in need of structure and discipline when ATA West Chester visited his elementary school. We decided to try something different and enroll him in Taewkondo. The relaxed, but well-organized training taught him the discipline we were looking for, as well as other qualities such as integrity, courage, and respect. Additionally, he has learned physical fitness, martial arts and even good nutritional habits that he will carry throughout his life. He has confidence to know he can defend himself if necessary, and has developed friendships with dozens of children he otherwise wouldnt know.ATA West Chester has become like family. I highly recommend it.

ATA is truly amazing for my kids. They have learned respect, communication, leadership skills, how to create achievable goals, and many other skills I find are lacking in many people today. The kids stay healthy and make healthy choices. Master and Mrs. Jouan are amazing, family-oriented people who are truly accepting and caring. I appreciate how diversity is supported at this Martial Arts Studio.

A wonderful place to train. Great people, great classes I cant say enough.

We enrolled our two boys in the Tiny Tigers program in January. Within a few months, we have watched each boy grow individually. Our oldest needed to build confidence while our youngest needed a bit more focus and self-awareness. Through whole-class instruction and individual attention, Master Jouan and Master Chewning have worked with the boys to achieve their individual goals. In addition to teaching the basic techniques of Taekwondo and self defense, the instructors emphasize the importance of respect for everyone. Classes are fast-paced, energetic, and definitely FUN!

We absolutely LOVE sending our son and he loves it too! Thank you!
