"We allowed our daughter Jordan to join ATA after spending an hour doing different drills.  She enjoyed every minute of it.  During the next few training sessions, we saw a lot of improvement in her confidence level and enthusiasm.  We were very impressed with the added bonus of the "Bullying" curriculum.  We hope to stay with ATA for a long time"
Elaine Iaos  (Parent)


"The bullying program gives the kids a name for action, they see and sometimes do.  It also plants the seed for how to deal with the situations in real life.  Overall the whole experience has been very positive for Jerod."
John Boucher  (Parent)

"I think the program is great.  The lessons of techniques are very helpful & good to know.  Learning the self defense moves is excellent for my child & is something I want him to know & learn more of.  The classes have not only been informational for myself & child but also fun at the same time.  We enjoy comming & learning more & more.  The staff is a great team to work with  & can't wait to learn more every time.  Also teaching my child respect, talking out issues & building up his self-esteem is another great reason we come."
Liza Suazo  (Parent)

"It made me feel confident because I didn't feel fear or scariness because I knew that if I use the solutions that we use in the bully program I would be OK.  So when I see a friend being bullied or me I know what to do like;  ignoring them, staying away from them so I wont get picked on."
