Learn Martial Arts in Forest Hill, Bel Air, Edgewood, Aberdeen, & Rosedale Maryland

ATA at the Edgewood location is a great program. My son loves it. Mr. Miller and all of the staff are so good with the kids! I have seen a big difference in my son. He has special needs. Karate teaches discipline, he's improved in school, and works a lot on his speech and language. His therapist is very impressed with his progress. This program isn't just a sport, it translates into home life as well.

My 2 little girls have only been with ATA a little less than 2 months, and in that short period of time, they've already gained so much! Confidence, discipline, the list could go on and on. Something that my oldest has struggled with since being diagnosed with ADHD, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD. Every single instructor there and helpers are absolutely wonderful, so patient and kind and very willing to help in ANY way they can! My daughters' biggest role model is Mr. Santiago and Miss. Pepper. With tears rolling down my face I can sit and write paragraphs about this program and how amazing it is, but I cannot thank you guys enough and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for both my girls in this program!

Our 5 year old son started at ATA in January without any prior martial arts classes and he loves it! He looks forward to going to every session and apparently talks about it at school all the time. They have a great program for the younger kids to develop their skills in listening, disciplinary, focusing, etc. which prepares them for taking more complicated instruction later on. The membership cost is reasonable and is money well spent towards something constructive that we anticipate will see him stick with for a long time.

We started our 3 kids and ourselves about 3 months ago, each for their own distinct reason. I have watched my kids grow in confidence and self control in that short amount of time, and know that it will continue. The Franks and their staff are wonderful instructors and people, reaching everyone in their own space. We have grown into this community, and I foresee us remaining part of it for years to come. The kids are participating in their first tournament today, of their own insistence. For one, her confidence was shaky at best when she started at ATA. Today she is excited, and prepared. The ATA team should be proud of their ability to reach and guide their students.

When my son started at ATA about 5 months ago I had no idea what we were getting into. Not only have I watched my son gain confidence and self-awareness, but he is also now a part of the ATA family. He looks forward to earning each stripe and setting goals. He works hard when he isn’t able to get something right and I watch this perseverance transfer over into his schoolwork every day. He struggled with focus and sitting still but I’ve seen such a big improvement with this and I know ATAs teaching has a lot to do with it. Their teachers truly care about the success of their students. We can’t wait to see what he can do next. Watching your child love something that they put their whole body and mind into is the greatest gift a parent can receive.

Great program for all ages! My three children attend and I have seen such a transition in their confidence and academics. They provide a positive yet structured approach when training and it really works! My children are motivated and excited to go to class each day they train. They look forward to earning their next belt and enjoy the challenges set forth by the instructors. The afterschool program has been great for my two younger children. I know they are in a safe and caring environment that also sets expectations for them to complete their homework. I’m so thankful to have found such a great program!

We signed Connor up looking for ways to help him focus and to give him something special to him. He is thriving. We have seen such a change already in the few months he's been here. He's more confident and focused, and his coordination has improved tremendously. We sincerely love this place, for their wonderfully fun and friendly atmosphere, and for the great teachers and interns. They are respectful to him, regardless of his age, and that's pretty wonderful to a 6 year old...and his parents! Thank you!

We can’t sing enough praises about classes here. Our child struggled to find something that he consistently wanted to attend. He LOVES going every week. It’s never a fight. The program for younger children really motivates them and keeps them interested. Our sons' confidence and voice has blossomed in the 6 months we have been attending. The way they work the program gives you so much flexibility to make it work with your schedule too. The instructors are all students who have worked their way up which is a huge bonus. It lets my son see how all their hard work has paid off. They are patient and incredibly kind. I highly highly recommend classes here!

My family and I love ATA Martial Arts! I have 3 children that are enrolled in the Edgewood location and they all love it! My oldest, a 13 year old boy who wasn’t interested in participating before I signed him up because he wanted to play video games all day. After his first class, he fell in love with the program! This is a fun but educational environment for them to learn Martial Arts, as well as life long tools. I am extremely impressed with the attentiveness each student is given by the instructors. Mrs Frank is an amazing instructor and holds her other instructors to the same standard. Enrolling my children at ATA Martial Arts was a great investment. I would highly recommend them!

I'm extremely impressed with the instruction my son is receiving at ATA Martial Arts of MD - Bel Air! The instructors are skillful, patient, and have a great rapport with the students. Along with the superior martial arts training, ATA focuses on character development as well, instilling fundamental core values - respect, protection, accountability, responsibility, leadership, and lifelong learning! Ms. Knowles is always encouraging and my son has responded, unlike any other sport he's tried. I fully expect him to become a black belt! Thanks for your dedication ATA!

My son loves ATA. He attends the Edgewood location for the after school program and martial arts. This is so convenient for us because he gets after school care and extracurricular activities all in one! The staff is very respectful and polite! Thank you Mr. Miller for being a great instructor for my son! If you're looking to get your child in an extracurricular activity I would definitely recommend this program for your little karate kid.

We love Forest Hill ATA! Mrs. O'Leary is absolutely amazing and has caused major transformation in my son. He has gained more confidence, discipline and concentration. He has even improved in school. All of these improvements are a result of regular classes in Forest Hill with Mrs. O'Leary. We are grateful for finding her and this school. I would highly recommend ATA in Forest Hill to every parent.

Mrs. O'Leary and her team of instructors are second to none. My daughter has thrived under her teaching. ATA is hands down the best program out there for martial arts.
