My 4 year old grandson took a 6 week introductory course with the Tiger group and I can't say enough good things about the program. The facility is top notch and the teachers were great with the kids and did a wonderful job of combining fun with discipline. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for this type of activity for any age child

This group is terrific for our son and our whole family. Great facility, excellent leadership, and really high quality team members with an impressive ratio of kids to instructors. We knew nothing of kids karate and ATA and the team there has shown us how impactful their instruction can be. Check it out!

I have 4 boys in the program and a 5th starting January. I started basic as a way to be with my boys more and have something we do together. Mr and Mrs Shank are awesome to work with. The other instructors, Mr Graffits, Miss Koppar and Mr Roy (when he's with our class) are also amazing. And my oldest two sons are always in awe and amazement of Mr Fosters butterfly kick and always talk about how they want do be that good. I can't recommend ATA Chesterfield enough. It's great for children or entire families. (There are some instructors I don't really work with but I'm sure they're awesome too!)

We have been members of ATA for about 2 months now. We absolutely love it! All of the instructors are great people, very friendly and truly care about every kid in the classes. Our kids weren't "heathens" to begin with, but in 2 months they have become even more respectful. Most of all they have become more confident in themselves and their abilities. They want to go to ATA every day!

Come to a class and see for yourself why we all love this place,the instructors and students. I hear it from others how well mannered, respectful and confident my son is. When you meet the instructors who have been with Master Shank for a while you will be surprised how young they are. They are ATA strong.

We enrolled our son to keep him busy but to also learn about respect and self defense when it comes to being bullied. To learn to defend himself in the correct/respectful manner. Little did we know that this has changed him in more ways than one. We went to his parent teacher conference and his teacher said she has seen such improvements in our son since he started ATA. We are so glad we did this for our son. We love it and can’t wait to continue on this journey.

Awesome place to learn good discipline for kids, self defense for the entire family, increase confidence and prevent bullying in children.
