I have been in ATA for 7 years and it has been so fun. I learned how to defend myself and a lot of cool moves. It has also been so fun at ATA. I learned about life skills like how to be healthy and how to be kind. I made a lot of friends on the way too. 5 STARS

This program is excellent inside and out. From a young age my son struggled with anxiety. He started the program at age 4 and has grown so much physically, mentally and emotionally. I have seen an amazing difference in my child’s ability to cope. I cannot praise the instructors and staff enough. If you are interested in the program you should definitely give it a try.

We’ve only been doing classes a couple weeks but already notice more respect and discipline at home and more confidence from our son. So far we love our experience!!

This program has been a game changer for our family. Since we chose to homeschool our children, they needed something to help them socialize and grow with other kids. This program has done that and so much more. Between regular classes, leadership and legacy, our kids have gained the self-confidence to be black belt leaders for sure!

This is a great place for anyone who wants to learn Taekwondo. Kids to adults, it's great for both, and the instructors do a great job with adjusting their teaching to different ages. I would recommend that if you're thinking about learning Taekwondo to check this place out.

Sr.Master Hayden and both Mrs.Hayden’s have been amazing in helping us learn. My girls ages 4 and 10 are always looking forward to class . In the short time since they’ve joined, I can see confidence and self esteem improving. This is the only activity they do that I don’t have to beg them to get ready. They love it. The delayed gratification between testing and graduation has been extremely helpful in learning to wait.

ATA of Kendallville is great. They have helped my son with self confidence and focusing. This is big for me because he has ADHD. I don’t like him being on medication because of side effects. This has helped with with that. 5 years(almost 6 years) later he is still with it and will be testing for his 2nd degree black belt. He has developed friendships along the way that will last a life time. The staff is great and everyone is very friendly.

Hands down the best thing we’ve put our son in by far! Not only does Taekwondo teach discipline, respect, communication and belief, it’s guiding our child to become a leader. To have a voice, to be confident, to set goal & ways to achieve them goals. The staff is just not teaching, they genuinely care about your child’s success!

I had my kids in karate when they were younger. I hated the place I took them. This place is great!! The instructor and everyone are so nice and helpful with students. I go with my grandson is 7. He explains everything to these kids, respect, self esteem, listening and so many other things. He explains when and where it is appropriate to use their skills. This is one thing I really thought was great. Not all places teach the kids this. The black belts are so good with the younger students. Very impressed with them they explain what they are doing and when to be quiet to listen to instructions. I recommend this place. ❤💙❤

Mr. Hayden does a great job running the business. I hope for the best for him and his wife keeping the business running. Mr. Hayden is a wonderful instructor. He doesn't yell at the students or there parents. Like most places do . The classes are fun but its hard work to do remembering what you did in class . Its worth it to come take a class.

There are so many great things about ATA Excellence. My kids have learned a great deal about Honesty, Self-Esteem, Respect, Communication, Belief, and Discipline. They've also learned Defense, Self-Control, Respect, and Confidence. They get a chance to meet other kids outside of school and family. It's a great family friendly establishment and i would recommend it for all!

Awesome instructors, great atmosphere, students and staff are extremely friendly. You can try it for a low price to see if you like it, and continue or just stop going. No harm no foul.

There is nothing that gives you more confidence in yourself than achieving your goals, and this place, staff, students, and friends is where goals are forged. Master Hayden and is crafted team of instructors are simply the best.

This is a great place for entire families to learn martial arts. But, it's not just about taekwondo, but also about teaching the fundamentals of ethics and morals, communication, self worth, and hard work. It's not just a school, it becomes a family.

Owner and instructors are great role models for the students. They not only teach tae kwon do, but important life skills. We are happy we found them.

Instructors and staff push students to better themselves by teaching leadership skills, physical fitness, and overall respect. These programs are just as valuable to adults as they are to children. As a young adult I have gained the self-confidence I've been missing. My instructors have also encouraged me to improve my health and set new goals for myself everyday. The friendships I have made through ATA Excellence Martial Arts are one of a kind and dear to my heart!

Excellence is all that I can say about Hayden's ATA. Everything is approached with integrity and with the highest amount of respect possible. The atmosphere is wholesome and the environment is extramural clean. We home school and it has proven to be the best investment not only of our time and money but also in my child. Her self confidence and leadership have grown more than I could have ever imagined. Mr. Hayden and his staff are just amazing in their individual personalities but also in their knowledge and dedication to the students. Awesome job, Keep up the good work.
