This ATA marital arts classes are really works well for my two kids who are 10 and 4 years old. They are progressing and following the master’s words and guidances. They looks more confident while comparing the 1st session to 6th session now. I would strongly recommend for the kids listening skills and of course physical activities. Thanks.
I recommend ATA, classes have helped my kid develop from someone who was scared of interacting with other kids to someone who's more social and who won't need us to be around that much, the staff has been great with my kid and have always had the patience to explain the forms and movements as many times as needed. Overall I'd say it's a great place to help kids develop and learn respect, discipline and a way to defend themselves.
ATA Martial Arts is the best thing that ever happened to me. From almost joining another dojo to being only a few belts away from my black belt, ATA has only ever benefited me. I have made connections that can never be severed, even by the sharpest of swords. ATA has helped me grow exceptionally as a person, and also as a martial artist, teaching me lifelong lessons that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I hold my instructors and my friends to the highest of levels. From the bottom of my heart, if you are a new family looking to enroll
someone or yourself into ATA, I would higly reccomend it.
We absolutely love it here. We started started last year and my son grew in such a short time. We experienced problems with discipline and ATA helped enstill that things are earned, not given. I saw a change. We had to take a short break but we are back. My son begged to come back during the break. He’s so happy to be here!
If you're a parent looking for an enriching and empowering activity for your child, look no further!
From the moment we stepped into the studio, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm. The instructors here are truly exceptional, not only in their martial arts expertise but also in their dedication to each student's growth. They create a positive and nurturing environment where kids feel supported and encouraged to push their limits.
The curriculum is comprehensive and well-structured, focusing on building physical strength, coordination, and agility. But it doesn't stop there. The studio also places great emphasis on character development, teaching important values like respect, discipline, and perseverance. These lessons extend beyond the mat and positively impact every aspect of a child's life.
Safety is a top priority at this studio. The instructors are meticulous in ensuring that each child is practicing in a safe and controlled environment. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with state-of-the-art equipment.
What truly sets this studio apart is the sense of community it fosters. The camaraderie among the students is remarkable. They support and motivate each other, creating strong friendships. The studio also organizes events and competitions that further strengthen the bond among students and families.
In conclusion, this martial arts studio is the perfect choice for parents seeking a transformative experience for their children. The dedicated instructors, comprehensive curriculum, emphasis on safety, and strong sense of community make it an exceptional place for kids to thrive.
I would wholeheartedly recommend ATA to anyone interested in the blend of life skills and practical taekwondo techniques. My daughter has been enrolled for nearly a year, and it's been truly inspiring to witness her development within the group. ATA goes beyond just teaching taekwondo; they instill valuable life lessons and emphasize the importance of maintaining a black belt mentality in all aspects of life. The staff and fellow parents have been incredibly supportive and welcoming. Being part of this community has been an excellent decision, and I would choose it every time. Thank you.
Watched grandson doing his trial membership. Instructor seemed to strike good balance as far as discipline versus normal behavior in this age group.
Edit: He has been attending for some time and absolutely loves it. Recommended.
My 6 year has started here and he is going to be trained very well. The facility is big and spotless and the staff and instructors are excellent and the children are very comfortable in this enviornment. Highly recommended!
We love this place. My son has learnt a lot and about self discipline and belief at the class. Master B is the most amazing teacher i could have asked for my son. he makes the class fun, lively and informative. Thank you.
The classes are engaging and enjoyable, Senior Master B does an amazing job making the lessons fun and informative for all ages. I look forward to what the next class will bring ☺️
Absolutely the best thing we have done for our Daughter! Master McCraine and Miss Duncan are OUTSTANDING at what they do. They are truly helping shape my Daughters life in an amazing way!!!
Great facility and great staff. My son was student there for 5 years and earn 2nd degree black belt. However he had to stop since we moved out of the place. My son is in college now still he miss that school and their staff specially Mr O'Conor always. Wish they open a branch in our location.
Am so impressed of how my great granddaughter Aspyn Marsh has progressed in her training. The instructors and Master O'Conner are fantastic in their teaching the children.
My Grandson loves going to ATA, he is always talking about what he learned and his instructors. The discipline that he has learned really shows. We highly recommend this for anyone considering joining.
My niece Aspyn Marsh goes to ATA and has just blossomed! Her self confidence has grown so much and she's made great friends while doing it! She is always showing me her new skills! ATA is so organized and all of their students love to be there!
My grandson goes to ATA in Bentonville. The instructors are patient and knowledgeable and good with kids. Master O'Connor and his staff are really nice. I like how they teach children life lessons each class.
This has been a great experience for our whole family, our son loves to be at class, the instructors are awesome. Not only do they teach discipline and respect but they do it in a fun way that keeps his attention and helps with his attitude
2nd day & absolutely loving it! I really recommend this place to any parent looking to get your kids in a great program that will not only teach them to defend themselves, but that teaches them respect, confidence, kindness, and to be future leaders! I can't say enough great things about ATA Martial Arts of Bentonville and the staff & teachers! They make it fun to learn! I can't wait to see what great things my boys will do here!
My granddaughter loves ATA! Since she has been attending the classes at ATA she has become more confident and outgoing. She is also exhibiting self discipline and leadership skills!
Our 4 kids have been taking classes for about a year and it is a great experience everytime they go. They do 3 classes a week usually. Just recently I began taking classes myself and it is a blast. Good chance to work with other adults, work out a little frustration, and get in a great work out. Love this place.
Amazing staff and structure. Aspyn strives to be an instructor one day and I believe her dreams will come true with the help from teachers at ATA. Thank you helping her!
Great group of instructors at ATA Bentonville! They teach the kids the fundamentals of martial arts as well as respect for peers & adults! My son still enjoys coming every week! Working on our 2nd degree bb!
We tried many sports for our daughter over the years. She did not like ANY of them! We wanted to make sure she stayed active for physical fitness when a friend suggested ATA Bentonville. Master O'Conner made her feel welcome right away. 2 years later she is still active at ATA and loving it. Master O'Conner and his instructors are WONDERFUL! The emphasis on self respect and the principles of being a good person are such a foundation of this program. I could not be happier that my daughter has found her sport and a real interest in achieving and meeting goals. We feel fortunate to have Master O'Conner here in Bentonville.
Thank you Master O'Connor for all that you and your coaches do for our kids. My grandson Chance has had so much fun learning martial arts. He has become more confident and also become stronger. Again THANK YOU AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
Love Love Love ATA Bentonville. All of the instructors are amazing. This has been the best experience for our son. He absolutely loves it. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
My daughter enjoys coming to class. Master O’Connor and all the staff do an excellent job teaching the kids not only taekwondo but also leadership and life skills
Great instructors, fantastic staff, top quality facility. Lots of fun for kids and adults. If you even think you would like to be part of a martial art you owe it to yourself to check them out.
This place is my #1 favorite place to go. I learned the most important life skills from this martial art. It has changed me in many ways like the following: made me more confident (I am now able to present in front of crowds), I am now Disciplined (I now workout and I am in shape),I am more social (I make more friends), and many more ways!
From five stars to one... In a year. I am taking my son out, as it is not a Martial Arts studio anymore. It became a commercial platform, and the instructor set the wrong role model. Four years of hard work, but it's time to protect my son's young soul from this place!
My nephew has been attending this martial arts coaching center, and I cannot emphasize enough how utterly disappointing and infuriating his experience has been with their latest coach. From the very first session with this new coach, it was clear that they had no idea what they were doing. Their lack of knowledge and experience was painfully obvious, and it made every class a complete waste of time.
The belt progression system is an absolute joke. There is no clear structure or criteria for advancing to the next belt. It felt like the coach was just making it up as they went along. Instead of providing proper training and guidance, they seemed more interested in collecting fees and stringing students along without any real progress.
The overall environment of the coaching center was equally terrible. The facilities were poorly maintained, and there was a complete lack of professionalism and organization. It was clear that the management didn't care about providing a quality experience for their students.
In summary, if you're looking for a martial arts coaching center that will help you or your loved ones grow and progress, avoid this place at all costs. The latest coach is utterly incompetent, the belt progression system is a mess, and the overall experience is nothing short of a nightmare. Save your time, money, and sanity and find a better place to train.
I am deeply disappointed with Bentonville ATA. My son went for about 2 years to classes, after new master joins we started seeing gaps in training and graduation process.They added multiple stripes in between to get graduated and did not communicate the new process of graduation. The new management is arrogant and rude to the parents and students. They continued to take ANOTHER CLASS PAYMENT out of my account. No response from them, no respect, nothing but stealing money from us. We will have to file a claim with our bank now that they did this. Very unprofessional and straight out shady. Do not sign up at this business! You will be locked in forever and they will still steal from you.
Racial , Bad and arrogant instructors. Looting money by adding more stripes and avoiding stripes before belt testing. Communication is horrible and rude management. They only care about making money and not about the children’s success, growth, and overall happiness. Wouldn’t recommend. Classes are way too large to help every individual child as they need. I would strongly recommend the company reevaluate who they have left in charge of their leadership for this location. Poor quality. I dont want to give even 1 star.
My sister have been taking her kids here and it has turned into nothing but a literal money grab. No actual training and belt progression, even when they are actually deserving of the belt progression! Stay away at all costs
Communication is horrible within the new management. They only care about making money and not about the children’s success, growth, and overall happiness. Wouldn’t recommend. Classes are way too large to help every individual child as they need. I would strongly recommend the company reevaluate who they have left in charge of their leadership for this location. Poor quality.
I am deeply disappointed in this business. We went for about 4 months to classes and once school started for my 5 YO it was becoming too much for her and we didn’t have the extra room in our finances to just dish out $200/month for something our daughter didn’t have the energy to do. We contacted them directly 4 times and were ignored. Then today, they continued to take ANOTHER CLASS PAYMENT out of my account. No response from them, no respect, nothing but stealing money from us. We will have to file a claim with our bank now that they did this. Very unprofessional and straight out shady. Do not sign up at this business! You will be locked in forever and they will still steal from you.
Class is ok... But the owner always use kids emotions to market his business... Every day my kid will be sad that he didn't earn stuff becoz he couldn't find a friend to take in the class...
