ATA Black Belt Academy

If you are looking for an activity to put your kids in or even something to try for yourself, then I would recommend ATA Black Belt Academy. Not only do the kids have fun and grow in skills like agility, strength, and endurance, but they also learn fundamental life skills. Whether you’re an adult or a child, you can benefit from learning to master Respect, Courtesy, Perseverance, Self-​Control, Loyalty and many other awesome character traits. Definitely take the time to check out this program! Amazing place!

We have been with studio for at least 5 years and we are still here. It’s a lot of money to keep my sons in this type of sport but what kept us going… Its Because of the Life skills that the school teaches and of course the Instructors. Ms. Kerry Jiroch has been a big part of my sons lives. As a parents when another parent or teachers approaches us and tell us about how polite, kind and friendly our kids are, it gives us a feeling of happiness and pride. And this will not be possible without our dear Teacher Kerry and her staff.
We have seen this studio grow and improved every year and what we appreciate about those years is when I have some concern, comments or anything I can think of, Ms Kerry always makes it a point to talk to me.
All the instructors are approachable and are always helpful and will help the kids as much as they can. I would say this studio has become our second Home. and we have met a lot of wonderful families and friends throughout the years. I would entrust my sons to all these amazing people because I know they are in good hands and also at the same time I know that they will treat my sons as their own.

Unethical business practices– This place is like taking your child to a cattle call! There are way too many kids to get any kind of actual training in the Tiny Tots program which we participated in. We were told they would work with our schedule because our son is only with us half the time and his mother the other half. After we were signed up they changed the scheduling so it would no longer work and were not nearly as «flexible» as they advertised. After we saw what the studio was like and how it was abslutely not what our son was interested in we realized we were tied into a year long contract with HEFTY cancellation fee– $ 199 even with 30 day written notice. Interestingly enough, we were not sent home with a copy of this contract. They have that copy. The one we have, and the one in the 2 packets we have from them says nothing about that in the cancelation portion of the literature. It is unfortunate because when our son was able to get the little attention the good, young and enthusiastic instructors were able to give it was nice. There are also many volunteer instructors which are actually students doing much of the «training». Would never sign my child up here again.
