Potential for Exclusion

Overemphasis on Winning

Unique Curriculum

What Sets Us Apart

Our exclusive educational content developed specifically for our students

1

Learn Goal-Setting Skills

Belt testing provides an excellent physical and mental exercise for adults to improve their goal-setting skills. Your self-esteem will continue to rise with each accomplishment, as you watch your hard work pay off.

2

Improve Focus and Self-Control

Complex physical activities such as martial arts have proven to strengthen the brain's neural networks, helping adults improve their focus and reduce stress levels. This can be a great deterrent against depression and other mental health issues.

3

Build COURAGE

The excitement and sentiments you feel when sparring with a partner in front of your instructor and classmates are the same you feel when you are asked to give an important presentation at work, approach your boss for a promotion, or ask a potential partner on a date. Your confidence will reach new heights and you will realize you have what it takes to accomplish anything!

"ATA Excellence Martial Arts have amazing programs for all ages. The owners and instructors continue to go above and beyond for their students and parents of students. Every week they have new goals set for the students. Faith took her first class in December 2020 as a Tiny Tiger and has stuck with it since then. It’s given her confidence and the ability to meet other kids (she’s the only child). Also has given me self worth and confidence knowing my daughter knows how to defend herself if needed (world isn't always rainbows and sunshine). Also has taught my daughter to be kind to everyone and be more disciplined. The owners and instructors are great role models showing Faith as long as you apply yourself anything is possible."

"Enrolled our girls in karate about a month ago and they love it! They are learning so much and look forward to going. The instructors are very helpful in redirecting and explaining things for the kids to understand and they make it lots of fun. Mr. and Mrs. Hayden are an awesome help getting everything set up and answering all our questions!"

"We love ATA my son has grown so much in just a few weeks of classes. He is more respectful, and uses Yes Mama, and Yes Sir. This is an excellent place to learn about discipline and for your kiddos to get some extra energy out too. 😃"

"It's not just self defense. Your kids are taught life skills like honesty, discipline, respect, and self esteem. We tried other sports for my son and they all were a no go for him. But he thrives at Taekwondo here at ATA in Kendallville."

"Enrolling my child in ATA Excellence has been a great decision. Since starting, I’ve seen a big improvement in their confidence, focus, and listening skills. The instructors are patient and encouraging, and the structure of the classes has really helped my child stay engaged and motivated. It’s been wonderful to watch them grow both on and off the mat."
