My son has taken classes with this school since he was 4 years old. He is now a black belt at almost 10 years old! He has matured the last few years with Mr Ball, and I have seen more focus and discipline in my son that would not have been possible without the classes here.

After having watched my son participate in American Canyon ATA for about 8 months, I decided that it was time for me to try the adult class. The decision to step out on the floor the first time was one of the best decisions I've made for my own personal growth and health! Was I nervous to try? YES! However, I have never regretted becoming involved. I have found a community of like-minded individuals who all want to be challenged, who work hard to be better today than they were yesterday, and who support and encourage every other student in class, from the beginner to the most experienced student. The school's owner and chief instructor, Mr. Ball, brings an unmatched enthusiasm and energy to every class which challenges, encourages and motivates participants to pursue their goals not only in class, but in life. If you are looking for a place to belong, where you will work hard, have fun, and see huge personal benefit across many areas of your life, then look no further than American Canyon ATA Martial Arts. read more
