My wife and I were immersed in Segals ATA through our Granddaughters, both of whom became black belts. When Senior Master Segal announced a new program called "Senior Strong", devoted to adults over 60, we became members. The program stresses flexibility, balance, and mental acuity through martial arts. I can't stress enough how much this program has improved our mental and physical health. Senior Master has a talent for making the experience enjoyable and fun. He encourages the students to participate at their own pace. His very capable associate, 5th degree black belt Mr. Lansing, also adds his expertise to the program when needed. Don't let your age hold you back, it's never too late to start.

I am so impressed with this program. My six year old son has been going the last few months and his confidence and focus have already improved. The first priority is to have fun, and they certainly have a lot of fun. I cannot say enough great things about the instructors, they are so great with kids and while having fun are concurrently teaching respect and important life skills to the kids. There are a lot of girls in the class which is awesome and if I had a girl I would for sure have her try it out. I am so glad I stumbled upon them. They let you try it free for the first couple weeks without obligation, I highly recommend giving it a try. read more

This is an excellent Taekwondo Martial Arts School for all ages! My daughter started here 6 years ago and now is a second degree black belt at age 15. This school and it's instructors are dedicated to helping kids develop their self-confidence, discipline among many other life skills. They not only focus on teaching kids valuable physical skills, such as self-defense, but also focus on the total individual. They cover life skills such as perseverance, integrity, goal setting, among others. They also value education and reward kids for good report cards and improvement in school and at home. But, this is not only a martial arts school for kids - adults are also welcome and in fact, encouraged. Many of the adult students are parents of kids who started classes first. I myself am one of those - having gotten my black belt at age 52. And I'm a woman! It's a great workout and I am in the best shape of my life.The classes keep you engaged, you learn valuable skills and the people attending are fun to work out with. It's definitely not intimidating and everyone is welcome. There are a variety of class times available and they make it easy for working adults and kids with busy schedules to fit in their workouts. The instructors are patient, helpful and very friendly. Overall, I would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in getting more fit, giving kids a positive outlet and for just having fun! read more

The Segal's are fantastic, and the program is great for building confidence, strength, and discipline!

My girls have been taking classes here for just over one year and we've had a fantastic experience. Master Segal and Mr. Lansing are incredible, supportive, and motivating teachers. The program focuses on core life skills such as respect, integrity, confidence, being kind, setting goals, and helping others. I highly recommend! read more

We started our boys at 4. Have been going for about 8 months now. It would probably have been a little easier to start them at 4.5 or 5 yo. They go to preschool 3 days / week. We wanted them to learn how to do high-energy activities, but still be able to focus and listen to adults. I can't say enough great things about these instructors. Everything is positive reinforcement and reward based. Listen carefully, you get a stamp on your hand. Follow instructions, a stamp. The stamps translate into tokens at the end of the class. The tokens translate into stars to put on your uniform. The kids REALLY love this. As parents we really appreciate how well the instructors here work with all types of kids and adjust their teaching style to accommodate different needs. They make a big effort to make sure everyone is involved. It is maybe a little more $$ than some of the other Taekwondo academies, but I think it is definitely a good value because of the quality of instructors and convenience. The location is so central, it makes it really easy to attend a lot of classes. There are lots of nice parents to hang out with while you all watch your kids too. They hold camps on many of the school holidays which is nice also. The owners of the company are almost always on site and/or teaching the class. They often have extremely helpful comments about parenting which we really appreciate. read more

I went to ATA for four years. My older brother did real martial arts and then I found out that ATA is not a real martial art. I do Kenpo Karate now, and looking back, I see it as the worst self defense system ever! ATA's self defense are COMPLETELY WORTHLESS. When the head instructor tried bending my fingers to bring me down, it didn't work because she did not know how to do the pressure point. ATA does not show you how to actually fight. All they do is "point sparring", and they only let you hit 10-20% because they want to avoid lawsuits. When people go to ATA and say it's a good martial art, they are totally wrong and don't know what a good martial art is. When they test you for your belt, they don't care. All ATA wants is your money and they give you your belt even when you look terrible. Also, when they teach stick fighting they only teach you a worthless defense with worthless strikes. But get this! You can learn more if you join thee almighty leadership program!! Don't worry, it's only $150-200 DOLLARS A MONTH. Plus the very little kids class (Tiny Tigers) is legit baby sitting. The people at ATA only want your money because the people at the ATA HQ are rich and greedy. If there are anyone who goes to ATA and thinks I'm wrong, then don't even try arguing with me. I would destroy you in an argument against ATA. If you think I'm wrong, go to a real karate school for at least 6 months and tell me what you think. I honestly feel sad for the people at ATA. It is so commercialized read more
