Over the years, I've seen a few schools of martial arts come and go, and I've had a few teachers,…read morebut few have ever struck me as loving what they do as much as Guro Tony Marcial. The head teacher -"Guro" in his native language,- of the Philippine Martial Arts Institute, a school that's part of the Westlake Martial Arts Center, his style is known as Marcial Tirada Kali, and is defined as follows; "The Kali system "Marcial Tirada" taught at the Philippine Martial Arts Institute, is a composite of different Kali styles taught primarily in the Pangasinan region of The Philippines. The primary weapons taught in the Marcial Tirada Kali System are single and double stick, knife and stick & dagger. In the Art of Kali, the practitioner will learn weaponry first. This type of training develops awareness, sensitivity, coordination & quick reflex action. The Kali practitioner learns the empty hand after he or she has developed an understanding of the concepts of weapon fighting. A practitioner of Kali will be taught all ranges of empty hand fighting." The classes at the school are taught, currently, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and are intense, interesting and are taught in a way that encourages learning on the highest level. EVERY class is like a mini-seminar. I've learned a ton, and then some, with each class, and if you want to learn a street effective style, with applications that will make you into a "Bourne" fighter, than I suggest contacting Guro Tony and coming by; you won't regret it. Trust me, after just one class, you'll never look at rattan as just furniture material ever again:) (Just a note, the classes are great, but I would suggest that anyone younger than early teens might not be suitable for them, due to certain aspects of the training.)

The gym is always clean and has a variety of different classes on different days at different times to suit a wide array of schedules and interests.

If you are interested in martial arts, self-defense, or general fitness at any level, I recommend checking out Krav Maga Cleveland!

I had FUN at a self-defense beginner class which I took back on 27 March 2021. Funny enough, today is 27 March 2022 so it is now a whole year later. Time really flies. SELF-DEFENSE CLASS -- The class mixes principles of boxing, Muay Thai, and wrestling. Once the 2 instructors explained the defense moves that we would all be working on, each person paired up with a partner to practice what we just learned. I enjoyed practicing all the moves. The instructors provided props such as a padded hitting block. At certain points, the main instructor (man) was speaking too fast but he was funny. I recommend Krav Maga if you live in the area. It is located in Warrensville Heights on the east side of Cleveland, which is too far from where I live. They have self-defense classes for male and females and they also offer yoga and strength/conditioning classes. **** - 31/150 total reviews in 2022 - 509 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 March 2022

With fun and engaging instruction, the Coach Team holds the attention and imagination of these small people en mass, and sends them home with a whole new lexicon of words and tools to improve listening and obedience skills. My child is relating to general daily instruction in a whole new way at home, his confidence with other children on the playground has improved at school, and he has an increased body awareness and confidence. We just experienced our first belt testing ceremony, and it was so sweetly presented that it made Grandpa cry with happy pride in the audience. Great experience here so far, and we look forward to many more years of learning with Coach Scott.

She struggles with ADHD and Anxiety, but ATA has helped by improving her focus, self control and self confidence. The instructors are all patient and are always willing to take the time to correct students to ensure their movements are being completed safely and properly. For the owner and instructors, it's not about just getting kids in the door like some places strive for, it's about ensuring they're learning proper technique and life skills! Their passion is infectious, the facility is clean and well kept, and the students are having fun while learning. We absolutely love Chardon ATA and look forward to seeing our daughter (and eventually our son,) continue to grow through this program.
