We had my son’s 8th birthday here with 10 of his friends and everyone had a blast. The class was organized, the instructor did great controlling the tempo of 11 eight year olds, and the kids never stopped smiling. They even covered what kids could do in regards to strangers and possible kidnapping. Worth every penny.

This review is much over due. I am very proud of my two girls who attend Master Schrieber’s ATA Martial Arts. My girls started at 6 years old and 3.5 years old. I must say I was skeptical as to how long this would last. My 3 year old would cry before some classes. She needed assurance even though her older sister was with her. Sometimes I felt she would be so apprehensive I contemplated taking her out a handful of times. But she was just 3 and a half and I could see Master Schreiber would handle the situation (s) very well. I felt he knew when to encourage and when to step back and let her breathe. Im happy to say it has been almost 2 years now and my girls love It! I can’t believe how my girls can retain all that they’ve learned and what they are presently learning. I see how confident they are, how mentally they retain information in other extra curricular activities they are involved in as well as take instruction from other teachers/​instructors (school, dance, swim etc.).
What started out as my Goal to have my girls learn self defense has become much more than I could hope for. I’m glad as a parent I Persevered in the beginning months because I see how self-​confident and motivated my girls are to trying new things.
I would absolutely recommend Master Schreiber’s ATA Martial Arts to anyone considering!

My daughter has been attending classes for a couple of months now. She was so nervous when she started. In fact, it took two regular classes and a private class to get her out there. Master Schrieber was so patient because he knew she wanted to be doing it, but was just nervous. Now, she will ask almost every day, «is it tae kwon do day?» She loves it and is really coming out of her shell. This is a wonderful program!

My son has been at Master Schreiber’s ATA for two years starting off as a shy boy. Now after two years he is assisting Master Schreiber teach class and being a role model not only for other students for me his mother and sister. We are all now students because of what Master Schreiber has been able to do for my son. I recommend Master Schreiber’s ATA.

I have NEVER written a Unilocal review. But This place deserves it. Last April I wanted to sign my 3yo son up, and my husband thought it was a good idea to sign my 7yo daughter as well. Both my daughter and I were hesitate, but she agreed to try it for the introductory month, and we asked for no further commitment from her. Well, 6 weeks later, she was in LOVE, and wanted to join the leadership program, which was a year commitment. Again I was hesitate, but this time my daughter wasn’t. I finally agreed (it was only a year), and let me just say that is probably one of the best things I could have done for my daughter. She has gained so much self confidence in the past 6 months. The self confidence is starting to flow out into other activities. And as an added bonus, her focus and commitment to her school work has increase as well. As for my 3 year old son… He is learning more about focus and discipline every week… and it is in a fun and loving environment. Yes I used the word loving while writing a review about a martial arts studio. Senior Master Schreiber has passion and love for the ATA and it shows when he is out there teaching the kids. :)

I looked at a few martial arts places before choosing Master Schreiber’s for my two boys. It has been a fantastic 2 months! Both boys apply what they learn at school and already are better at focusing. The instructors are patient with the kids and we love being a part of this great group!

Our son Dennis has made great strides in his confidence and decipline since going to ATA. The instructors are great with the kids and have a tremendous amount of patience.

My son has been training with Master Schreiber for 9 months. Master Screiber is wonderful with the kids. My son has a LOT of energy and at times has a hard time focusing. Master Screiber really teaches the kids discipline and how to control their energy. In the short period of time I have seen a difference in my sons mannerism. He uses the methods the classes have taught him to defuse bad situations in pre-​school and has been more respectful to adults and other children. We couldn’t be happier.

I’ve been training with Master Schreiber for a few months and I love it! I’ve gained rank (I’m a yellow belt now), technique, and strength. I give it my best shot every week and I am way stronger than I was when I started! If you are an adult who wants to get in shape, learn self-​defense, and gain confidence, then this is highly recommended!

My boys have been with Master Schreiber’s ATA for over a year and I can’t say enough great things about their organization. They have taught my children respect and courtesy, as well as given my children a physical skill they really enjoy. My boys have been to many tournaments and have learned to win with grace and lose with dignity. They are also members of of Master Schreiber’s Demo Team which has taught them discipline but fun at the same time. I really appreciate all the heart and energy that all the instructors give at each and every class.

Master Schreiber’s ATA is amazing. My daughter is in the Tiny Tiger Basic program and she loves it. The lessons are fun and challenging. She is learning self control, self confidence, self defense, all in an atmosphere of encouragement and friendship. It is great for kids of all ages and abilities. Master Schreiber and his staff are great with the kids, they have a real knack for getting them to tune in and stay focused on the task at hand. This is an awesome, affordable alternative to the usual sports available to younger kids. I highly recommend ATA.

My son has been training with Master Schreiber and staff for two years (in June) and I am proud to see how he has grown in body and mind. The staff is very approachable and helpful with behavior issues. The program is great at teaching the students about leadership, self control and anti-​bullying.

Wow! I have been training at Master Schreiber ATA since 2009. I am a man over 50years old and don’t know where you could better training from one of the best instructors in the USA. Master Schreiber, is patient and disciplined with the kids, but at the same time makes learning TKD fun and not to ridged. You’re learning from a Master with a 7th degree black belt. The American Taekwondo Association has over 200,000 students/​instructors World Wide! We are all one big family and the instructions and testing’s are very uniformed, wherever your school is located. You really can’t beat it. It’s a great life style at any age, from 5years to 80 years old!

My child has been attending for almost 2 years, I do really like that they not only teach the kids martial arts but also life lessons, they try to instill good leadership skills and responsibility which is a plus. The only reason I didn’t give them all 5 stars is because of the sales tactics they use, they approached me to tell me that my son would be a good candidate for the leadership program and were very persuasive and persistent to try and have me sign him up. I reluctantly did so, which I am kicking myself now because it is a 3 year contract!!! So even if my child has no interest in going we are bound by a contract! I have tried several times to get out of the contract for several different legitimate reasons but was unable to. The only reasons they will let you out of the contract is if your child gets terminally ill or you move away where there is no other ata school. this has left a sour taste in my mouth. The Chief instructor is also a lawyer so he can use that to his advantage. The school concept is good but really dislike the sales approach. Just beware signing any «commitments»

I can not say enough good things about this school or the instructors. The program instills the best character traits in its students. The instructors, assistant instructors, and student instructors all model this and are great with kids.
The chief instructor, Jordan Schreiber (Master Schreiber), is a 6th degree blackbelt with over 20 years experience in TEACHING taekwondo. He also founded and runs an organization called Team Pride (
).
If you have been wanting a place for your child to learn martial arts, or have been thinking about it yourself, look no further. Seriously, you will not find a better school or group of instructors anywhere.
