From the reviews

Switched my kid from reddings MMA to ATA and the classes are smaller and the building is much bigger with more tools and one on one instruction. Not ragging on Redding but He now enjoys going to martial arts and looks forward to training with the instructors.

As an Elementary Teacher and mom of three boys I am selective of how and where we spend our family time. Marshall's is a family atmosphere. We looked forward to attending classes multiple times a week. They loved my child during his time in Tiny Tigers and celebrated everything from birthdays to good report cards.

★★★★★ — Jamie, Sep 2019

If you're looking for a place to start taekwondo, this is it! I have scoliosis and have been attending class for over 7 years now, and everyone is super encouraging and friendly and makes you feel like you're part of the family. Each session is focused on bettering your skill either individually or as a class.

★★★★★ — Katie, Sep 2022

Both of my kids have been attending class for years. Seriously like 8 years. It's been a fantastic foundation for them to learn respect and leadership. Each kid is appreciated for their uniqueness in a true family atmosphere.

Your first Karate class at Marshalls ATA Karate for Kids

Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
