From the reviews
We’ve been a part of ATA for five years. We’ve had three boys start in the Tiger program (perfect for the younger kids) and the oldest just earned his Black Belt. The staff is excellent.
Sylas has achieved so much self confidence and determination with the encouragement of each staff member but especially Mr Jones. Thank you have a blessed Merry Christmas and please take care. The Stellfox Family Sylas your great grandmother is so proud of you. All your hard work and weekly effort truly shows.
ATA is part of our life especially for Jayden! It helps in his discipline and focus and he really has an emotional connection to succeed in front of his teachers!
I’ll never forget the day my son came home from preschool saying he wanted to be a black belt leader at ATA. He was ready to step on the mat and train to one day meet that goal!
New to Karate? Start at Momentum Martial Arts
Momentum Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Momentum Martial Arts
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.
