From the reviews

Happy one year at your new location, Region ATA! This is one of my kids’ happy place. Here, they feel safe and accepted. Region ATA has helped shape, motivate and challenge both of my kids over the years. I’ve seen how much it’s built their self-confidence too.

★★★★★ — Cristalle, Nov 2024

We absolutely love Region ATA and are so grateful to be part of this incredible community. After relocating from Illinois, it took some time to find the right martial arts school for our son due to his busy swim schedule (he’s a competitive swimmer).

★★★★★ — Honest, Oct 2024

We thought that taking a few taekwondo classes was going to be a short summer activity… but it turns out - this place is so awesome, that both kids wanted to stay, with no intention of stopping anytime soon. Coaches are super fun, professional, and engage the kids fantastically.

★★★★★ — G, Jan 2025

Exactly what we were looking for! Instructors are awesome and really care about their students. Doesn't matter if you're 4 or 70 years old, they will work with you. My daughter has been with them 2 years, she is now a red belt, and won the district championship 🏆 for forms and weapons this year!

Your first Karate class at Region ATA

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.
