This has been such a wonderful activity for my girls to try. Both my husband and I have loved the atmosphere as well as the training. Our girls are building confidence in themselves and knowledge on how to keep themselves safe. The focus and increased concentration are hugely beneficial as well.

My grandson loves going to class. He is learning discipline focus form. The environment is very encouraging and positive.

I had been very interested in finding a place to train in the martial arts that had friendly and skilled instructors, a kind and respectful environment to learn in and awesome fellow students to train with. ATA in Keizer checked all those boxes and much more. I started my journey a bit later then some as I have just turned 40 but I have never felt out of place or not fully included. It’s been so good that my wife and daughter are now training at ATA also. Couldn’t recommend this school enough no matter what age.

My 8 year old daughter has been training here for a little over a year now. She begged and begged to start martial arts and I never found the place that felt right to us. We were at the art fair and as soon as I saw Master Clews engagement with the children and adults I knew it was the place for us. She now is in the Leadership Program and loves it. We have seen her focus and coordination grow by leaps and bounds. We all have made many friends there! It really feels like a big family when you walk in. Even with a broken arm I can’t keep her away. They work will ailments or limitations of each individual student.

Mr. Clews has taught me martial arts along with master Lyons at the south commercial and west Salem location for over fifteen years. This academy is well structured, goal oriented, but also practical. The only reason I stopped attending is due to my own health issues. Had they not flared up I would still be practicing with ATA. While the staff is very child oriented and focused, adults shouldn't feel deterred. They will provide you with an individualized approach to your training. Anyone who joins will not regret their decision.

My son loves going! He loves the environment and how everyone is always so positive. I’m already starting to see a change in his behavior!

My daughter is thrilled to attend Martial Art at the Keizer school
There is a great engagement between parents and coaches which means a lot for our children
The coaches are very professional and knowledgeable in what they do
I will recommended strongly
It has increased self confidence in my 10 year old daughter

The instructors/staff are great! The instructions are very clear and they are all very patient with the kids on helping them perform the moves correctly. They manage the class very well, and make sure the kids are paying attention so as to get the most out of each class.
