Howard's ATA Martial Arts: Opinions
Fantastic experience: They are friendly, kindness and the best martial arts in the city. My kids love Mr. Howard and especially the boss lady Kelsey. We love them and I bet you guys will love them too. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Great place for taekwondo. Very friendly people that are all wonderful with kids (and adults too)
Fantastic experience: If you are nearby this place, then just go for it!! Mr and Mrs Howard are so welcoming. It’s fun to attend and also watch those classes! My 4yr old and my husband had so much fun! We miss this place soooo much!
Fantastic experience: Just had my kid’s birthday party there today and it was awesome!! The instructors did very well handling 20+ kids and there was never a dull moment. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Mr. And Mrs. Howard are the best. All the instructors are very professional and humble. I will recommend them to anyone without a blink. My son has been going there for more than an year and doesn’t want to miss any class. He loves the Howard family at ATA.
Fantastic experience: 5 star. Mr Howard and the other instructors are really good at teaching and making sure you master what you are studying. The class helps build discipline. I highly recommend Howard’s ATA for taekwondoe.
Fantastic experience: They're so great with the kids! We love it!
Positive experience: Nice teacher , though costly. It is nice place. After being there for almost year , i realized teacher's focus shifts towards fresh students more. And despite showing dedication towards institute in going there spending my time bringing my child there and that also helping them by paying each month for year. I realized my child had little growth and found huge saturation for growing skills. I guess institute's most focus is towards welcoming fresh students. Thatz is point
Fantastic experience: Best place to bring your kids for Martial Arts . Mr. Howard and the team are great people !! My kids love them and have learned so much and will continue to learn!
Fantastic experience: Mr and Mrs Howard's ATA has been a game changer in my kid's lives. The focus, respect and discipline they have learned from Martial Arts here is amazing. All the black belts that help in the classes are fun and friendly. They make time to work with each kid individually and not let any one fall behind. My only regret is not starting my kids sooner.
Positive experience: You will not meet a kinder gym. Everyone here is kind and working toward your success.
Fantastic experience: Friendliest people you will meet, great for kids, superb training

Fantastic experience: My son loves it here. The Howards are very friendly and make everyone feel welcome.
Fantastic experience: Great instructors. And stuff
Positive experience: My son goes here and he really digs it. It's under new management and it's much improved.
Fantastic experience: We just had my daughter's birthday party there and couldn't have been happier. They took care of all the details including the cake and drinks and the kids had a blast. They had 19 incoming 1st graders attention the entire hour and a half. Mr. Howard was so great and made my daughter feel amazing. She is often shy in new settings and had never been there before and absolutely loved it. She loves being active and they had the kids up and moving the entire time, while learning various moves and new vocabulary. She even got to break a board which was really fun for her and all of the other kids there as well and ending it with an obstacle course was great fun. I would highly recommend having another birthday party there.
Fantastic experience: My while family loves going to Mr Howard's ATA classes. The teachers, assistant teachers and Mrs Howard make the school more personal. They take the time to get to know the kids and their parents. They work with you and with your children.
Fantastic experience: I cannot rave enough about Howard's ATA Martial Arts. The center donated a 45-minute Confidence Course for a group of 10 Girl Scouts. They had 3 instructors on hand and were incredible with the kids (ages 9-11). They were outstanding instructors, really engaged the girls, and allowed them to sample a variety of activities including kicking, board-breaking, bagwork, partner work, and more. There was a discussion about respecting yourself and others. It was incredibly empowering for the girls and I was beyond impressed with the respect and kindness shown to our group. All of our girls left with HUGE smiles on their faces. They felt strong and powerful and were clamoring for more learning about martial arts. A few other things to know: the gym is SPOTLESS, the staff is kind and friendly, and the equipment is organized, clean, and safe. We were so impressed. Thank you so much for hosting us and for being such an amazing community partner!
Fantastic experience: Teachers have a lot of energy, very attentive.

Fantastic experience: We love Howard's ATA on Manchester. My son is in the Tiger class. He loves the program as well as my husband and I do too. The whole team is awesome. Mrs. Howard is very detailed and great at communicating everything to us about the program and upcoming schedule. Mr. Howard is an awesome teacher. He is so patient (more than I would ever be teaching kids) and knowledgeable of Martial Arts and training. His crew is also top notch. Mr. Ali and Mr. Bucholtz have been with the program since my son has started (1 1/2 years ago) and very dedicated to the classes they teach. Mr. Graffiths brings high energy to the class and the kids are very engaged when he teaches. We are so glad we continued with the program and new ownership. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: This school is amazing. Each and every student receives the attention and coaching necessary to meet their inborn potential, and more. Mr Jordan Howard and his team are kind, hardworking and love what they do. And add to this - Mr Howard is, himself, a brilliant athlete and fearless competitor. You will not find a better ATA school anywhere.
Fantastic experience: We have checked couple other locations prior to joining this one. Parking is always readily available. Great location and teaching skills. We see a significant improvement in discipline. "Task & good deed sheets" that Mr Howard reviews in front of the class had a very positive effect on my 6 year old. Even our son's K-grade teacher mentioned in parents-teacher conference that he is much more focused and gets to her tasks so much faster since he started attending this academy.
