We visited a handful of places and my son decided he wanted to attend American Canyon ATA, he loves it! This is a great place for kids to learn self-esteem and gain more confidence. 

Cory Ball is such a great instructor! He does a great job helping students of all ages to learn and understand martial arts, self defense, leadership skills, and confidence. His teaching style is fun, but also disciplined. ATA has made me a better person today, giving me self confidence and making me feel safer with the self defense skills I have learned. Mr Cory Ball and his school are life changing, and definitely deserve a try. Try some classes free before you commit! :)

A good place for kids to learn self defense early in life, and instructor is teaching them discipline, respect for others, and most of all "Martial Arts" of TaeKwonDo....I highly recommend this place for parents to enroll their children.

My son has taken classes with this school since he was 4 years old. He is now a black belt at almost 10 years old! He has matured the last few years with Mr Ball, and I have seen more focus and discipline in my son that would not have been possible without the classes here. Mr. Ball is an excellent instructor, he teaches the kids life skills like honor, respect, and discipline in training. The school offers Tiny Tigers, Karate Kids, and an Adult class in the evenings, which is convenient for working parents and for students after school.  The students get to exercise in class in addition to learning the Taekwondo forms. There are also opportunities to participate in regional tournaments. I would highly recommend trying out a class to see how you or your child likes the program. 

Mr. Ball is such a caring instructor he always goes the extra mile to help his students. American Canyon ATA is phenomenal definitely a must if your looking to learn self defense skills and get a great workout all while having fun and learning life skills.

Instructor Mr. Ball creates such a positive and welcoming atmosphere for all ages. Along with the Tae Kwon Do curriculum in class, he teaches students to have respect, honesty, and integrity outside of class. He will even read positive feedback from parents in front of the tiger & kids classes to show when younger students do something that uses their life skills in their real life. Mr. Ball really wants to see all of his students excel to the next level and will help them in any way he can. You can tell he enjoys seeing the transformation as a student progresses. This is a GREAT school for any age!

My oldest daughter started going here when she was 5 y/o...now she is almost 11 and training for her second degree black belt. My younger two kids (6 and 8) also attend classes. All three of my kids love going to Tae Kwon Do and learning from Mr. Ball. Mr Ball is such a great instructor and demonstrates excellent patience with the younger kids. He can also easily  adjust his teaching style depending on the various age groups. This is a wonderful school and I would recommend it for anyone who would like their child to learn important life skills, self defense and anti bullying strategies.

Awesome martial arts school! Great instructor with lots of knowledge and passion! I would recommend to anyone!

LOVE this school for our two children! Mr. Ball instills so many great life lessons. From confidence, self esteem, discipline and more, both of our girls have flourished. Our oldest daughter was recently bullied in school and Mr. Ball met with her to help give her some great advice and things she can do to combat these situations. We are so glad to be a part of this school and highly recommend it for any and everyone!

I have two Daughters that have been attending this school since they were 4, (they are 6 and 8 now.) Mr. Ball is a 4th degree black belt who is an enthusiastic instructor with tons of patience and is very passionate about martial arts. I have noticed big improvements in both my daughters' attention span, self-confidence, fitness, and attitude. This school teaches self-defense and life skills that would benefit children and people of all ages. Highly recommended! Don't let the affordable price fool you, this is a top-notch school!
