From the reviews
ATA andover is an excellent place to train martial arts and self-improvement lessons. Our daughter was physically very active but didn’t have the energy channeled into specific stream. Few months after joining ATA martial arts, she slowly started enjoying taekwondo and then got into sparring.
My son started here four years ago and what a difference it has made for him. Master Landrum is an excellent instructor who knows how to get the most out of his kids and you can tell from watching the junior instructors lead the classes.
My son is in the Autism Spectrum and he absolutely loves to come in for his taekwondo lessons. I not only love the fact that they are close by but I love their teaching methods.
My kids started doing Taekwondo with Master Landrum at the local YMCA when they were about 7. After a year of sitting and watching the kids, we decided to move to practicing at his school down the street so I could join in and now the whole family is involved.
New to Krav Maga? Start at ATA Martial Arts
ATA Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a self-defense class, 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 athletic to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build the fundamentals (stance, movement, and core self-defense techniques) over weeks, and controlled pressure-testing eases in gradually so every drill stays safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or Level 1 class time so your first session is alongside others who are also just starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Krav Maga class at ATA Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a Krav Maga school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling a few core techniques with a partner — controlled and at your own pace, not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move in — there's no uniform or special gear you need to buy to get started. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — most schools have everything else you'll need for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call what to bring. Pressure-testing eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid — you won't be sparring hard on day one. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
