From the reviews
My twin sons started martial arts over 2 years ago with Coffrin’s ATA Martial Arts program. They are so disciplined, confident and respectful. The atmosphere is positive and upbeat. The staff are like our second family. We are so proud to be apart of such a great program.
We’ve had the most amazing experience at Coffrin’s ATA Martial Arts! The instructors have been incredible with our 3 year old son who is usually very nervous when trying new things. Our son has had multiple tough moments (getting scared or getting a “boo-boo” during an exercise and crying).
My son took Taekwondo from Mr & Mrs Coffrin many moons ago when the school was in Mattoon, IL. The confidence he gained as he progressed through each belt was immeasurable. Coffrin's taught him many valuable lessons that he, to this day, still carries with him.
Coffrin’s Martial Arts is a great place to train for all ages. I started out 8 years ago and I am a 3rd Degree Black Belt, working on earning my 4th Degree before I turn 70, which is only a few years away. It is a fantastic place to learn and visit.
Your first Krav Maga class at Coffrin's 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.
