From the reviews
15 years ago, my older son and I got our black belts together. It is one of my favorite memories and proud moments. Now I have my younger three in class. The entire program is wonderful! Can't say enough good things.
My daughter and whole family loves Sanders ATA! My daughter has gained confidence, leadership skills and discipline while attending classes here. She loves the instructors and I appreciate that they not only know taekwondo and the ins and outs but they also know how to teach children in a variety of ways.
I highly recommend Sander's ATA for any parent considering martial arts for their child. The instructor is exceptional with kids, making each class engaging and fun. My daughter is not only excited about attending her classes, but she's also inspired to become a black belt leader.
Every child gets attention and personal help. All the Instructors are so good with the kids. This is definitely more than just taekwondo, and I could not be happier with the experiences that my kids have had and the growth they’ve shown. Confidence, respect, and manners.
Your first Krav Maga class at Sanders 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.
