ATA Martial Arts of Springfield Karate for Kids and Self-Defense Classes in Springfield

My son has autism and this school has helped him focus, has provided him a level of fitness he has not found elsewhere, and has given him a sense of pride in himself. I joined him in taekwondo a few months ago and my two daughters are now training. ATA Springfield is a great place to have "family time"!

Sr. Master Harman is an experienced instructor and runs a fantastic program at this school. While I'm no longer in the area, the education I received under his training has helped me grow to become a TKD instructor at a local dojang. The school teaches an ATA style of TKD which is quite nice given the location being close to Little Rock for competing at the world championships. You can expect to learn the core fundamentals while attending this school in addition to training with weapons, sparring, and self-defense. There are lots of opportunities to compete at events which the school supports. Whether it is a focus on martial arts education, fitness, self-defense, flexibility, or fun, I'd highly recommend their program for individuals of all ages.

Having a full-time job and being a mom, it is hard to make time for my health. These classes fit perfect in my busy schedule. The energy and motivation from the instructors keep me loving my workout. 

I love the variety of times, the location works well, and the instructors are wonderful. After five years of not exercising these classes have helped me to gain strength and I am able to do so much more after having back surgery, it surprises me! I have lost inches, as well as over 15 pounds! This class has been so good for me mentally and physically.

I love that class because not only are we getting healthier, we are creating friends while doing so! My clothes fit differently and I am stronger and I have built muscle!

These classes push me harder than I ever would on my own at home or the gym. I am very motivated in class. I have lost inches, pounds, and gained so much energy!
