Traverse City ATA Martial Arts Karate for Kids and Self-Defense Classes in Traverse City

Ben has recieved MORE commendations from his teacher for having kindness, courtesy, and showing respect. His Dad attributes this to the teachings of ATA, and especially, Master Pline!

Master Pline, his wife & staff are awesome. This past fall I enrolled my grandson (mildly autistic). I have seen drastic improvements with my grandson. It is really building his self esteem, teaching him life skills, he is doing better in class, listening better & focusing better. My grandson has learned to be helpful outside of class from the things he learns in class. A lot of what he learns in class carries on to his daily living. His manners have greatly improved. He is a happier, more talkative child than he was before attending ATA. He loves attending class & has made a lot of friends. It is the best gift I could have given him. It also is a quality way to involve the whole family from siblings, parents, aunts/uncles & grandparents as well as the great grandparents. He loves having his family at class watching.

I joined your class with the thought of being placed on medications for my high triglycerides. After only 3 months in your class, my doctor reversed her decision as to the medications due to my trigs going from 289 to 119. Thank you for my healthy lifestyle!

Taekwondo helped keep me focused and successful as a young teenager and has truly made a difference in my adult life!

ATA (Master Pline) has taught my daughter self-control and discipline. Also how to use self-defense. Thank you for all you have done!

My wife and I love the Krav classes here. Master Pline and Bob Butz are both great instructors and give the individual and group attention as needed. The group share a pretty strong bond and are always willing to offer advice.

ATA has several positive Components. The main one is hearing that my 6th grade daughter has “grown out of her shell!” This was a quote from her 1st grade teacher. All due to attending classes 2 times a week. Learning confidence, self control, and a positive attitude.

I love the workouts, self-defense, and camaraderie of the group. Well worth coming every week!

My granddaughter is enrolled and what she is learning is helping her throughout her day in everything she does. The self esteem has grown immensely. Thank you for giving her this boost of confidence

Our son is enrolled and the training is very good. Master Pline works well with kids and teaches them responsibility and respect, as well as being athletically coordinated.
