Ata Martial Arts

My family has been with Arkansas ATA now for 4 years. I can say they are very respectful and professional with me and my kids. The life skills that they have taught my daughter are priceless and I'm happy to know they reinforce that they should act accordingly away from the academy too. We have gotten to train with many of the instructors from schools all around Little Rock, and are proud to say we plan on continuing our training for years to come. I was sad to see the negative review, but then noticed that the person reviewed two of the schools on the same day. They say the instructors are not allowed to develop relationships with families....but we love our instructor, and all the staff at their academies. If you are looking for a professional martial arts school for you and/or your kids, we highly recommend any Arkansas ATA school! more

ATA starts out as a great place for your kids, but do not sign on the dotted line and read the fine print. In a nutshell, this is a belt factory! This business put profit above all else. After spending three years with them (I had two kids enrolled), they did not like us training in another martial art form. They gave us an ultimatum! Of course, we left! Every weapon we purchased, not used. Every belt earned by time, not testing or ability. They do not allow there instructors to develop relationships with families or a sense of team. They operate under a cloak of secrecy. This business has ruined some good relationships. They are poison! more
