  My child has been attending Martial Arts classes here since August of 2022. Mr. C is such an amazing role model for him and not only teaches them karate but how to be confident, self disciplined, honest, respectful and accountability. ATA Concord has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. Seeing how much our son has grown since he first stepped through those doors has been amazing. I could not recommend it enough, I’d give 20 stars if I could.

  Our two boys have been attending ATA since September of 2022. It’s been HUGE for our youngest’s confidence and amazing for our oldest’s discipline and understanding of values.

It’s paved the way for some tough conversations with our boys and helped me navigate (and give me confidence!) about how to have these conversations as a parent to two young boys in today’s society. Confidence, self-esteem, honesty—all things we’ve been talking about and learning about in ATA.

I’m extremely thankful for our amazing instructor, Mr C, and the breath of life and passion he breathes into my boys!

  My daughter has been practicing in Mr. C’s dojo for a while. I can see my child growing stronger mentally and physically. Mr. C, the instructor is a good influence to the kids and tries to make his classes very enjoyable to all age groups. The life-skills as such, respect, self-esteem, communication, etc Mr. C teaches in his classes are very practical and great to develop a self confident and respectful person. Thank you Mr. C for guiding young kids

  This is an awesome school. Not only are the kids taught  martial arts but also great life skills (respect, discipline, confidence). The instructor, "Mr C" is very patient and teaches the kids with personal stories so they can relate. Highly recommend
