The Crete ATA Martial Arts Academy has opportunities at every level for every individual. From character building, to developing good work/study habits and life skills, to helping others, to "can do" attitudes, Crete ATA is the right place, right now and always. For our family, Taekwondo has been a life-changing experience.

Crete ATA instructors, students and parents have helped create a wonderful outlet for my children. It reinforces structure, discipline, honor, time management, and a healthy lifestyle. We have truly enjoyed our time as a family with the Crete ATA.

Taking classes at the Crete ATA has become a wonderful activity for our family. Last fall our daughter started taking classes, and within a few months got her father to join as well. Our daughter wanted to take Taekwondo lessons because she thought it would be a "cool" activity, we wanted her to learn to defend herself. But we were thrilled to discover it was much more than we expected!

It has been a wonderful way for them to get some exercise, develop their mind/body/spirit connection, and a great family activity as well. The emphasis on the monthly life skills is great, especially for our daughter. We love the family-friendly atmosphere and caring staff we have met!

Our lives have changed immensely with Crete ATA. My husband and I are retired and look forward to the weekly opportunity to gain self confidence, fitness and positive attitudes. We are impressed with the levels of cardiovascular fitness and of mind/body coordination being offered.

Our Finnish foreign exchange student also has expanded her circle of friends, her level of energy and knowledge in a welcoming atmosphere.

All Priceless!

The Taekwondo program has been an important part of (our daughter's) social, emotional and physical development during her elementary through high school years. She gained self-confidence, self-assurance, physical strength and was motivated by the program to continue her progression to Black belt and beyond.

The leadership opportunities and the experience of working with all age groups from young children through adults helped her in her inter-personal relationships. The combination of discipline and ritual with having fun made it a great learning experience. She feels confident in herself both socially as well as in her ability to protect herself. This will benefit her throughout life. The Taekwondo program has offered an excellent extra-curricular activity that has served for many years as a focal point of her life and will always be a highlight of her memories of "growing up."

We would heartily recommend the program for children of all ages.
