ATA Martial Arts of Royersford — Local services in Limerick Township

I just reached my one year anniversary with ATA Martial Arts in Limerick, PA and wanted to share my experience as I reflect back on the past year. The one year anniversary relates to the Black Belt Taekwondo program. I was first introduced to ATA Martial Arts and Mr. M. through a friend and sampled a "FIT" program which was primarily focused on cardio and strength training; had nothing to do with Martial Arts. I enjoyed the structure of the FIT class which led my wife and I to sign up for the "FIT" program. The "FIT" program was a great way for me to get a different type of cardio and strength workout in a group setting that was very fun, laid back yet delivered the results I was looking for. Over the next 18 months I was able to see the various children, teens and adults come in after FIT for Taekwondo classes. They were all excited to be there and you could sense a strong 'community' feel. I finally took the plunge and enrolled in the Black Belt program last September. No regrets looking back as I continue working towards my Black Belt. Mr. M. and the other instructors all sincerely show an interest in helping everyone achieve their goals. While the classes are structured there is still a 'laid back' feel to them where you don't feel uncomfortable asking questions. That community feel I saw was real and it really is a great group of kids, teens and adults that have come together. The Taekwondo classes focus not only on the Martial Art aspect but overall fitness and strong values. I highly recommend ATA Martial Arts in Limerick to anyone on the fence about...

I joined the ATA organization in 2002 at the age of 24 and received my first degree black belt in 2005. Within months, i noticed changes in myself - better focus in school and at work, increased confidence, physical fitness - that confirmed my belief - TAE KWON DO IS SOMETHING EVERYONE SHOULD DO....And they should do it at ATA Royersford. I enrolled my sons, ages 4 and 5, at ATA Royersford after my first meeting with Mr. M. Not only was he friendly and positive, he had complete respect, cooperation, and discipline from every student in his class. Mr. M is a fantastic instructor who is capable of providing individual attention to each student in every class. My 4 year old, normally very quite and reserved, has had so much more confidence since breaking a board in class. He is now loud, responsive, proud, and willing to show everyone outside of class what he has learned. My 5 year old is learning how to be a leader and understand the importance of displaying good behavior wherever he is. His school teacher was able to enforce his good manners by telling him she speaks to Mr. M. After a five year break, I have begun to take classes again. I enjoy each class, for the things i learn from instructors Mr. M and Mr. Long, and all the other students (adults and children) in the school. This is an amazing experience to share with my kids, who are impressed when I show them the things I know. Likewise, ATA Royersford truly has a family atmosphere. The students (children and adults) are welcoming, encouraging, and positive. I highly recommend this school, and Mr. M,...

My son has been with ATA of Royersford for 5 months now. My husband and I have been impressed since day 1 with the instructors and how we were treated by all of the staff. Fast forward to today and we have the opportunity to see how they operate during a quarantine none of us saw coming. From Facebook daily challenges, videos, giveaways and Zoom classes (including free beginner classes for the community), they are keeping the kids who are stuck at home active and focused. Students are testing for their stripes and next belt level. Although my son really misses physically going to his classes, in our home he is yelling, "yes, sir" to his instructors and maintaining the same discipline I see from him during his typical classes. We are very impressed with all the hard work of all the staff, and appreciate how much work is being done by those behind the scenes, such as countless email communication and splitting the students up into multiple rooms so instructors can focus on fewer students individually. We can't thank you all enough and highly recommend ATA of Royersford.

Updated to add a new review... All the instructors are focused and energized. I love how Mr. Riordan can keep a class going while Mr. John works with the new students. When your student is new and they receive personal attention throughout class, is shows their parents that they're valued and they're not just thrown into class and left standing there lost. During this class, I kept going back and forth between watching my son and watching the smiles on the parents of new students. Their smiles...
