From the reviews
15 years ago, my older son and I got our black belts together. It is one of my favorite memories and proud moments. Now I have my younger three in class. The entire program is wonderful! Can't say enough good things.
Excellent place to learn karate and other services too. My son has been going for 2 years and just loves it. All instructors are very respectful and professional. I would recommend this place to families and friends.
My daughter and whole family loves Sanders ATA! My daughter has gained confidence, leadership skills and discipline while attending classes here. She loves the instructors and I appreciate that they not only know taekwondo and the ins and outs but they also know how to teach children in a variety of ways.
I highly recommend Sander's ATA for any parent considering martial arts for their child. The instructor is exceptional with kids, making each class engaging and fun. My daughter is not only excited about attending her classes, but she's also inspired to become a black belt leader.
Your first kickboxing class at Sanders ATA Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
