I feel like Ive been paying for my child to learn how to deal with disappointment. My 5-yr-old began this summer. He noticed other students getting weapons. He wanted one. We consulted the brochure about what it takes to earn a weapon, but the language was vague and un-measurable. There was no clear set of actions, behaviors, or learning outcomes listed that we could work towards; it was if the student catches the attention of the instructor. So my son answered questions correctly, tried his best to follow directions and listen. He was even used to demonstrate something correctly. He worked hard every week only to watch someone else get a weapon. So we asked about it and were given the same vague response about the instructor noticing the student. Being educators, my husband and I used this situation as a teaching opportunity. We taught our son how to be disappointed and cheer and clap for the other person--how to be a good sport. Every week, it continued. He would be disappointed, look back at his dad, and then straighten up and clap for the kid with the weapon. I later learned from another parent that the $15 weapon is part of an honors class that involves more money.If they want to use the weapon to bait the parent into spending more money, okay, but think about how this affects children who actually take the classes seriously. Some children are extrinsically motivated to succeed. So dangling a weapon out there to keep them coming but never awarding it is mean, cruel, and shady---especially when the driving force is money from the parent. Hes 5; he has plenty of time to learn that the world is mean, cruel, and shady.My point is this: if you want to take your child to Bartlett ATA for fun, to burn off some energy, to get them out of the house,--like recess in a uniform--this might be the place for you. If you REALLY want your child to learn discipline and your child REALLY wants to learn martial arts (and different moves), look somewhere else. You will be disappointed here.To respond to your reply below, Bartett ATA, this is the information you should have shared when my husband emailed you AND asked you in person. You havent been seeing him because we were tired of NOT KNOWING why he wasnt invited to the advanced classes. I knew you would respond in this manner, so I will again say it was NOT KNOWING what you were looking for that was the problem. He missed TWO classes because he had a sinus infection and we were being considerate of the other children. Seth took and passed his test, at which time my husband was told regular attendance was the key to getting the weapon. When we asked about his progress, NO ONE shared this information with us about his progress and the requirements--this is all we wanted. We didnt want special treatment. We wanted clarification. Too bad it took a public review to get the information weve been asking for privately. I stand by my initial review. Improve your communication.

I have been training here for almost 11 years now. The instructors that teach are some of the greatest people I have ever got a chance to meet. They have helped me become the person that I am today. They work on so many life skills for kids and adults. Anyone can do this from any age. I’m so glad my mom signed me up when I was 4 because I don’t know where I would be at today.

I’ve always wanted to practice martial arts as a child but couldn’t. But it’s never too late! From day one Bartlett ATA has been very supportive, encouraging, motivating, and welcoming. The instructors and staff are BEYOND amazing and helpful! With patience, guidance, and exceptional leadership, they truly help you to reach your maximum capabilities. I love Bartlett ATA and I love the person I’m becoming from being part of such an amazing family. It has changed my life. All in all, one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!!!

ATA is a great place for learning self confidence, communication, and teamwork. The instructors are inspiring and want nothing but for you and your child to succeed. My three kids have learned to communicate and push each other with forms and sparing. My youngest has learned self confidence and not be afraid when sparing. It’s not just for kids, as we see couples, daughter/mom, son/mom and everything in between. We are proud to call ATA our family.

Review №19

I’ve waited a long time to write this review, as I’m never sure how to quantify how much I love this place that has become my second home. My family and I started out at another school in town, but circumstances eventually led us to switch to Bartlett ATA and we couldn’t be happier. From the very beginning, we’ve been treated like family. Chief Master Candidate Betsy Stevens and Master Tony Rosa truly care about their students and want them to not only learn good martial arts techniques, but to learn important life skills and be successful outside martial arts as well. All levels train here; from brand new beginners to those that are competing (and winning) on a national and international level. However, everyone is treated with the same respect and attention no matter their level or ability. The instructors are all top notch; they excel at taekwondo and teaching, but are also great role models. Even the teenagers here (students and assistant instructors) are the kind of kids you want your younger kids to be around. My whole family trains here - myself, my husband and our 3 children. We not only enjoy the physical and mental aspects of training, but the camaraderie and sense of community. Bartlett ATA has become our extended family and our children have made many close friendships here. There are many choices in life as to what to spend our hard earned money on each month, but this isn’t a hard choice. Hands down, this the best investment we can make in our physical and mental well being and I’m proud to be part of Bartlett ATA.

Master Rosa and crew are simply the best. They actually care about your child and their progression. During Covid-19, they took every precaution to keep everyone healthy and safe while continuing training. My daughter has gained confidence and makes better grades in school all from the discipline bestowed upon her by Bartlett ATA!

Bartlett ATA has created an environment where the students can learn martial arts in a safe and fun manner. The staff is very professional.

My 3 year old son has been training with Bartlett ATA for a few months now and loves it. The staff and instructors are nice, professional and take time to make sure each and every student is given the best opportunity to learn and grown as an individual. They really do care and have been instrumental in instilling valuable knowledge and skills in their students for use throughout their lives. During a pandemic where so much is unstable and uncertain, Bartlett ATA has been our constant and we are grateful for the sense of normalcy.

There aren’t enough great things to say about Bartlett ATA! My son started in late 2019 at 6 years old. He has focus issues, and it’s hard to keep him interested in things, especially for a long period of time. He absolutely loves going here! The staff has been incredible! I’ve seen them take the most timid of kids, and turn them into confident butterflies!

She’s learned a lot in the short time she’s there thanks to her awesome instructors! Every time my husband or myself take her, we are always welcome and made to feel like a part of the ATA family!

Am glad I decided to take advantage of the 4 week special and see how my daughter would do. From the first day during the orientation the instructor was very good at making my daughter feel comfortable and making it fun for her. We signed up to be full member day one. The confidence she’s build in just the first month has been tremendous.

My grandkids and I have been students at Bartlett ATA for almost 3 years. All of us have earned our Black Belts and continue to move up the ranks.I have a Martial Arts training from another disciplen, so I knew what I was looking for in a school, and Bartlett ATA exceeded my expectations.Master Rosa and his talented team of instructors have a perfect combination of instruction that can teach students at any level and at any age.They are extremely professional while creating a family environment. Youre never just a student in a class. They make sure they pay attention to you first as a person and second as a Martial Artist.The level of detail Master Rosa gives to every aspect of the school is something any business can learn from. He is passionate at what he does and wants all his students to reach their fullest potential in and outside the school.We have made many friends since joining and spend time with each other outside the school. We are truly a family.I am proud to be a student under Master Rosa and look forward to continuing my training at Bartlett ATA.

Joining ATA was probably the best decision we could have made as a family. Not only does it help my 5 year old with focus and manners, it teaches him respect. Were still working on the self-control. He loves the classes, and so do I. My son is watching me train and push myself as well. Not only has it helped my weight, energy, and arthiritis, its helped me find my own self-confidence. The instructors are always on point - knowledgeable and encouraging. They are phenomenal with my kid, acknowledging his successes and instructing him when he loses focus. The classes are fun and challenging and push you in all the right ways. I cannot reccommend them enough and the connection it has brought our family.

I have been a member of Bartlett ATA for 5 years now. I can honestly say that belonging to this organization has enhanced my life. I have made new friends over the years who have become like family. Furthermore, at age 51, I am in the best shape of my life. Becoming a member of our school will help you make lifestyle changes that you probably thought you couldnt do or never dreamed of because when you enter through the doors of Bartlett ATA, you will be greeted by a group of like minded people with one common goal- TO GET BETTER! One of the most important attributes of our organization is that our instructors provide us with quality training and this training carries over into our desire to compete. The training we gain, in my opinion, helps to strengthen us physically, mentally, and spiritually. Our training also translates into our school being of the top schools in ATA for tournament competition. Our master, Tony Rosa, is part of athlete development for team USA so we get a chance to participate in seminars from some of the best competitors and instructors in sparring and combat weapon sparring. Another great feature of our school is that we not only do well in individual competition, but we also compete in team sparring. Master Rosa also plays an important role in the ongoing development of that aspect of ATA. Over the years Ive seen our school build a brand. We are known and respected nationally. Lastly, I cannot stress enough how important it is to have quality instructors and staff guiding us in our endless pursuit of training in taekwondo. We have the opportunity to constantly be trained by higher ranks ranging from 4th degree black belt to 8th degree black belt. Not all schools have this many high ranks instructing students. I think this helps to propel those who want to get better move from good to great! I plan to train at Bartlett ATA until my body says otherwise.-Fredric Garner2nd degree black belt2018 World Champion Traditional Sparring

The owner Senior Master Stevens and Lead Instructor Master Rosa lead an outstanding staff who excell with their diverse body of students. From very young children to adults to special needs students, everyone is welcomed and challenged to become something more than they were before. As a student of martial arts for over 25 yrs, it is rare to fine such an environment and Bartlett is fortunate to be home to this ATA.

We purchased a Groupon for Bartlett ATA so that my kids can try it out and they have been hooked ever since. I also signed up so that i can do it with them and has been the best bonding experience ever. The staff is excellent in working with kids as well as adults. The program has really helped to turn my kids from followers into leaders.

Do you have kids that are really rowdy??? Do you often find yourself repeating the same instructions over and over and over again? Or maybe you have a child that is extremely shy and won’t say “hi” to their own reflection?Well.....you need Bartlett ATA!!!! I have 4 kids (3-9yrs old) enrolled in ATA. They all have very different personalities and yet ATA meets all of their needs.The rowdy twins have more self control. My shy little girl prances around confidently. And my “nerdy” child is now using his newfound leadership skills! YOU MUST COME AND SEE WHAT THEY ARE ALL ABOUT!!!!!

Pros: top-notch instructors and staff, clean facility, family friendly environment, flexible schedulingCons: makes every other dojo look mediocreThere’s a reason why people love this place and for all the 5 star reviews. Master Rosa and his hand-picked team of instructors do what they do out of a true love for martial arts. Always welcoming and ready to answer any questions or help with training, they truly make you one of their team from the moment you step in the door. Classes are available 6 days a week so it’s easy to find a schedule that fits your busy lifestyle and still have time to hone your skills. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner, they will help you achieve your goals and push yourself to new heights. This place crushes every other dojo in town and it’s because of the people and their passion for what they do.
