SEE HOW LAKEWOOD ATA STACKS UP
Explore our comparison between martial arts and traditional sports to see why martial arts could be a more beneficial choice for your child's overall growth.
Traditional Sports
Less Emphasis on Personal Growth
Traditional sports sometimes focus more on physical prowess and less on the holistic development of a child.
Potential for Exclusion
Team selections and competitive play can sometimes lead to exclusion of less skilled players.
Overemphasis on Winning
A strong focus on winning can overshadow the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship.
Limited Individual Attention
In team sports, individual attention from coaches can be limited.

"We absolutely love Master Black’s ATA! I’ve been bringing my kids for years and liked it so much, I started training, too! Master Black and the instructors teach effective skills and techniques, with decades of experience behind them. They meet students where they are at to teach the skills required for each belt rank. They are also a competitive gym with group demo teams and frequent tournaments, allowing kids tons of opportunities to earn medals and titles. I absolutely recommend this gym for anyone, kids and adults, who want to become a taekwondo martial artist"

"Taekwondo here has been life-changing for our daughter. She’s grown in confidence, learned respect and honor, and gained the ability to defend herself after a tough incident at school. I never imagined she’d love it this much or excel the way she has—we couldn’t be prouder! Master Black’s dedication and passion for her students is unmatched, and we’re so grateful for the impact she’s had on her life."

"We started looking for a school when my son was four and wanted to be a ninja. In all honesty we decided to try here because of the reviews. To say it was a good decision is an understatement…4 years later we are still here and loving it. Master Black brings amazing energy and passion for her students to succeed, her instructors are amazing and bring the same energy too. We love it here and would not go anywhere else."
