SEE HOW WASHINGTON ATA STACKS UP
Explore how martial arts compares to traditional sports and why it may better support 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.
Washington ATA

Promotes Respect and Listening
Children learn to respect instructors and peers, developing better listening and social skills.
What Sets Us Apart
Our exclusive educational content developed specifically for our students
Learn Goal-Setting Skills
Belt testing provides an excellent physical and mental exercise for adults to improve their goal-setting skills. Your self-esteem will continue to rise with each accomplishment, as you watch your hard work pay off.
Improve Focus and Self-Control
Complex physical activities such as martial arts have proven to strengthen the brain's neural networks, helping adults improve their focus and reduce stress levels. This can be a great deterrent against depression and other mental health issues.
Build COURAGE
The excitement and sentiments you feel when sparring with a partner in front of your instructor and classmates are the same you feel when you are asked to give an important presentation at work, approach your boss for a promotion, or ask a potential partner on a date. Your confidence will reach new heights and you will realize you have what it takes to accomplish anything!

"Mrs. Schaefer and her team are top notch people and instructors. I’ve taken classes myself and so has my son. They teach life skills not only for the classroom but to take into the home and everyday life. From the forms, to the weapons, to sparring & additional opportunities like tournaments/seminars, this dojo is great for fitness and fun! Hands down the best dojo in town!"

"Mrs. Schaefer and Mr. Fowler are phenomenal at what they do! They are kind, patient, and excellent teachers to their students. Since my son has began classes he has become more willing to try again after he fails, has better self esteem, and is showing more respect in our home. We are SO thankful for ATA Washington MO!"
