SKILLS THAT YOUR CHILD WILL ACQUIRE

The aim/priority is to concentrate on all the personal development skills that mostly children lack.

CONFIDENCE

Having the ability to tackle any physical encounter (e.g. bullying) with tactics, definitely elevates confidence.

FITNESS

Increased physical activity and mind-body trainings ensure physical as well as mental well being.

FOCUS

Daily drills that require precise movements and concentration gradually sharpen focus.

LISTENING

Martial Arts relies on the art of communication to absorb instructions and understand the opponent's movements. Listening skills are used and hence are sharpened the most in this regard.

DISCIPLINE

Our structured curriculum helps children develop self-control and the ability to follow through on commitments.

SELF-CONFIDENCE

Students learn to believe in themselves and their abilities through consistent training and achievement.

From Quiet and Shy to Strong and Confident—Howard’s ATA Has Been Amazing for Our Daughter!

"We absolutely love Howard’s ATA Martial Arts in O’Fallon! The instructors are truly amazing—so patient, encouraging, and skilled at working with young kids. (Shout outs to Master Howard, Mr. Howard, Mr. Mccollister, Mr. Good, Ms. Pecheco, Mr. Haug, Mr. Schulte and Mr. White) - you all rock! Since starting in September, our daughter’s confidence and strength have grown tremendously. She started as the quietest one in class and now raises her hand every chance she can to demonstrate and is now one of the loudest! Mrs. Howard and Master Howard are incredibly dedicated to their students, and it shows in every class. We’re so grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on our child, and we highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a supportive and structured martial arts program while still having fun!"

"Howard's ATA is a friendly, family operated business. Master Howard is especially patient with the children, and enjoys teaching, his wife mans the desk, and their 2 sons are fabulous instructors. I have 4 grandsons ages 6-10, a granddaughter age 4, and a daughter who attends classes. I highly recommend this studio. "

"Master & Mrs. Howard are truly amazing individuals. They both are Incredible instructors and care about every single student's success. The Kickboxing class is one of the best workouts ever! I strongly recommend checking this school out for yourself or your child or both! Growing with ATA O'Fallon will encourage discipline, respect, self confidence, self control, etc. I could go on & on. The lifelong benefits are endless. Give them a call or shoot an email!"

"Master Howard, Mrs. Howard and the whole ATA Martial Arts O'Fallon Team are amazing!!!! Our Family loves everything we participate in from the beginner's Tiger class to the women's kickboxing. The facility is nicely set up and all the staff are genuinely caring about everyone. I am recommending everyone to try it out. Kids will love it and Mommy can get a good workout in the Kickboxing sessions, too."

"Howard’s ATA is truly exceptional! It is family owned and operated by such a respectful, skilled family. We feel so grateful to have joined such an amazing team. My son was a shy, not confident child who was interested in being a “ninja”. I had no idea the amount of confidence and skill he would develop. Master Howard, Mrs. Howard and Mr.Corbin Howard and Mrs. Sperry are exceptional. We are excited to see where this journey takes him and we couldn’t be happier that we found Howard’s ATA!"

"My kids have been part of the ATA family for 4 months now. The Howards are amazing with the kids! My boys look forward to going to class every week. If you are looking for a great Martial Arts program, this is it! I have recently started going to the Moms Kickboxing and Fitness class which is an awesome workout!! I am hooked!"
