The American Taekwondo Association (ATA) is the premier North American organization dedicated to the martial arts discipline of taekwondo, and is the founding organization of other international affiliates that include the World Traditional Taekwondo Union (WTTU) and the Songahm Taekwondo Federation (STF). Counting both the U.S. and worldwide, our organizations have over 1,500 independently owned and operated licensed schools and clubs, and have registered over one million students since the ATA's inception in 1969.
Our instructors combine excellent student instructor ratios with state of the art training facilities. This has helped establish ATA schools and clubs as the leaders in the martial arts industry. Each instructor is a graduate of an instructor program that represents more than thirty years of research and development. He or she will be with you every step of the way to help you reach your individual goals (and maybe even reach some new goals you never before thought possible).

Adult Martial Arts: Whether you're interested in physical fitness, self-defense, or even just an athletic social outlet, our Adult Martial Arts school here at Ames ATA is a safe and positive environment.

My 10 year old son has enjoyed his taekwondo experience. He has been with the Ames ATA Black Belt Academy from white belt to red belt. He has taken the sport very serious and enjoys learning new techniques. The sport of taekwondo has helped my son gain confidence and self-control both in class and at home.

Our son’s martial arts skills have improved immensely, and we get compliments on his leadership skills all the time!

Ever since joining the kickboxing class, I have felt healthier and stronger than ever. The classes have been perfect to help me get in shape, stay in shape, and provide the challenge I need to push myself even further.

Kickboxing classes have helped me to gain strength and tone my body. The 45 minute, instructor-led, intense workout with kickboxing and weight training is really great for cardio and strength.

Krav Maga has instilled so much self-confidence in me, not only physically, but in all aspects of my life. This class provides essential training to develop the physical attributes necessary to succeed in combat, as well as the opportunity for mental confidence and awareness. That confidence and awareness can be used in all parts of life and has made a huge difference in mine.
~ Krav Maga Student
The Krav Maga class at ATA has had a monumental change on my life - both physically and mentally. I feel empowered to know that not only could I protect myself if I needed to, but those I love. I am also encouraged by those in the group to push myself to limits I did not think possible and find myself both mentally and physically stronger than I ever thought I could be.

This place is awesome! Both my 5 and 7 year olds love it. I love how flexible it is. The instructors are amazing and have a great way with the kids. My kids have really responded.
