I am proud to belong to this ATA and currently attend the teen / adult classes. I appreciate the skills I have acquired at the hands of these Fierce instructors! They know what they're doing and they have their hands full with a full class. However, this does not really alter the dynamic of hands-on and personal instruction I believe that I have received. You get what you put in--like all things in life. I have attended one tournament and one belt graduation thus far, and I am very satisfied with my experience at Laveen ATA. This organisation really strives to encourage students, build self-esteem, support increased participation in ATA events, and motivate you to push yourself to your best! Plus, you will get one "mean" workout LOL, relieve stress, and have more energy...Not to mention incredible discipline, strength, and skills to defend yourself for safety. What's better than that?! Good choice for me so far--Go and see for yourself!
