I tried a number of martial arts studios in the area after deciding to learn self-defense. ATA was the first one where I felt immediately at home. I took one Krav Maga class, got hooked and have been coming 3-5 times a week for over a year now.
Mr. Esposito and Mr. Moraes create a welcoming environment with a tough love that pushes you to reach goals you never knew you were capable of. Before starting here, I had never even thrown a punch. Now, I feel I can protect myself in any situation. That was all I initially came for. What I also got was a second family and instructors who are so entertaining you almost forget the incredible workout you're also getting in ("not really!"). You'd be hard-pressed to find a more accepting, encouraging bunch anywhere.
