ATA Martial Arts of Merrimack Karate for Kids and Self-Defense Classes in Merrimack

I have seen, along with my son's teachers, a huge change. His self esteem has been lifted and is actually helping raise his academic grades. I am receiving daily emails from his teacher, letting me how well he is doing since starting at ATA. Highly recommend!

This is the only Martial Arts studio I have ever been, but I’m glad this is the one I picked! My son has extremely low self-esteem and gets really nervous around people. This place makes you feel like family, the instructor does an amazing job on managing to give each child a little one on one time (even when it’s a big group) if he sees that child isn’t completely getting something. They teach kids healthy competition but at the same time how to be happy and congratulate another person for succeeding! Job well done to everyone there!

Great place. They really care about the kids and reach them; whatever their level or ability. Wonderful environment; always encouraging and positive!

By far the best instruction around! The love for Taekwondo really shows through in each class.

We have 3 boys who take classes here ranging from ages 3-7 and they love it. The instructors are amazing! Always a clean and friendly atmosphere!

I'm writing this review as a former student. I took classes here years ago and received my black belt from Mr. Roy. I was a teenager then and I'm much older now and I have to say that to this day I would not be the person I am had it not been for him and his school. Martial arts can change your life. And to take it from a skilled practitioner who encourages a strong family environment in his school makes the journey that much better. So if you're thinking about giving martial arts a try and you live anywhere near here just walk in for a class, you won't be disappointed.

We have attended 4 different Martial Arts schools. ATA of Amherst is where we drive our son 45 minutes each way to attend karate lessons. There are 2 other ATA schools closer to our home. ATA of Amherst has a balanced environment, just right, to push each student to their personal best.
