From the reviews
We have been to several martial arts schools in the Omaha area and Gretna ATA is by far the best! Our son has become more confident and is always a leader at school and in other activities he participates in. Master Miller is exceptional with kids and the classes are always upbeat and positive.
Fantastic school for martial arts! Ryan Miller has such a way with the kids. So respectful, kind hearted, and dedicated in what he teaches. You can really tell he loves what he does. He takes pride in instructing.
I have had my 6 year old son in ATA Tigers for 8 months and he simply loves it. Even with the young age of the tigers, Mr. Miller does a great job keeping it structured and fun at the same time. Additional to learning the forms, Mr.
Apex Martial Arts is truly a gem. I felt welcomed and supported. The instructors are incredibly experienced and patient, taking time to explain techniques clearly and meet you where you’re at—no ego, no pressure. What really sets them apart is how inclusive and women-friendly the environment is.
New to taekwondo? Start at APEX Martial Arts
APEX Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at APEX Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
