From the reviews

My son is an ATA tiger and absolutely loves coming to class. The facility is clean and the staff are professionals when it comes to training taekwondo to all age groups. They teach the meaning of discipline, “stranger danger”, and self awareness.

★★★★★ — Mike, Aug 2023

We love Horizon ATA! Our son started classes at 4 and has been enthusiastically attending classes since. Mr. Coley and Mr. Clemens are great role models and incredibly patient, even with the younger students.

★★★★★ — Alana, Aug 2023

We love Horizon ATA in Westlake. Two of our children attend and Mr Clemens and Mr Coley are amazing! Our oldest child has autism and they are very accommodating of his needs too. They encourage our children in their martial arts using core life skills such as respect, working with others and discipline.

★★★★★ — Natasha, Aug 2023

Your first taekwondo class at Horizon ATA 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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
