“ATA Martial Arts provides an exceptional environment for children to grow both physically and emotionally. The structured classes are thoughtfully designed, ensuring each student gets the attention and guidance they need to succeed. Grand Master Caruso, Mrs Caruso and the ATA Murrysville Instructors are not only highly skilled but also deeply committed to fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere. They genuinely care about each child’s development, taking the time to understand their individual needs.

The emphasis on core values like respect, humility, patience, and leadership skills are woven into every lesson, helping children build strong character, while advancing in the art of Taekwondo.

The classes are well-paced and engaging, encouraging children to push their limits while instilling a sense of discipline and self-control.

My daughter has been taking classes here for the past three years, has earned her 1st Degree Black Belt , has joined their Leadership Program and has become a Junior Instructor. We highly recommend this academy to anyone interested in Taekwondo.“

“Sharie is experienced, passionate and very knowledgeable in the art of martial arts. Her teaching is based on this expertise but she approaches it with patience, kindness and humor. She takes away any kind of intimidation one may have. Highly recommend.“

“The best decision we made for our children was enrolling them. The atmosphere is terrific and the instructors are amazing. The self confidence, respect and confidence they've learned is something we can never thank th school enough for“

“A great gym. Tommy has made a really safe, unique place in that he encourages everyone to develop their own individual style. He's a fantastic teacher and all of his black belts are as well. All of the instruction is top notch. I've been to a lot of different jiujitsu gyms in the Western PA area and this gym is truly special.“

“If you want your child to learn properly while having fun this is the school for you.“

“Owner/ instructor Jeff Contraguerro has decades of experience as a martial arts instructor and has the real-life background as a former bouncer and tough-man winner to back it up.His son and instructor Daniel also has probably over a decade of experience as a martial artist and instructor and the added experience of college wrestling. These are men who are able to talk the talk and walk the walk.The majority of students have been attending for many years, with their loyalty a testament to Jeff and the quality of his teaching. Jeff and Daniel are firm and naturally garner the students' respect while staying caring, supportive, and approachable.Jeff includes regular sparring, grappling, and physical contact between students which I would argue prepares students much better for real-world self defense than most schools who teach non-contact kicking and punching.If you are looking for martial arts training in the area you owe it to yourself or your kids to give Contraguerro a look.“
