The Landgren-Lees are proud of their long history of training the best students in Arizona. In fact, many of the Lee's students have trained at the same location for over 25 years. Students that have trained as children have now grown up to have children of their own and have also enrolled them at Lee's.
In addition to our internationally recognized Karate for Kids program, we offer the Taekwondo for Tiny Tigers program. The Tiger program was developed specifically for preschool age children ages 3 through 6. This program offers children a strong foundation in essential character qualities such as courtesy, respect, and discipline.
There are many reasons for kids to become involved in the martial arts. We have developed a program based on traditional Taekwondo for kids called Karate for Kids. Karate can be a lifelong endeavor that makes a huge contribution to your overall well-being.
The actual physical moves (blocks, strikes, kick) apply directly to self-defense, and your karate kid will also experience safety lessons designed to prevent abduction and molestation and help children manage the schoolyard bully.Children develop confidence when they work in a structured classroom.

Lee's ATA Laveen is amazing. Everyone here at this location, are respectful show discipline, polite, and are very helpful when you need help with something. This is the busiest location but is worth coming here. All or the instructors are incredible and know what they are doing. They encourage discipline and teaching the kids how to transform into future leaders.
I absolutely would recommend coming to this location or any location of Lee's ATA, as all the instructors and students are incredibly helpful and informative. They strive on helping the younger and even the older generation become successful

This is a very well-run academy. It is clean, organized and professional. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable. Every class I have taken there has a clear class planner and has helped me reach my martial arts goals. The variety is good as well. There is definitely a sense of community and pride in the students and their families, which speaks volumes. Would definitely recommend.

My son has been going to Lees's ATA in Laveen since 2017. When my son first started he was so shy and as the weeks went by he started gaining more confidence. He went from shy to making friends with his classmates, having enough confidence to go up infront of the class and show his form. Not only have I seen tremendous growth in my son but have also seen it with all the kids that come in, which is so amazing to see. I am so thankful for all the instructors at the Laveen academy as they do an amazing job at teaching all the different life skills all while also making it fun for the kids.

My daughter is always looking forward to her classes! She is currently in the fight club class with Couch Olivias! She is working on her self-defense and physical conditioning skills along with learning discipline at the same time. My daughter and myself feel safe with their very clean environment which is so important during these times 💖 The staff and Martinez family make you feel so welcomed like your at home! I definitely recommend for everyone to take their kiddos to Lee’s!

My experience at Lee’s ATA Martial Arts has been positive in different aspects. Mrs. Martinez is a very enthusiastic and energetic instructor; she makes the work outs fun and will push her students. She always has more for whoever can handle the extra, like challenges and extra workouts.
The entire team in Laveen is very professional.

My son has been training at this school for nearly 10 years. In addition to teaching him practical self defense skills, he has learned self confidence, courtesy, respect, and so much more. The instructors at this school are great: knowledgeable, encouraging, and disciplined. The ATA is a great organization, and Lee's ATA Martial Arts in Laveen is a great place to get into it!

The instructors and staff at this school have been a critical part of my daughter’s development. She started shy, timid and unsure of herself and through her training is now confident and self disciplined. The staff are encouraging and supportive while pushing her to try new things and better herself, they won’t let her settle. This school has been amazing for my daughter and family!

We are long time members of this location. We value their professionalism and family values. They have taken my child on such a wonderful adventure. He started at 4 and is still attending classes 14 years later. He would not be the wonderful young man he is today without their guidance and instruction. We hope to continue into the distant future. My son went from being a non verbal special needs student to a World Champion, Leadship student and instructor. I can never thank them enough for allowing us to be a part of the Laveen ATA family.

Having no experience in any kind of martial art training, I had no idea what I was getting into. All the staff/instructors are very genuine and caring people. They listen and want to help you succeed at reaching your goals. The facilities are very clean and has a family atmosphere. No matter what level you are at or what your goals are, this is a great place to start!!!!
