One of our Jr. Instructors (and student) Arthur McCarver is training hard every day to compete at Worlds in July. This will be Mr. McCarver's second time competing on this stage. While at the competition, Mr. McCarver fiercely competed in sparring, weapons, and forms. His hard work paid off when he took 1st place in his level for forms, 2nd in sparring, and finally 3rd place in weapons.

Our son has been taking classes since June 2019 and we could not be happier with his progress! Ms. Cather and her staff go above and beyond and has helped our son develop not only his martial art skills but boosted his confidence and leadership abilities. We would have been totally lost without their guidance and zoom classes during the pandemic. We will be forever grateful to Ms. Cather and her wonderful team. You all are amazing!

I have two children in ATA Bridgeton, both at different belts. The instructors are great about tailoring their teaching methods for different skill levels. My kids’ confidence level have increased immeasurably. They have learned respect and accountability. The instructors, especially the junior instructors are always welcoming, inclusive, and eager to help. I highly recommend ATA Bridgeton, especially if you have a child that might need to come out of their shell a little bit.

I have been a part of this ATA family since 2010. Through the patient and professional instruction from all of the instructors and the leadership of our Chief Instructor Master Joan Cather I have accomplished tasks that I would never had imagine. Through my experience I have reached the level of a second degree blackbelt, as well as becoming a World Champion in forms, weapons, sparring, and combat sparring. I have been able to transfer my Taekwondo teaching experience into my professional life as well. More than gaining Martial Art training I am now part of a family that I know will be there whenever

I was a student there, I don't know how to spell her name but one of the instructors there grabbed my sister's wrists even though my sister said no, and then she tried to gaslight my mom and say it didn't happen. Apparently they aren't teaching us some basic things we are supposed to do anyways. Gonna miss the students there but we're not going back.

My child has been going to ATA in St Ann for a few years and we absolutely love it! My child is disciplined, grounded, respectful. I owe a lot of credit to Ms. Cather and the other instructors. When they say it takes a village to raise your children, they are part of that village. They are tough, set expectations but they are role models, leaders, and encouragers. Thanks Ms. Cather and staff for all your dedication to the students.

My son has grown in SO many ways since training here! It has helped boost his confidence and helped with behavioral struggles as well! All of the instructors here have poured into my son in so many ways so much so that he feels like that studio is a second home!

My 5 year old has been part of this class since July 2011. My wife and I both agree that the instructor is really good at teaching these kids balance, form, to make friends (not enemy's), and she really cares about the kids. I hated the other two taekwondo academies we visited. They were just too rigid. Joan Carter accepts girls too so when my little girl is old enough (2yrs) Ill send her along too. Great for teaching them to respect each other and the people around them.
-Update 2015
Son is doing great! Still working on his forms and getting a good control of his body.
Going to start the 5
