My girls have been taking classes here for a couple months now and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. When we first arrived, my oldest cried and refused to step foot on the mat. She has gained so much confidence in the past few months that she is now unafraid to stand in the front, to be the first to try, and most importantly for her, to fail, but then to try again. Her sister is learning to listen, which in my opinion is worth every penny I spend and quite possibly more. Every single instructor has been exceptional. They are patient, compassionate, and always intentional. They critique

We love it! My daughter has been doing it for 2 years and she just tested for her black belt. The structure, discipline, and confidence they instill is amazing. I love the fact that if your acting out at home or school, and/or not doing good in school they do not allow you to test. We couldn’t ask for a better ATA family! ❤️

ATA - Performance Martial Arts is by far the best martial arts school in Valdosta, or the surrounding area for that matter. Myself and my two children have been attending ATA under the instruction of Master Church for the past several years. All martial arts require hard work, dedication, and discipline and any school can teach you how to punch or kick, what sets PMA apart from the others is the personal attention and instruction provided by Master Church and his son, Mr. Church. I can attest that PMA has helped me form a much stronger bond with my children, something that most other activities

I have known Master Mitchell Church for 30 years. I have known many martial arts instructors but Master Church is by far the best! He has dedicated his entire life to the martial arts and to his students. He promotes the essential qualities that truly shape a person's character. Attributes such as Integrity, Honor, Respect, Loyalty, Humility and Courtesy to all. I have achieved the rank of Sixth Degree Black Belt and have won 17 World Championship titles. None of this would have been achieved without the instruction of Master Church. He is widely respected throughout the United States for his character

Excellent place to learn discipline, respect and other vital life skills. I cannot say enough positive things about Master Mitchell Church and the rest of his wonderful staff. We have been part of his ATA family for over 8 years and our boys have learned and progressed so much. Every child is treated as an individual and pushed to be the best martial artist possible. We would highly recommend Master Mitchell Church and Performance Martial Arts to anyone looking for a place to learn quality martial arts.
