Regret going here not only did we pay $252 for only one month. It was a horrible experience with them. The lady who I signed up with had horrible customer service skills and is very ignorant. At first it was great! The first karate class our child did was a lot of fun, it went amazing and they were so helpful and patient teaching our child and the other children there. There were multiple people helping the instructor teach the kids so that was nice.It all went Bad when I contact them and told them we are satisfied with just the one month and we did not want to do another month. Also when we paid we only paid to do the one month. They claim you can do month to month but when I went to tell them that they said I have to give them a 30 day notice which makes no sense because that means I would have to notify them when I sign up that I also want to cancel. How are we supposed to know if we want to continue going to the class or not if we have to tell you the first day when we sign up we want to cancel it. We don’t know if our child is going to like the class or not or if we’re going to like it or not. Or what’s going to happen in life if we’re going be able to do more or not and unfortunately due to certain circumstances we were not able to move forward.They ended up charging me $175 for the next month even though we did not want to do another month and our Child did not want to do another month and we had unplanned circumstances happen that they don’t care about! Where both I, my husband and father got Covid and there was no way we were going to be able to make it to karate and no way we were going to be selfish and get anyone sick!Even then they will not give you a refund. Unfortunately I lost my father and I’m not in a good headspace to be able to make it to karate when I have more important things to worry about. Even if you’re on your deathbed they will not refund you!Before this happened after the first class of karate the rest of the class were horrible they keep having different people come in stead of the same ones that did so good. They also started getting lazy with the kids and not helping them do the correct moves.I highly don’t recommend.

Great place for the whole family to get involved in martial arts. Started as an activity for my daughter to do with friends, and now our whole family of 5 loves to go. Super knowledgeable instructors that are passionate about Taekwondo, holding many World titles themselves. They know how to train champions. For someone cheap like me, it can seem expensive. But Ive looked into other recreational and competitive sports and gyms, and with the whole family involved, we find its worth it. Family Martial Arts also offers sales throughout the year that make it an even better value. Truly it is a great investment, has been great for our kids, and a great workout for parents too. Not only are we improving physically, but kids are developing as leaders and practicing core values as well. We feel like the environment is inviting and have developed friendships with instructors, staff, and other students that truly feels like family.

It was great at first but then they charge me an extra month even tho I didn’t want to continue the class. The fact that you guys do month to month but have to give a 30 day notice makes no sense. You guys are very misleading and unfair to parents when it comes to people going through a hard time.

This is a fantastic taekwondo studio and I recommend going there.First of all, the instructors here are very kind and helpful. Secondly, theyare very good at teaching you how to defend yourself. Lastly, you get agreat workout when yo show up for your class. This is how Family Martialarts is a great studio.

We had our son there for a little over a year and it was a great experience for all of us, instructors are great and very dedicated to the kids, its a great after school activity and really good for the kids to learn self discipline, respect and stay active. Well be back soon to enroll again.

All my kids and myself have been training with the Erdmans for the past 7 years. We have earned our black belts and thoroughly enjoy learning and training there. We’ve made lifelong friendships with some of the families here and helped us have an amazing community for us. We say “A family that kicks together sticks together” and that rings true here.

This is an amazing school. Very clean nice and spacious. I enjoy seeing my daughter training and learning new things. Special shout out to Noah Mercado for having so much patience with the younger kids and being so detail oriented. This school is definitely a 5 star school. Thank you to all the instructors there.

We could not be happier with our decision to enroll our son at Family Martial Arts. The entire staff does a wonderful job of teaching the students respect and discipline while still building a family atmosphere. You can tell they care deeply about their students.

We have been members of this studio for a little over 2 years. In that time, our child has learned discipline, responsibility, and has enjoyed the challenges that taekwondo gives her. The staff is knowledgeable, patient, and quite honestly, the best at what they do. Although at first glance it may be pricey for some families, the value is more than there. If my child wants, they can take 6 days of classes per week. The times of the classes are geared towards all parents, including working parents. This is the best decision we could have made for our child!

If you’re looking for a fun activity that will help your kids learn discipline and get in shape I’d steer away from this place. There are other Taekwondo dojo’s and realistically you want to be associated with a dojo that is in the World Taekwondo Federation so the accreditation is world wide.Let’s start with dojo culture. I have an 8 year old, 5 year old and 3 year old.My 8 year old is able to listen and pay attention as one would expect.My 5 year old and 3 year old have the comparable attention span of kids their age but the main instructor isn’t very good with handling young children. They try to brute force and push through instruction and if the student is having issues with attention, public humiliation and exclusion is an acceptable practice to teach them to pay attention or to stand still.After Halloween 2020 our family stopped going as frequently and after thanksgiving 2020, classes weren’t readily offered. Around Christmas and new year the school was completely shut down for a couple weeks but the amount charged didn’t decrease.After the new year I let them know I wanted to discontinue my membership. I was 4 days into January and they wouldn’t let me cancel given my circumstances.Even after that, they still charged my card months after.Overall this place has poor instruction, is poorly ran and will disregard a stop payment request and charge an account anyways.

🥋 so proud of my kid. We brought him and his brother into the karate studio in September of 2017 and were welcomed with open arms. 3 years later and some great times and now he’s a black belt. He’s worked hard and it’s paid off. As far as I know, he’s the first black belt in the history of our family. The highlights of this year by far was him getting state champ and now his black belt. I can’t wait to see what else he can do this year. Thank you Bobby Erdman for opening a studio with the best instructors around, and helping Luke achieve his goal. Thank you Noah G Mercado for putting up with Luke’s questions and nonstop talking. Your patience and guidance did not go unnoticed, without your commitment to the students I don’t know if Luke would be as accomplished as he is. Thank you Zoe N Mealey for cracking the whip when Luke would slack. This studio and instructors will always have a special place in my heart and memories that will last a lifetime. Family ATA Martial Arts is the best choice for any kid and family to learn martial arts.

Im not one to write reviews and Im not very good with words, but with that said I dont think there are words to explain what Family ATA of Henderson has done for my daughter & I. We have been at this studio for almost 4yrs now. I feel we have been blessed to be a part of such an amazing family and sport. The owners are truly first class & our instructor is one of the best instructors in this organization & sport & if you’re even considering or know anyone who may be considering a martial arts school before you go anywhere else you must check out this school first.It saddens me to read the negative reviews on here but I guess you can’t make everyone happy.*The review about being a student here & then going to be a student somewhere else is totally false. We’ve been students here when this place was only 9 months old and I pretty much know everyone here but have never known that person who left that review. As for the reviews about a business just wanting your money, well every business wants your money how do you think people running a business providing a service to you pay their bills? You don’t go to the grocery store hungry with no money and leave a bad review saying don’t go to that store because you went there hungry & they wouldn’t give you food because all they want is your money.... just like any sport, music class, dance class etc. there will always be fees for different programs, tournaments, testings, uniforms, recitals, games etc. it’s all part of it. It’s all on how serious and involved you want to be.

Keeping my child busy with activities is important. Martial arts is reward based , kids love this and strive to succeed. All staff members are excellent. Instructors make it very fun, make sure all kids in class are learning, as well as teaching life skills. Learning the life skills is most important to me, and my son is motivated to succeed.

This place is great! The teachers are so patient and understanding. Mr. Mercado especially has been so great with our son. Im always so amazed at how well he motivates the young kids in the class and so patient at keeping them focused. Excercise, discipline, motivation, confidence, life skills: I would definitely recommend ATA.

Family ATA is a fantastic experience for the whole family to enjoy. They have top of the line instructors and an amazing facility to enhance your experience. It is a fun and interactive way to spend your time and to grow and develop as a person and as a martial artist. I have had different experiences at other martial arts facilities and this is by far the best that it gets!

This is the best karate instructor in town! We love the family vibe we get whenever we come in. The instruction is easy to follow and personal. Students in this school achieve world titles at a really good rate so the training is near perfect.

Handled things very unprofessionally. As a family establishment you would think they would be more understanding and accommodating. This place is very generic and basic, providing a super limited class schedule. For the ridiculous amount of money they charge you would think they would offer far more. Go somewhere somewhere else and get more bang for your buck.

Family ATA has been wonderful. They teach more than Taekwondo The students are expected to keep good grades, and be leaders. Master E and Mr. Mercado do a great job teaching and training, they somehow are able to hold the kids accountable and push them all while making it fun and praising them when they do well. It’s a wonderful balance. This is a commitment....... if your child does ANY extra curricular activities it’s going to cost money. We look at this as an investment. Our daughter is learning more than taekwondo. She is learning that hard work and practice pay off. And not everyone gets a medal. They teach great sportsmanship. Family ATA has a food drive and a toy drive, so the kids are also learning kindness and charity. These are real life lessons. I am glad we found Family ATA. I can’t thank Master E and Mr. Mercado enough for the love and patience they show my daughter. She has more confidence than ever and we both have made great friends!

Extremely disappointed in our experience here. One week into signing up for classes, we decided that this place just wasnt for us. They have an EXTREMELY limited class schedule and no matter how we rearranged our schedule we could not make it work. As I was just put on bed rest and my husband is now the sole driver of the family right now, we couldnt make it to enough classes to justify spending our money here (we only attended two classes total). We called every day, multiple times per day, for four days trying to get ahold of someone and never could. Finally I emailed them asking for my money back for the remainder 3/4 of the month that we would not be attending, and felt the response I got was careless. I tried to plead my case and get my money back and was completely ignored... never heard another word--very unprofessional and rude to treat paying customers like that, especially considering the crazy amount of upfront money ($340+) we invested into this. I am unimpressed with the way the entire situation was handled and would not recommend that anyone risk losing their money here the way we did. Also, if they invite you in for a trial class, they really mean that theyll show you two karate moves in the corner of a small office. My advice: keep searching for a place that respects you and your money.

The Erdmans are amazing! They put the Family in Family ATA. Family ATA is hands down the best martial arts studio in all of Vegas! They are dedicated to their students and teaching and instilling discipline and values into your children. All of the instructors are amazingly amazing!

Master Erdman is an amazing, passionate instructor who genuinely cares about his students, families, and instructors. We love this establishment for the values it teaches our children. The respect we see at home from the teachings learned here are incredible. We highly recommend this place if you want your kids to learn self defense, along with integrity, perseverance, and respect.

My whole family loves AtA in Henderson, nv. We were previously at a old school and i descided it wasnt the best for my kids as there was more playing then actual learning. After finding ata we were asked to do a trial class. Right after my kids begged to return stating how much they enjoyed the instruction as i was very much pleased at how much control and seriousness was seen in each kid as well as how friendly the staff and other parents were. The class schedule is perfect cause they offer classes everyday and if permitted my kids would want to attend daily. I have watched their interest in taekwondo peak and their strength in what is taught grow so much. They have even offered myself and my husband free classes so we can get out there with our kids. I cant wait fo see how far our family goes with ATA taekwondo

My son has been involved with American Taekwondo Association (ATA) for 10 years now. When my wife and I first signed him up at age 5, we took the whole experience as one big grain of salt. We werent going to sign up for tournaments, he was just going to go take the classes. Learn some of that karate stuff. Keep the bullies off of him at school and such. We resisted the leadership classes and buying equipment until we knew for sure this was what our son wanted to do. The full equipment bag is a shock to the system if you go that way and you are new to this. You know what though? If you play baseball, golf, football, tennis, gymnastics, basketball, there is equipment involved and those sports are really expensive. You will sign up for taekwondo, pay about $150 month, purchase equipment, namely sparring gear and weapons over time and if you dont treat this like a daycare, your kid may actually like whats going on. Family ATA is our third school because of circumstance. Our family has know (of) Master Erdman for a very long time. We had some contact over the years, but when we found out he bought our taekwondo school, we were ecstatic! He really didnt know our son, but Master Erdman took him in and took our sons skills to an unbelievable level. Not only is there basic taekwondo, there are self defenses, warrior combos (punching combos),you learn how to use traditional Korean weapons. Theres extreme martial arts where your kid can learn flips and tricks. This is not just a school with people running around karate chopping each other. There are many different skill levels having 9 color belts before the black belt level. And you just dont walk in and receive a black belt. You have to earn it. Yes there are testing fees, which does not go in the instructors pocket, it goes to register the next belt with the ATA. Ive seen all kinds of reviews where people seem to think that the instructors are only out for money, and that couldnt be further from the truth. Honestly you want your martial arts instructor to be doing well financially. Otherwise, your martial arts school would probably wind up closing and you would be out more money than if you were to pay the monthly fees and go along with the program for your contractual time. In addition if you are mom or dad and you are complaining about paying monthly fees especially in front in front your child, he/she is going to want to quit. Bottom line is if you are not prepared to put your child into something as awesome as family ATA Martial Arts in Henderson Nevada, maybe you should go play soccer. Otherwise, come speak to Master Erdman or one of his staff members and learn about what great things your child can be involved in at Family ATA Martial Arts. Because of Master Erdman my son is a four-time world champion in ATA taekwondo and a straight A student.

Ive been training and working with Mr. Erdman for the past 3 years. He has not only become a trusted friend but a great mentor and business ally. Mr. Erdman and his staff are truly passionate about their craft. They develop many champions, instructors, & community leaders. I reached out to his team to help me with my personal training and for my students who compete on the top level. Mr. Erdman has taking a lot of his free time to fly out to California to share his knowledge with my team. Im very appreciative of his constant support and guidance.If you looking for a top notch program in the Henderson/Las Vegas area than do your family a favor and check out Family ATA and see what Im talking about.Thanks Mr. Erdman for everything and thank you to Mrs. Erdman for letting him come to train us so much in California!

All they want is your money they dont care about the kids my kids try to do everything to be part of the school but they were crushed when they couldnt pay to be in leadership I took my kids here thinking it was a good school and I live by the air force base trying to get my kids out of school at 330 and trying to be there for classes every day my kids felt that the teacher didnt care cause we didnt have the money to put them in leadership my kids said the school didnt have any integrity or value if thats all it was about the money!!
