Rodriguez is AMAZING! Great instructors, great atmosphere. They really want to make sure the kids really understand the concept of the moves. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking to boost their childs confidence while giving them the tools to defend themselves in any situation.

We recently enrolled our grandson in the Tiger program and he is absolutely over the moon about the class. Mr. Richie is patient and clearly shows how much he loves what he is doing and cares about his students. It is a very positive environment and teaching the children discipline and respect for use in their everyday lives.

We love Rodriguez ATA. This is a family run business and they truly make you feel like one of the family. Mr. Richie is amazing at giving each kid individual attention in a group setting to help them improve and learn. He has unbelievable patience and keeps the kids focused while still keeping it fun. I am so pleased with the confidence and discipline my daughter has gained since she started a year ago.

We love the fun environment of Rodriguez ATA! They welcomed us with open arms when we moved and transferred ATA schools. I also love the extra conditioning and strength training my kids receive here. They’re growing more and more in their training. Mr Richie and his family are so kind and we enjoy being apart of their ATA Family. They also have a really clean school that’s safe but not overly sterile and cold.

My son has been going to Rodriguez ATA since the beginning of 2018. We really appreciate the family-owned atmosphere as well as the friendly encouragement from both staff and other students and families. This school is a great mix of discipline and positive messages along with learning and fun. We LOVE the Rodriguez family. Great experiences - we plan to go for a long time.

Me and my kids have actively been training here for almost two years and are constantly impressed with the gym. In 2020, we had a lot of challenging things to overcome and they did an amazing job keeping the gym a safe place to train while continuing to offer other options to keep people learning in difficult times. We look forward to training here for many more years to come.

This family is a Highland Village Treasure. The place is fantastic and has a friendly atmosphere. My son Grayson has Cerebral Palsy and Tae Kwon Duo along with his therapy has improved his quality of life and balance immensely. Would highly recommend them everyday and twice on Sunday!!!!

Great family owned martial arts school. Great instructors who the kids and parents love and respect! Both my girls have been training for around 9 months and just received their green Belts. Everyday when they get home from school they look forward to class and are averaging 4 classes a week and really excited to begin the sparring phase of their training and compete in yheir first tournament at ATA worlds in june. As a parent its been a joy watching their ability and confidence grow in such a short period of time! Really looking forward to seeing what the future holds for them.Only regret I have is.... not becoming members sooner!

We signed up our son last year at 8 years old. He continues now 1 year later and loves every minute of it. Instructors are top notch. My wife and I joined this year in the adult class. I highly recommend checking this school out. They are now an extension of family!

Review №17

We have been at the Rodriguez ATA Martial Arts Academy since January 2018. We could not be more delighted with this studio. (To be fair we do not have any experience with another studio to compare.) The instructors, Richie & David, are truly fantastic with the kids. They are very encouraging and get the children to strive for goals and work hard. Ive seen a big difference in my son since hes started. He feels proud about his hard work in class and at competitions, is learning leadership skills, and how to teach lower ranking belts. Since its a family run studio we have really grown to appreciate Felix and Betty (Richie & Davids parents) for all that they do to help the studio be successful. They truly feel like family to us now. Also, I like how they do the forms so that the kids are learning correct technique and not just rushing through. Since weve been going they have started a homeschool class on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons that have been a fun mix of ages, belts, and skill levels. We highly recommend this studio to anyone we know and the friends that have started their children here have been very pleased also.

Ive known Richie and David for many years now. I have always seen their incredible talent, their passion and their respect for martial arts. When Richie first opened his school I was one of his first students and it was a BLAST! He knew exactly what to do to help anyone learn and retain. Watching the Rodriguez brothers practice their skills is exciting and quite jaw dropping. I think this school is the best for all ages! Especially if you have youngsters starting. They are very good at reminding (and staying true to it themselves) to use the talent in an appropriate and respectful way, a way to protect yourself, learn disciple and motivation and have fun!!! I highly highly recommend Rodriguez ATA Martial Arts Academy.

The Rodriguez family is very humble and professional. The knowledge of martial arts practice carries out into a lifestyle. A mind set. Seeing the growth in confidence, precision and consciousness, and strength in the kids and adults that practice at this academy is something to experience. Very family friendly vibes and lots of respect shared all around. Thank you for all you guys do and share with us.

My 12-year-old son has practiced at Rodriguez ATA for 3 years and we love it. Richie and David are outstanding instructors. They are kind and patient, but also challenge their students to continuously improve. The studio has a family feel, and I appreciate that my son has learned not only martial arts skills, but also personal values through the lessons the Rodriguez family teaches and the morals they model in all that they do.

Rodriguez ATA has been a wonderful environment for my two children. They have been taught discipline and respect for others. They both have gained self confidence and enjoy competing with new friends from all over the world. The team at Rodriguez ATA have shown a real interest in my childrens development teaching them skills that will benefit them throughout their life.

We have had an amazing experience here. The instructors are very knowledgeable and patient. They put attention to every single student and encourage every kid to be respectful and patient with the others. We visited several places in the area before making a decision and we are sure that Rodriguez ATA Martial Arts Academy was the best choice.

Review №27

Our son, Dane, has been attending Rodriguez ATA for about a year now. Aside from his progress in the class, I have been impressed from the beginning with the family atmosphere and the commitment to the well being of the students and their development, not just in martial arts, but as individuals. Richie and David both possess a natural ability to gently but firmly correct the younger kids in a way that cant be taught, and also clearly have the teaching skills and talent to develop the more advanced juniors and adults. And when you add in the rest of the family, Felix, Betty, and Melanie, you will not find a nicer group of folks to deal with.

This family-owned school teaches with a healthy blend of instruction, discipline, and a strong motivation to improve upon one’s self. When I first looked for a school for my daughter, all I was looking for was basic self-defense. She found not only this, but a team who encourages her to be the best parts of herself.

Rodriguez is a family run ATA Taekwondo studio that is amazing. This family has a passion for this martial art, their students and their success. They instill confidence, discipline, respect & integrity in their students making this a well rounded and balanced experience for all. As our daughter attains each belt and the sparring experience from the ATA tornamwnts we become increasingly more comfortable that she will more likely than not, be ready to defend herself in this tough world. Several of the fathers are now training as well. Another village to help us teach and keep our daughter safe.Her parents

This family owned Ata is an amazing place. Amazing staff , teachers. We tried 2weeks class for our 7year old who was not interested in martial arts, glad we did as after 1st week of class he is showing interest in learning more. Now we are planning & looking forward on a long term. I would like to mention Mrs Betty she is an amazing person & very kind, patient & look after this Ata so nicely. No wonder they have more students. Also the instructor Mr. Richard have lot of enthu & patience to teach the young kids. I would recommend anyone who want to join this martial arts institute.

This company is one of the few that i can say is truly the best out there. We have been treated like family since the day we walked in. My daughter has achieved many qualities during her time here. She has learned discipline, patience,multiple form techniques, and a variety of self defense moves taught at her level. Most of all the self confidence that children need to go through life.To top it off, we are looking forward to the after school program!Thanks to the Rodriguez crew, we look forward to many more years to come-Justin Acker

My son has been a student at the school since February 2014. He loves taking Tae Kwon Do from Mr. Richie and Mr. David. They are great teachers not only from a technical perspective but they also display all the character traits in which they teach. The entire family is great to work with. They care about all the kids and take pride in the service in which they provide. They treat you like family! I would highly suggest you visit the school if you are considering an extra curricular activity for you or your children. Thank you Rodriguez family! We are glad to be a part of such a great school.

I can only speak about the Jiu Jitsu classes, but this is a great place to train! You can see the instructors REALLY CARE about all of their students. We transferred from another school that closed down and are totally satisfied with our experience at Rodriguez ATA. Both of our sons are learning and growing in their Jiu Jitsu abilities. I attended adult classes for awhile and then my schedule changed, otherwise I would still be there. We plan on being here for a long time! I would definitely recommend this school to anyone (Adults or Children) that want to learn Jiu Jitsu.*** update 3/11/2020 *** My boys have continued in the BJJ program and learned and have grown to love BJJ. My daughter signed up for Taekwondo and is really enjoying the classes. Mr. Richie is patient and very involved with the students. Looks like we hit a homerun finding this academy!! Looking forward to many years of Martial arts here! Thank you Rodriguez Family!!!

We are lucky to have this school in our community. David and Richie are natural teachers and deserving mentors. I have had two kids in their school for over a year now and I cannot say enough good things. My oldest is in both the tae kwon do and jujitsu programs. The combination of useful defensive techniques and compassionate and disciplined instructions provides them with tools useful in many aspects of their lives. It takes a village and I am blessed to have them in my village. I have recently started the adult program and can say the depth of knowledge they have will challenge me endlessly. The work out I get is challenging, interesting and practical. The family atmosphere is remarkable as well. It is truly a family business. You can tell they are in this business for all the right reasons as evidenced by their business practices. No Contracts required.

Having received my 2nd Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do in 1991, I would highly recommend Rodriguez ATA Martial Arts Academy for anyone looking for instruction in Martial Arts. The Rodriquez family, who owns and operates the facility, definitely know Martial Arts and its instruction. The facility is family friendly and its apparent that the well-being of its students is of the utmost importance to the staff. The facilities are clean and well run and the business practices are fair and customer friendly.
