Squaw Peak Taekwondo - ATA

"Squaw Peak ATA has been a great place for my son to practice martial arts. This is a place that feels like an extension of home. Everyone knows each other, everyone is friendly and helpful and the instructors are incredible. They take the time to teach the kids in a positive way that helps them to progress at their own pace. Mark the owner is great at diversifying instruction to accommodate all students who are willing to put in the effort."

"I started out as a student here almost 12 years ago, and Master Gilbride is like family to me at this point. Since becoming an instructor under his guidance, I've seen countless students become not only skilled martial artists but people with better focus, perseverance, and respect for others. As for me personally, I went from being an awkward kid who was out of my comfort zone to a leader who's confident in myself and knows how to understand people's abilities and limits. Going to Squaw Peak ATA has been one of the best experiences of my life, and I can't say enough positive things about it."

"My son has been able to excel in his Taekwondo belt progression with Master Gilbride and the awesome instructors over at Squaw Peak ATA! After 4+ years of attending Squaw Peak ATA, he still looks forward to attending every class. Not only is this a physical outlet, it also teaches respect, discipline and perseverance which helps in every part of life both at school and at home. Master Gilbride is the best of the best and his instructional team is no different. I recommend Squaw Peak ATA to each family we encounter with family members from 3 years old all the way through adulthood!"

"We have been a part of this great local gym with great instructors for the past few years. Master Gilbride is an excellent leader and teacher both over students and the student teachers that assist in teaching. We personally love the commitment to structure and character while always making room for fun and the real things of kid life as well. Our 8 yo son is part of the Black Belt Club and intends to stay to see through his commitment."

"This is a great local gym with great instructors. Master GilBride is an excellent leader and teacher and builds good rapport with the students. He maintains a good balance between taking Taekwondo seriously while learning in a fun environment with a sense of humor. The black belt students also work as instructors and strengthen the feeling of community here. My daughter has enjoyed learning Taekwondo and her self confidence and self defense skills have improved."
