"Our son has experienced increased confidence and willingness to work hard to accomplish things since joining this school. The leadership is patient and willing to work with students of any skill level, as long as they put in the work."

"I've been going here for 7 years. loved every moment of it."

"My children began taking Taekwondo at ATA Integrity in 2017, during that time they have grown in body, mind, and strength, so much so, that my husband and I joined as well! The instructors are wonderful - respectful and kind - while expecting you to try your hardest and reach your goals. The owner, Mr. Whately has built his school following the life skills taught in taekwondo; courtesy, loyalty, respect, attitude, perseverance, honor, self-control, and Integrity, skills we all need in our daily lives, skills that he demonstrates and expects his students to use. He and his teachers have created more than a school, they have made a family where trust, caring, acceptance, and kindness are seen and felt by all!"

"My child attended classes for months. I was a very unnerving experience, we just couldn't get passed the awkward looks and whispering. The last straw was when the older, Male instructor Mr. Whately asked my 5 almost 6 year old who is highly intelligent if he knew what the word middle means. This happened during a time when all of the children were loud and my child did not hear him (neither did any if the parents including myself) and asked do you know what the word middle means. I immediately intervened. Overall, my child learned a ton of chants and felt as if he was being singled out. I wouldn't recommend this place to any minority."

"My nephew attended this class and was extremely disrespected and disregarded by the instructors and staff. My nephew being the shy, fun, loving little boy that he is didn’t see the discrimination but any unbiased adult would have been outraged. HE was constantly addressed as a girl even tho his parent corrected the staff more that once, he was completely disregarded and taught NOTHING while the staff were giving their attention to other students for the ENTIRE period. When his father tried to tell that staff that this was his first time giving the class a try (of course because this was an introduction) the staff told him that it was “every students first day” yet the kids in the course knew chants and mottos. Which is great for them of course but the point is, this was a lie from this employees mouth. And even more puzzling as to why my nephew was disregarded in an INTRODUCTORY class. We were willing to pay any price for my nephew to have fun, meet other kids and do something healthy and energetic but I WILL NOT bring him back to this place. And will never recommend this place to anyone. I definitely will highly advise against it. Luckily he did not realize the disrespect and will continue to be the sweet little boy he is. Also my nephew was the only black kid in the class but take that bit of information as you please..."
