EXCELLENT Based on 14 reviews Posted on Google L ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son started classes here at 4 1/2 years old and LOVES it. This is the first sport/activity we’ve ever done where he doesn’t complain about going or try to be done early. I credit most of his enthusiasm to Mr. P who is a GREAT teacher - so engaging, funny, calm and handles the younger kids just so so well! We love that older students also help lead the younger ones - great role models. We’re so happy that it’s not just about the skill, but SO much character building as well. Our son has already had great friendships form here in a short time also. The flexibility of classes - different times and how often you choose to go is also a plus for busy schedules. Highly, highly recommend 👍🏼 Edit: Still attending RVATA and now in juniors classes. Still loving it - great structure, exercise and skill work!Posted on Google K BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great instructor. Mr. P is great with the kids.Posted on Google L ZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place for the kids. Brian is incredibly good at keeping the kids engaged!Posted on Google K KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our son absolutely loves martial arts at RV ATA. I highly recommend Mr. Peterson and Ms. Angie! Their dedication to the kids (and adults!) is truly amazing. My son has been practicing with Mr. P for about a year and we already feel like a part of the RV ATA family. I can't wait for my daughter to be ready to start taking classes!Posted on Google S HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. RVATA is an excellent Martial Arts establishment. My 4 year old son loves going there from his first day to now about a year since he started. Mr Peterson has a great way with young kids to make them feel cared for, and encouraged to be all they can be. It’s the perfect balance of discipline and gentleness as they learn and grow both physically as well as in building character. Mr. Peterson’s humor works well to engage the kids. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking to get their kids involved in MA.Posted on Google A GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our son has been going to RVATA for over 6 months now. We tried a different martial arts place before but after few classes he lost interest and didn't want to come back. With RVATA, he actually asks to go to class! Mr. Peterson has a great way of keeping the kids engaged. They learn new skills and discipline through fun play! RVATA also hosts different events throughout the year where the parents and all kids get a chance to mingle and get to know each other outside of regular classes. It's one big family. You won't be disappointed if you join.Posted on Google D STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been doing Taekwondo for about 15 years, which has become more than just a sport. I have taken a few breaks but regardless of the setbacks I have always find myself going back to Taekwondo. There is always something to learn regardless the belt. It’s more than just a school. Everyone is family here and willing to help everyone and motivate each other. Regardless of your physical limitations, this school goes above and beyond to show you what you can do it. Even though I feeling like giving up at times, Mr. Peterson has always pushed me to be my best self and I can’t express how much I appreciate him motivating me. I highly recommend this school, you will not be disappointed!!Posted on Google M ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has been a student here for 7+ years starting in preschool as a child looking to burn energy and is now a pre teen competitive black belt. The program is so good the rest of the family joined him a few years ago and also worked to achieve or black belts. Family atmosphere but serious training. There is something for everyone, looking to workout and advance at your own pace, they got that. Looking to get your children into something constructive to reinforce respect and discipline, they got that too. Wanna compete at the highest levels? The tournament team is working hard to prepare for district championships later this month. Wanna train with a champion, Mr P is the current World Champion in weapons forms!Posted on Google D PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is an excellent school with the best instructors. Mr. Peterson and staff really foster a family friendly environment where students not only learn martial arts, but also respect, discipline, and integrity. Both of my sons really look forward to class everyday, and that says it all!Posted on Google M BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great school, fantastic staff.

No matter what your personal hurdles are, RVATA will help you overcome them while having fun doing it.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
