ABOUT OUR KARATE SCHOOL
The core art taught at the ATMA is Tang Soo Do. All of our instructors come from within our own ranks and add their own flavour to the classes. They are also skilled in other arts, such as Japanese Karate, Okinawan Weaponry, T’ai Chi, Boxing, BJJ, MMA and Kickboxing. Weapons are taught as a part of our syllabus from day one. We define respect as treating others how you would like to be treated and you will find all of our classes welcoming, with plenty of experienced Black Belts on hand to advise. We enjoy seminars and compete in tournaments not just in the UK, but worldwide. Take a look at our Instructors…
