Raritan Valley ATA

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!

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!

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.

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!!

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!
