Testimonials
Thank you, Mr. Holston and Mr. Ticconi! I'm so grateful for your expertise! I learned some effective level one self-defense moves at their women's self-defense class. I will definitely be taking the level 1 review & look forward to more classes. I highly recommend Ticconi's ATA Martial Arts.

Josh loves going to Taekwondo at Ticconi's ATA Martial Arts! He's learning dedication, focus, self-control, and is getting great abs! The teachers are amazing! They have small teacher-to-student ratios and work with the students at their individual level of ability. We've tried other Martial Arts classes and this is by far the best in the area!

The amount of joy we find at Ticconi’s ATA is beyond words. Mr. T. and the other instructors are professional, courteous, and fun to be around. We have had nothing but great experiences here. Our little one wanted to try a sport but was not interested in anything we mentioned. We happened to be downtown trick-or-treating and received a small card in our treat bag. It said it was good for one free lesson. We kicked the idea around (no pun intended), and called the number to see when and where we could try the lesson. Right from the start, so much attention was paid to our child. We were hooked. The education we receive at Ticconi’s is much more than martial arts. It’s a place to learn manners, discipline, respect, self-esteem, and how to have fun while getting the job done. We are making a goal to get our black belt.

My daughter looks forward to her Taekwando classes every week. Just in the short amount of time, she's been going (2 1/2 months) her confidence and determination have significantly boosted! All of the instructors are wonderful and truly care about each one of their students. My daughter had her first tournament today and with all of the hard work and consistency, each instructor worked with her on she earned two medals! A huge thank you to Mr. Ticconi and all of the other instructors!

Mr. Ticconi is a very talented patient instructor. He has and continues to work with Steven, giving him self-confidence and self-control. Steven has excelled under the one-on-one and group classes with Mr. Ticconi. Mr. T has also taken the time to learn Steven's needs and strengths. When we leave class, it is not over. Steven has gained a love of taekwondo and continues to work hard after class to build skills. Mr. T and his entire staff possess superior skills that any child or adult can learn and benefit from. I highly recommend the school, the program, and its fundamentals, and most of all Mr. Ticconi.
