About the provider

Erik Powell is the owner. He said he started ATA Martial Arts in 1995 and earned his black belt in 1998. The school says it aims to build confidence, self-discipline, self-esteem, fitness, and leadership through martial arts.

The site says anyone can begin martial arts, any age and any fitness level. It also says one monthly event option is available at the front desk once registration opens.

What families say

“What my daughter experiences at ATA is remarkable. She gets actively excited for each class and enjoys the programming. While learning self-defense they are taught life lessons that teach them self-control, confidence, self-esteem, and leadership skills. We highly recommended to anyone, including adults!” — David Leingang Bismarck

“Our daughter has been at ATA for over a year and has absolutely loved it. Our younger son started 2 months ago and loves it. Everyone learns far more than taekwondo and self-defense, including integrity, discipline, self-esteem, focus, confidence, persistence, goals, attitude, respect, and much more.” — Troy Walker Bismarck

“A professional environment for students of all levels. Bismarck ATA provides such an amazing experience day in and day out” — Jake Marcus Bismarck
