Although I'm only 17, I've been practicing taekwondo for 7 years now under many different instructors and academies. ATF Academy is different from most schools out there and I like it for learning how to focus better. ATF instructors have helped me correct my forms. In just three months I learned more than I would from a year of my previous trainings. Its not just good for advanced students like myself, but is great for beginners by teaching them every detail of the proper taekwondo form. You learn to feel your muscles and know your body. I'm going to keep going and in 1 year I know I will achieve better results and win more championships than before, either way I know my form, my body, and my fitness is getting in the best shape ever. ATF Academy is so awesome!!!!

Pros: Great instructors, clean school & a brilliant organization!

Cons: Wish I could train all day long!!!

ATF is amazing! Respect is the core of this whole program. They instruct the children, drill in them if you will, how to not only respect each other, but how to respect themselves and the art of taekwondo. This is all done while truly teaching them taekwondo like I have never seen it done before. When you weigh out what your child is taking away from this program vs. others you may have experienced....well, I found it to be worth it. Your children only get one childhood, and you want to make the most of it for them.

Pros: Amazing staff and prices.

Cons: Wish they had Sunday classes.

ATF is a very big Tae Kwon Do school. I have been to other schools in the past but never have I seen one like this. Mr. Melatti has one of the best instructors I have ever met. He is so knowledgeable and has years of experience. All of his students fight hard and are very good. Check them out.

Pros: Very big school.

Cons: Busy shopping center, but with good parking.

I've been training at ATF Black Belt Academy for coming up on 1 year now, and I would have to say that I have been challenged at every step, supported through those challenges by the staff and other students, and rewarded for my hard work with improved confidence, physical conditioning and skill! I had done other types of martial arts when I was younger but this one has it all, and not just martial arts. Come here to learn everything from ancient Taekwondo techniques to ways to clear your mind to how to improve your awareness of life and your surroundings. I wouldn't trade my experience with the instructors at ATF Black Belt Academy for any gym or sport- it has changed my life!

Pros: Great training at all times!

Cons: Could not find one!

ATF Black Belt Academy is definately the place for those wanting a physical and mental challenge and are looking to take your exercise regimen to another level. ATF Black Belt Academy (located in the Aliante area - North Las Vegas), offers an array of Martial arts classes, including traditional taekwondo and self-defense programs for everyone of all ages. The instructors are extremely experienced and very knowledgeable. The atmosphere of the school is always upbeat,positive, friendly and family oriented. This is definately the best Martial Arts school to join.

The classes at ATF are the best! It's important for me to always be challenged and I love the variety of classes. The instructors are really great. I feel like I get the best and the most for my money when I take classes. The instructors are very knowledgeable and and they keep the class fun.The school is clean. Really great people and fun atmosphere. You feel like you are training taekwondo in a 5-Star Hotel here in Las Vegas. I mean there is 17" tile everywhere, incredible floor, and the front area sparkle. But all of this is nothing compared to the classes... THEY ROCK!!! DEFINITELY have THE BEST INSTRUCTORS!!! Oh, and they are HALF the price of some of the other "karate" schools (more like snobby franchises)! The best school by far!

Pros: The best instructors anywhere! GREAT FACILITY TOO!

ATF has a realistically focused tae-kwon-do program for all ages, reasonably priced, and with an outstanding class schedule that really fits my family's lifestyle. Mr. Melatti and his instructors are very knowledgeable in all types of realistic combat scenarios, up to and including modern, improvised weapons. The training at ATF is super traditional, effective and focused on the real world. My children and I are very pleased with the training we get at ATF Black Belt Academy.

Pros: knowledgeable in all aspects of tae-kwon-do...

Cons: Could not find one! Everything is so perfect at ATF!
