ATA Martial Arts

My Grand Daughter is excelling not only here but at home and school since enrolling with them. She pushes herself to do her best. Master Ford and Cirf Master Ford have been such a influence on her.

I’ve had such an incredible experience training here! The environment is welcoming, supportive, and filled with a great group of people who are passionate about learning and growing together. The techniques are taught clearly and effectively, and I’ve learned so much in such a short time. I especially want to thank my instructor, Kevin, for his exceptional guidance, patience, and dedication. His passion for jiu-jitsu is truly inspiring, and he creates a space where everyone feels encouraged and motivated to give their best. I absolutely love being part of this community. A special thank you to all my teammates as well—your kindness and support mean so much to me!

My daughter joined a few months ago, she is 8 years old and very shy. Master Ford (Nicola) too her under her wing and she is flourishing! We are so proud of how confident she has become, and how she is facing her fears. This club welcomes you in as a part of the family. The kids, instructors and other parents are fabulous. It really does feel like a family supporting each of our kids grow and learn.

We have been absolutely thrilled with the program for our son. One of the first things we noticed were how well trained and respectful the students are, which speaks volumes about a school. We really appreciate the work that goes into building self-esteem and integrity as well; this is so much more than just a top notch fitness program, and we happily recommend it.

I've had the honor and privilege of having trained with the Fords in Edmonton, as well as in BC. I began training over 15 years ago, and even though I've trained at and worked for other martial arts programs since, I've never found a program that equals theirs. They offer world class, professional martial arts instruction for all age groups and skill levels from beginner and up. There are very, very few martial arts programs that I would recommend to a family member or friend, and they are the top of that list.
