Bring-A-Buddy Break-A-Board


This past Saturday, March 21st, was our Bring-A-Buddy Break-A-Board event. It was a total blast. We had over 40 buddies in attendance. We practiced palm heels, elbows, front kicks, and side kicks. Everyone broke their boards and even got the instructors to sign them afterwards so that they may have them as a keepsake. Breaking your first wood board is a memorable milestone in your martial arts training. We are very excited to share that with the students of ATA West Chester and their buddies.

If any of the students and/or their buddies would like for us to come to their classroom for a Show & Tell about their board breaking experience, we would be more than honored to do so. We can even let you break a board right in front of your classmates! Be sure to stay tuned for our next event...

Our First Belt Promotion


Saturday, February 28th was our very first belt promotions! We promoted 25 students to orange belt. We had 6 Tiny Tigers, 13 Juniors, & 6 Adults. Mr. Jason Morgan from the Elkton, Maryland school was there helping out the Tiny Tiger testing and cheering on his 5 year old cousin who tested for her orange belt. Also, our very special guest, Master Doug Stewart, our instructor, was there to help judge the Juniors & Adults. The students were very excited to see him! Everyone had a great performance and we heard nothing but good things from parents and families who were in attendance. We are also grateful for our sponsorship and support from First National Bank and Lorgus Flower Shop. Our event was a success!
