Keene's ATA Martial Arts Karate for Kids and Self-Defense Classes in Glendale

Friendly, professional, true examples of martial arts leadership.

My daughter loves Keene’s she’s learned so much. Her self-confidence and self-control has grown!

What a wonderful team of professionals. Great classes and training for all ages and athletic ability. Highly recommend. Its a bonus that the parents and family of the students are warm and welcoming!

My son had problems with poor self-esteem in school. Keene's ATA has given him confidence and belief in himself that he needed. The self-discipline they teach their students (both young and old) is invaluable in the world today; when so much of the youth in this country are acting out and getting in trouble, at Keene's they are taught to be accountable for their actions. Every 8 weeks the students are taught a new character trait (honesty, integrity, perseverance, self-esteem, and others) and they learn how those traits apply in their everyday life. Not only are the staff at this school top-notch, but the other families are welcoming and the students are always willing to help and encourage the newer students. If you are looking for a place where your children will learn what it means to work hard for you what they want and to appreciate the rewards when they do, then this is the school for you.

In 3 months our son James has learned so much from Mr. Green. We love that they teach the kids honor and self-control. James had a lot of medical issues when he was younger. We noticed that he was always reaching out for a hand to help walk down a hill or rocky areas. In this short time, he has been with Keene's ATA James is confident in his balance and is running down mountainsides. We are so thankful for the strength he is building inside his body and the skills he is learning that can be used in real life situations. I would highly recommend Keene's ATA to anyone. Mrs. Keene is always there to answer any questions and to help explain how the classes work. You feel very comfortable! Can't wait to watch James grow and work his way up to a black belt!

My son is currently enrolled in the beginner Tiger class. He's 4, on his fourth class, and today had a hard time focusing. I wanted to let him try martial arts to help him learn to focus and to be more disciplined. The instructors make the classes age appropriate and fun, and are patient but firm. I really do appreciate the time they spent with him today trying to guide him (but also disciplining him as needed.) Thank you so much, I was really impressed!

Keene's ATA was probably the best thing that happened in my childhood. They not only taught me Taekwondo, but they taught me respect, courage, integrity, perseverance, confidence... the list goes on. I transferred to another school for a while because it was much closer to home and much easier on my parents. While it was a good school, I didn't like it because there was no discipline. My parents heard me out and agreed that Keene's was best for me. I still pull out my gear every now and then and practice what I can remember. Once my work schedule allows, I will definitely be coming back. Keene's ATA is the reason I am where I am today.
