Read these success stories from our students and parents
At, Horizon ATA, we’re proud to cultivate not just martial artists but strong, confident individuals. Here’s what our students and their families have to say about their experiences with us!
We love Horizon ATA! Our son started classes at 4 and has been enthusiastically attending classes since. Mr. Coley and Mr. Clemens are great role models and incredibly patient, even with the younger students. There are always other teachers and assistants on hand to ensure that there are plenty of opportunities for practice, especially when students demand extra attention.
The children have so much fun practicing martial arts, but in doing so, they are practicing so much of the discipline and body awareness they use in their daily lives. Our son has expressed that he wants to become a black belt and loves impressing us with his “black belt behavior.”
We love that Horizon ATA is very family friendly. Their viewing area makes it a welcoming place for me to watch, even with a toddler. Horizon ATA hosts events for families and is involved in the local community, something we greatly value.
My husband and I highly recommend Horizon ATA. Mr.Clemens and Mr.Coley have been great with our son. He has grown in his confidence, and self defense. We have seen such such a change. They take the time to invest in each student. If you let them know whar your child is struggling with confidence, bullies, etc they will take them to to address that in classes.
Thank you for all the time you have and continue to invest into Nick.
We’ve loved our experience at Horizon ATA! The teachers are kind and disciplined and are helping my son focus on achieving each small milestone. Thank you to the whole team!
Our daughter has been attending classes here for almost 5 years. The instructors are patient and dedicated. They emphasize discipline, good sportsmanship and fitness. It has been an overwhelmingly positive experience to take classes with Brad and Chad!
The instructors care and treat each member as an individual and gets to know each member. Your class is like family. Its a pleasure to see everyone in class days, Brad&Chad teach the moves and class members are exceptional as well. The facility is well maintained. You will not go wrong choosing this ATA

Been attending now for several years and love the atmosphere here. I also like that I can help assist with classes when needed. I earned my Red/Black Collar, which is a Senior Trainer, which allows me to help assist in teaching I am also working on my toward my next black belt rank of 4th degree . Thanks Mr. Clemens and Mr. Coley for the constant encouragement.
Two of my grandsons have taken karate (and now sparring) here for several years. They enjoy their classes and try to apply the life skills taught in class to their daily experiences. The instructors are kind but firm and are wonderful with kids. The birthday parties are fun and a good way for non-members to find out if they like the program. Keep it up!
Mr. Clemens and Mr. Coley are wonderful instructors and people. They are energetic, knowledgeable, kind, and encouraging. They make their classes fun and educational. We switched from another local studio and our son found a renewed love of the sport with Horizon ATA. Their professionalism is outstanding and you will not be disappointed with these two instructors. We highly recommend Horizon ATA and Mr. Clemens and Mr. Coley.
Both of my boys go to the school. My oldest suffers with ADHD. I hoped the school would help. The classes are challenging and the staff are excellent. My boys have grown so much. They both have gained focus and strength. This school is a large part of that.
I recommend this place to all kids they go above and beyond to teach our children a beautiful Art form I’m very satisfied with the progress my child is making!!!!

We have been sending our 12 year old daughter and 10 year old son here for nearly two years. They are truly phenomenal. They teach amazingly well, and have a lot of patience with the children. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get involved in martial arts.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Horizon ATA. Both Mr. Clemens and Mr. Coley are positive, encouraging role models for the students. They are incredibly skilled instructors and are sure to help each student develop as a martial artist. My son loves going to class and learning more each week. If you are considering enrolling your child, do not hesitate. This is 100% an awesome place to go.
We love Horizon! Our son has been taking karate lessons since he was just shy of 3 years old and he is thriving. I love watching his strength and confidence grow each testing cycle. He adores Mr. Clemens and Mr. Colely. They also do fun camps and movie nights for the kids on occasional weekend evenings that my son loves. He really loved the nerf war themed one.
Mr. Bradley & Mr. Coley are amazing instructors that are attentive and informative. My son loves going to their karate classes. They help each child achieve their goals. I’m so glad we signed my son up here!
Mr. Clemens and Mr. Coley are both martial arts experts and fantastic teachers. They are knowledgeable and able to clearly explain form, self defense, and all techniques to the tiniest students (my youngest started at 4!) Both my kids love attending class and I love seeing their confidence soar and watching them improve week to week. Do not hesitate to enroll!
You can’t give those folks but 5 stars. My kids tried the month trial, they loved it a lot. They were practicing each time they got home, as they were excited. I couldn’t keep my kids membership because of my work, and my limited time. When I figured out that i was charged for another month through the automatic enrollment, I called them and got refunded on the spot, although the payment was authorized a month ago.
Thumbs up for those guys, they are so professional, respectful, and kind. They work to teach and train, to make good business and connections, not only for the dollar. Thank you
We have been with Horizon for well over a year now having worked with Mr. Coley and Mr. Clemens in other groups. My son was a 2nd degree black belt when we joined. They are amazing at bringing out the best in my son, helping him to find the leader in himself! While his Martial Arts skills have improved exponentially, more importantly, so has his confidence, and his interest! Amazing school, Amazing instructors!
My son LOVES his classes at ATA! He has had some motor delays and this has helped his core balance and strength tremendously. He is excited to now be sparring and advancing every few months to a new belt he really looks forward to testing.
My daughter has been going to ATA Horizon for almost 4 years and every class has been a great experience towards her growth in life and Taekwondo. The instructors are professional, supportive, and push for all students to be better. It has been a great journey for her and I.
My son is an ATA tiger and absolutely loves coming to class. The facility is clean and the staff are professionals when it comes to training taekwondo to all age groups. They teach the meaning of discipline, “stranger danger”, and self awareness. Above all their connection to training while being respectful of the teachers and other students is a key reason my sons will be with Horizon ATA for a very long time.
My 6 year old daughter went there today for her first time, I was extremely excited cause I wish she could learn self defense, she was anxious and shy. Mr. Brad was more than amazing. He walked her step by step, kept encouraging her and made her feel so comfortable she didn’t want to live. The prices are in affordable. I really recommend this to all people interested in martial arts!!!
The best experience for both of my children. The instructors are great with the kids. They are patient and the kids feed off of positivity. My daughter was bullied at school and this has taught her confidence and strength of self. Thank you so much for all you do.
We love Horizon ATA in Westlake. Two of our children attend and Mr Clemens and Mr Coley are amazing! Our oldest child has autism and they are very accommodating of his needs too. They encourage our children in their martial arts using core life skills such as respect, working with others and discipline. They have great adult classes too making it a skill the whole family can build together. Would recommend to everyone.
My daughter has grown so much in her confidence and skills at Horizon ATA! She has a sense of belonging and has fun, while building life skills such as discipline, goal setting and integrity. The instructors are driven, organized and always available. As a parent, I like being able to observe classes and watch my daughter as she learns. I would highly recommend Horizon ATA!!
My son has adhd and anxiety and this has been one of the best activities for him. The instructors are patient and provide an environment where he feels safe to be himself while being challenged to grow socially in a group setting. If you are looking for an activity where all kids are valued abd encouraged to grow and be their best, this is that activity!
Brad and Chad the instructors are great! Both of my children love going here.
Haven’t done any classes, but we just had my son’s 5th birthday party there and it was absolutely excellent. Probably one of the easiest, low-stress parties I’ve ever planned, since they do most of the work for you and keep the kids entertained! The instructors were fabulous with the kids (all were 4-6 years old), pizza was provided, the table was all set up with plates and table cloth when we got there. We just brought cupcakes (and a few snacks and drinks for the adults). One tip: it might be good to have kids bring their own water bottle, since they basically ran around the whole time and got pretty thirsty. Overall, it was super fun, my son LOVED it, and I would absolutely recommend for a kid’s birthday party.
My son started here last November and it has been an incredible experience! Mr. Cooley and Mr. Clemens are beyond wonderful with the children. They are so patient , kind and funny and create such an awesome learning environment for everyone! My son was so nervous his first 5 classes and they were so patient with him, spoke to him throughout the whole class even when he didn’t make it to the mats. They never left him out and now, he adores his mentors! He looks forward to every class and has been loving getting to know his fellow upper class mates as they help teach too! We love it here and highly recommend!
My daughter started taking classes in January and her confidence has just grown and grown ever since! I am so appreciative to Brad and Chad for their hard work and positive impact on my daughter and so many other kids. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
I can’t say enough good things about Mr Clemens and Mr Coley at Horizon ATA. My daughter started her Martial Arts Journey at Horizon ATA about 2 months ago and she has grown tremendously in those few months. Not only are the instructors amazing athletes and Masters of their craft they are also amazing educators. Their enthusiasm is contagious and they meet each athlete at their individual level, challenging those that are ready and offering more support to those that need it. They work very well with athletes of all ages, and are very accommodating to the diverse learners at Horizon ATA. We could easily find Karate classes closer to where we live, but we feel Mr Clemens, Mr Coley and Horizon ATA are worth the drive.
My daughter wanted to add to this review. She said “I love how Mr Clemens and Mr Coley teach me how to do tricks and be an awesome karate girl, just in case I need to kick someone’s butt.”
My daughter has been attending Horizon ATA for almost 2 years now and she absolutely loves it. Her instructors, Mr. Clemens and Mr. Coley, are firm but kind with the children and teach them taekwondo, self-defense and character building skills. All the children show great respect for their instructors and are all smiles during their training. I enjoy watching my daughter focus during her 30 minute training and grow stronger and more confident with each class. If you are looking for a place for your child to have fun, build confidence, make friends and exercise in a safe environment, I recommend Horizon ATA and Karate for Kids!
My 5 year old son loves going to karate! His behavior has improved at home as well . Mr. Clemens and Mr. Coley are very patient with the kids and are great role models .
Ever since we started they have been so patient with my son. He has learned so much and loves the classes.
Even during these difficult times, they have managed to do virtual and private lessons.
The instructors are wonderful. It’s one of the few programs where I can trust the instructors to be respectful and supportive of my son without any accommodations or feeling like I’m privately training everyone who interacts with him. He’s gaining a sense of responsibility and focus and his self esteem is improving as he works through the program.
Highly recommend. My kids (ages 7, 11) started online at the beginning of March. They are true opposites, but both agree on this activity. The instructors keep it fun and bring a lot of heart and creativity to the Zoom classes. We have health risk at home, so it’s been great to have them build their skills and be a part of things at Horizon ATA. They are probably even more fun in person, but we have had a great experience with the virtual classes.
Mr Clemens and Mr Coley are wonderful instructors both on zoom and in person! They have been able to pivot and adapt to virtual karate in such a way that our 5 year old son has continued to progress through his levels and still enjoy his classes, both online and in person. They are both passionate instructors and do a great job interacting with the kids! Batman workouts are a family fave! So fun! It’s been a really great experience for us all!
Mr. Coley and Mr. Clemens are patient, kind, enthusiastic and accomplished teachers who make every class enjoyable for their students! The routine has been wonderful for our daughter.
My 3.5 and 6.5 year old daughters have been taking lessons since mid July and have really enjoyed their lessons. Both of the instructors are really good with young children. They help the kids stay focused while also having fun! I would definitely recommend especially for young children.
Amazing instructors and by far the best place for kids to learn responsibly, respect and patience!
Instructors are Great with kids!
A great business which I highly recommend. The owners are knowledgeable, polite, and highly motivated.
Great instructors who have a wonderful way of addressing the kids and working through behavioral issues. They have a way of getting the kids to buy in to the program and they create a great atmosphere for them all.
