I've known the owner and his instructors for several years now. Extremely holistic in their teaching - not only of form and technique -- but especially in respect, pride in ones accomplishments, and involvement in the community. We now live in Saint Paul - so a bit far for ATA in Chanhassen, but if we lived closer, it would be a privilege for us to allow our son Liu to take further instruction from this crew! 5-star!

Chanhassen ATA is a great place to learn Tae Kwon Do whether you are 4 or 84 years old. Great instructors and a fun environment. If you are in the Chanhassen area, this should be on your list to check out .

Was so excited to sign my daughter up for classes. After about three different emails for the instructor that were all automated, asking for information and saying someone would call me, NO ONE called me back. Now looking for a different place for my kid to take lessons.
