Reviews
We have been a part of ATA for nine years, and choosing this ATA Taekwondo studio has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Our son is now a dedicated member of the Comp Team and volunteers at the club. Ruth and Ben, along with their instructors, aren't just teaching tkd they are instilling discipline, focus, and a phenomenal work ethic in students of all ages. For our son, the competitive training is top-tier, it's challenging, supportive, and focused on technique, tournament readiness, and mental fortitude. For the adults, the training is equally rewarding, providing physical fitness, and a fantastic goal-oriented environment. Thank you, Ruth, Ben, and the entire ATA team, for nearly a decade of amazing support and for making Taekwondo a family passion. They are truly dedicated to the sport and its progression in South Australia. Highly, highly recommend!
We couldn’t be happier! All the instructors are patient, encouraging, and truly great with all the kids. Both of our kids have grown in confidence, and have made some great friends. The classes are fun, and focus on respect and personal growth just as much as technique. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a positive and empowering environment for their kids.
My son joined Adelaide Taekwondo Academy this year and he’s absolutely loving it! Training at the Marleston facility has been such a great experience. The coaches are fantastic, the atmosphere is energetic and welcoming, and there’s a real focus on building strong fundamentals while keeping every session fun. What really stands out is the pathway ATA provides for kids who want to compete. With experienced athletes and dedicated coaches leading the way, the club offers incredible support, guidance, and role models for young competitors. Couldn’t recommend Adelaide Taekwondo Academy more highly 👏
Both my boys have been part of Adelaide Taekwondo Academy for the past 10 years, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the positive impact it’s had on their lives. It so much more than sport, the Club and its members have become a second family that has helped shape their character and values. The boys have learnt respect, humility, discipline, and perseverance — lessons that extend far beyond the dojang. Head coaches Ruth & Ben Hock along with the lot team of instructors are amazing and serve as incredible mentors and role models! Thanks team ATA!
I cannot rate Adelaide Taekwondo Academy highly enough. All instructors are amazing and cater to every child's ability. My daughter's confidence has grown so much. It's more than just learning Taekwondo; it's also about values, respect and discipline. ATA is more than a Taekwondo Academy; it's a family.
