Hear from our satisfied members:
Cranberry ATA martial arts is truly an amazing school. We called to inquire about transferring to this school as our previous instructor had left ATA suddenly. From the very 1st informational telephone discussion with Mrs Anderson, to coming in to view the school and our 1st class as “new” students EVERYONE was just amazing and the atmosphere was very welcoming and my daughter and I have loved it ever since! We were treated like we had been attending this school for years, never like outsiders and now 3 1/2 years later this is still the best school choice we could have made!
I was privileged to receive my 2nd degree black belt in December, multiple years as state and district title holder and being a 2x top 10 world qualifier could not have been accomplished without the help of the Masters and instructors of Cranberry ATA.
My daughter was very apprehensive switching to a new school, especially with this one being 40 minutes away. She was ready to just quit and give up the previous 3 years of hard work she had put into ATA. Not knowing anyone and a new way of learning taekwondo can be stressful for a 13 year old. She decided to give it a shot and thanks to the devotion the Kinoshita’s have for their students she is now currently working on her 3rd degree black belt, a multiple state and district title holder, attended 2025 Worlds Super 20 competition with a win in traditional weapons and is a current employee who absolutely loves working with the tigers and kids classes helping them to become confident Taekwondo students!
We have both grown so much from the help of all the incredible staff. All the staff are amazing at their job and welcome you with open arms no matter if you’re starting as a tiger, a teenager trying something new, an adult looking for a fun and exciting sport after long days at work or looking for another ATA school this is the facility to do this at! No matter what your rank is, where you were before you joined or what you’re looking to accomplish they would never shy away from helping you.
A huge thank you goes to Master Hitoshi and Master Kim Kinoshita for creating such a wonderful family friendly Taekwondo environment. Thanks also goes to Master Dadian, Mrs Anderson and the rest of the staff for their dedication, caring and patience to all students!

As a parent, choosing the right place for my teenager to train was very important to our family, and enrolling them at Cranberry ATA has been an incredibly positive experience. My daughter has always been confident and driven, but like many teenagers, taekwondo has helped her learn how to better channel that confidence, manage stress, and stay focused through challenges.
We chose Cranberry ATA because it stood out as more than just a taekwondo studio. From the beginning, the instructors were welcoming, professional, and genuinely invested in developing the whole student-not just physical skills. Their emphasis on respect, discipline, and personal growth aligned perfectly with what we wanted during such an important stage of our child’s life.
Through training, our daughter has learned meaningful life lessons that extend well beyond the studio. The instructors consistently reinforce accountability, perseverance, and leadership. What’s especially impactful is how the training carries over into everyday life-at home, at school, and in personal responsibilities. We’ve seen growth in self-discipline, focus, and maturity as a result of the program.
One of my favorite memories has been watching belt testing days and seeing the pride that comes from earning each new rank. Those moments reflect not only progress in taekwondo, but also her growth in character and confidence as a young adult.
I would absolutely recommend Cranberry ATA to other families, especially those with older children or teenagers. This school offers a supportive yet challenging environment where students are encouraged to grow, lead, and become the best version of themselves. We are truly grateful for the positive influence Cranberry ATA has had on our family.

Cranberry ATA has been an incredible blessing for our family. Finding a place that truly understands and supports our children’s individual needs has made a world of difference for our sons. The structure, patience, and positive reinforcement at Cranberry ATA have helped them grow not only in martial arts, but also in confidence, focus, self-discipline, and self-belief.
Master K and Master Dadian are exceptional instructors and role models who lead with compassion, consistency, and genuine care. Mrs. Anderson and the entire staff are equally amazing-kind, patient, and always encouraging. They create a welcoming, inclusive environment where every child feels valued and capable.
Cranberry ATA is more than a martial arts school; it is a supportive community that helps children thrive both on and off the mat. We are truly grateful for everything they do and highly recommend Cranberry ATA to any family looking for positive growth, structure, and encouragement for their children.
