Building Tomorrow’s Leaders,
One Black Belt at a Time
Raberge’s ATA Leadership Martial Arts is a
taekwondo
academy focused on bringing out the best in each and
every student. Our academy is a family based
Martial arts with a mission of providing martial
arts training to children and adults in a safe, fun,
yet challenging environment. The focus of our
academy is the development of excellence,
self-confidence, leadership, and discipline in every
student.
Our instructors are trained using a curriculum
developed by the American Taekwondo Association
(ATA) with integrates martial arts with life skills.
This curriculum provides a smooth transition to each
rank for each student. Many students start training
without knowing how to perform a simple block, but
quickly learn to do complex moves including jump
kicks and spins with ease.
Classes are structured to allow families to train together while helping all students to get the most out of each class. As students advance in rank, they move into more challenging classes which helps bring out the best in each student as they work to achieve their goals. The only destination for students of all ages living in
Lakeville, Farmington, Apple Valley or
Elko New Market who are interested in Karate,
Taekwondo, Martial Arts and Fitness, and wanting to change their lives dramatically.

Our ATA journey started when we met a young lady promoting the ATA school
and Martial Arts classes at a local mall here in
Lakeville. My wife was so impressed with the poise and confidence of this 19 year old student that she wanted to learn more about the
Martial Arts and karate program for our son.
We soon discovered this could be a family Martial Arts activity. Now, four years later, we enjoy our new found friends,
self-defense skills, and the positive role models along with the physical activity each class provides. Each of us feels pride for ourselves and our other family members with the goals we have achieved and the confidence we have gained. In a world that tends to send families in different directions, we found our family has enjoyed our martial arts training together.

When I first came to Raberge's ATA in June 2004, I was just a mom wanting to start my son in
karate in Lakeville. Within in short time I realized how the leadership skills my son Kevin was learning was paying off! He listened more, was focused more and felt more comfortable in front of his class at school. 5 years later my daughter Erin and I joined
their Martial arts program. Now, Kevin is a 3rd Degree Black Belt, and Erin and I are 1st Degree Black Belts. We train together, do tournaments together and are on the Demo Team together. It is great that there is something that we can all do together regardless of age, gender, or ability. The best in
martial arts hands down from Lakeville to Farmington.

Taekwondo, or Karate to some, has many therapeutic benefits for my special needs child. He is physically stronger and more coordinated and has increased discipline to follow through on requests made of him at home and school. As an occupational therapist, I highly recommend
taekwondo and martial arts as an extra curricular activity to the
families of special needs children in Lakeville due to the positive results I have seen in my child.
