Martial Arts

I've been training with Sensei Karen and she is amazing! Way to go Sensei!!!🥋🥋🥋

Our family does not look at Taekwondo as another sport for our kids; we look at it as another school…a school of life skills that will serve our children not just for a few seasons but for the rest of their lives. No other sport has offered our kids the degree of physical, social, emotional and psychological growth as Taekwondo. We feel truly blessed to have found Schafer’s ATA. Mr. Schafer is an exception teacher and inspirational human being. The command he has over his students is a delicate balance of firmness with high expectations along with gentle molding and deep devotion. He is heavily invested in his students not just at Taekwondo but in their lives outside of school, as well. It is common to hear about how he attended someone’s birthday party, graduation, or visited someone who was ill. He makes his self available to parents, too. One of our kids was having trouble at school and Mr. Schafer was right there, supporting our family with getting our child back on track. He is genuine in his passion for Taekwondo and the amount of dedication he has for his school as well as his students is evident every day we attend class! Mr. Schafer has an exceptional staff who share his passion for Taekwondo and contribute to the school’s supportive family atmosphere. Mr. Schafer and his school are also a strong force in the community. He drives his students make their own contributions with mandatory community service requirements as a part of their belt advancements, as well as holding several community fundraisers through his school each year. During these tough economic times, it is important to feel your money will be well spent, and there is no greater investment in life than own our children. It has been 5 ½ years since we first walked into Schafer’s ATA and met Mr. Schafer for the first time. What started as a professional welcoming handshake has evolved into personal congratulatory embraces! My oldest son started as a Tiny Tiger and just last week received his black belt. It is a moment that will be etched in my mind forever! That night, more than any other night, I realized, we have gained not only life skills for our children, but we have gained lifetime friendships through our extended family with the Schafers and the other families at Schafer’s ATA.

Master Kim is awesome. He works with both kids and adults well and my kids love his classes.

Strict teacher but beneficial learning

They do good work. We come back. Jerry is great. Timing belts, transmissions, electrical, clutches--he and his crew get it all done. Twenty Eight Years and counting.

We are excited to offer new students a greater opportunity for one on one time with me (Si Ting Dennis) and my associate instructor ( Sempai Sam) as our school commences for the upcoming season. Please visit and feel welcome

ATA of Santa Rosa has been a great choice form my daughter. Great teachers, attention to detail and they've built a really great ATA family there.

I have been coming to classes for over 4 years and it has been a great experience. It is really the only workout that helps me keep weight off and relieve stress. Master Steve and all of the stafff do a great job, and you can join in at any level and be made to feel welcome. It is a tough,rewarding workout and there is something for everyone. The facilites are top notch and I would recommend to anyone trying to stay fit, or learn a new skill.

great place to train. drop by!

Best Tae Kwon Do school in town. I grew up in Santa Rosa and started going here since I was 11-12 years that was almost 20 years ago. There is a reason why I still attend this academy. Master Sanchez is one of the greatest Tae Kwon Do teachers. He disciplines his students to be the best they can be in and outside of his class. If you are looking to bring your child to a martial arts class, you won't regret bringing him here, and he also has adult classes as well if you are looking to attend as well. This academy offers well structure, discipline classes.

My daughter used to be very shy and reluctant to appear in any sort of performance. She has been taking classes here for a few years and I can see her confidence level rise. She recently took part in a Kung Fu performance with the school, enjoyed it tremendously and is now inviting her teacher and friends to see her future performances. Very happy to see how practicing Kung Fu helped my daughter.
