About Us
The family that kicks together, sticks together!
Our story
Keller's ATA family since 2007
Keller ATA Martial Arts is an independently owned and operated school of the American Taekwondo Association, teaching Songahm Taekwondo in Keller, Texas since 2007.
From the beginning our school has been about family. Entire families train with us, the 3rd and additional family members train free, and no athlete ever sits on the bench. Our students compete at local, state, national and world tournaments — and they cheer each other on at every one.
We are proud to welcome students of all abilities, to run one of the few exclusive homeschool programs around, and to keep our students connected outside the dojang through things like Ms. Mary's weekly book club.
