Giving our children the gift of Martial Arts has been one of the best decisions we've made as parents. Our children have not only been taught the art of taekwondo, but the wonderful instructors at Coffrins ATA have focused on discipline and life skills along the way. The Coffrins have provided a top notch training school complete with kind, knowledgeable, and talented staff. We've seen our children's confidence increase with the kind and encouraging words spoken over them by their instructors. We highly recommend Coffrins ATA.

My 10 year old son and I have been participating in this program since August 2016 and we love it! We both just earned our 1st degree black belts and we're excited for the next journey to 2nd degree. Everyone thinks they just want money but, honestly, once you purchase all of the weapons and gear, you're good to go. The only time you might need to purchase more gear/weapons is only due to wear and tear; otherwise, I think it's pretty reasonable. The owners, Master and Mrs. Coffrin, as well as the rest of the staff are very personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely want to help you succeed. It's almost like another family and my son and I have made so many friends. We are extremely pleased with the service and continuing our training. This is a great place for families to train together and progress through the different ranks/belts and it's great for the kid or adult that just wants to do something different. This program can address so much, such as self-esteem, confidence, self-control, respect, getting/staying in shape, weight loss, etc. I'm glad we gave it a chance and could not imagine my life without Coffrin's ATA. :)

Our son was in school full-time for the first time this year. For Spring break we heard about Coffrins and their Spring Break program. Summer break was quickly approaching so we sent him to see if it would work for a summer camp option. He loved it! We signed him up for summer camp at Best Kids Bloomington and he has been loving every minute. Our son thrives on a more structured environment. I love that he is learning manners, respect, discipline and self defense while he is there. Great place to bring your kids for the summer.

This place has been such a blessing for my son’s confidence. He struggles with focus and he is thriving at Coffrins ATA with multiple step directions. He is also showing more respect and better listening skills at home as well as carrying all of this over into schoolwork. He gets way more out of this than we anticipated.....and the bonus....he is REALLY good at it! They make it fun and keep the kids busy! Highly recommend.

Our son began Taekwondo at Coffrin's ATA in March of 2018 and within 4 or 5 weeks my 2 daughters and I decided to sign up for class too! Mr. Reece Coffrin is an amazing instructor. He genuinely cares about the students and does a fantastic job with discipline for his classes and definitely earns the respect of his students no matter what age they are. We love the family atmosphere and are thrilled and proud to be part of the Coffrin's ATA Family.

BEWARE of signing a contract. Beware of high pressure sales tactics that require you to make a decision THAT DAY. Do NOT sign anything without taking it to a lawyer. You will be held liable for the entire amount on the contract with NO CANCELLATION. The grace period ends before the first class is ever offered.

Do NOT go here. It is a very large money pit. They do not do this for the parents, the do it for themselves. I paid almost $2,000 for my son to go here and he almost did, but we pulled him out after we had already paid $1,400. Don't go.

My kids started with just a couple classes a week. They now go to the after school program and will be going to summer camp. They absolutely love it here and I couldn’t be happier with the programs. The Coffrins are amazing!

Coffrin's ATA Martial Arts is a phenomenal business that really cares about their clients. I was reluctant to try them out only because my 8 year old son has Autism and I was concerned that he wouldn't do well. I was up front and transparent about everything and Master Coffrin and his wife were extremely patient and understanding from the beginning. In fact, Mrs. Elisha Coffrin has had special training for children with special needs and it shows. In addition, Ayrielle Ehlers, another staff member who is highly involved with the program has been equally impressive. Even the Coffrin's two sons are actively involved in the program and they are both a joy to work with. Our son Jude is in the After School Program at Coffrins. I highly recommend it. In fact, the same day we went for the interview and tour we signed up. We started the very next day! It was a blessing because our after school situation changed quickly requiring us to find something last minute and we needed to begin immediately. The staff were very accomodating and really took our situation seriously. Now, the most important part of this review: we have seen a huge improvement in Jude's behavior since joining Coffrin's! Not only have WE witnessed it, but everyone at Coffrins has too. My son now says to me, "After you, ma'am" and holds doors open for people. He absolutely loves the martial arts portion of the program. He is thriving there and we know this will continue during his time at Coffrins. If you aren't sure about it but you want to learn more, call and make an appointment to sit down with Master & Mrs. Coffrin. They are open minded and willing to help with your needs. We are so blessed to be a part of the Coffrins "family". I recommend them to anyone, whether it be the after school program or martial arts classes or both. We are extremely satisfied and pleased with everything and everyone there! 5 stars!
