This is a great place to train. Mr. Melatti takes great care in structuring a program that delivers on its promise to make your child a better person and get your child in great shape at the same time. My son was in reasonable shape before, but 7 months of training, ATF Academy knocked off that stubborn last bit of belly fat my child had, and his cardio has never been better. \r

If you're looking for a martial arts school where you can chat and socialize while you children train, this is the place for you; a very good atmosphere. That said, just about everyone that I've run across here is very nice. My child have made new friends and it's extremely rare to encounter anyone with an ego or an attitude problem (unless, if you are one the “not so gracious parents” that is always unhappy with your own life…)\r

In response to a couple of rogue comments on this board accusing ATF Academy of overcharging and not having tap water available to your children, don't buy them, because they're bullshit. You just don’t go to a gourmet restaurant and expect to pay the WalMart prices. If $1 water is too much for you, quit the Starbucks for some time. Mr. Melatti really is a gifted teacher and successful businessman who know how to explain things clearly as well as inspire your kids to work as hard as they can. He takes time with everyone, without exception.\r
