Ryder and his wife Janna are outstanding people. They go way out of their way for their students. Example, Ryder orchestrated a fundraiser for Juvenile Diabetes. His goal was to break 1000 boards in less than an hour. Amazingly, he beat that goal by several minutes and raised several thousand dollars for diabetes research. I would not go to any other school. The Gaston's are sincere people that command discipline and teach leadership by acts of their own.
I have been extremely impressed with the Gaston's and the way they operate this school. They are truly interested in each student and how the students progress and develop. I highly recommend this school for martial arts training.
They are a very family oriented establishment. I love bringing my son there to practice his martial arts. I really love that their main focus is on their students and enhancing their lives! ATA ROCKS!
The Gastons are simply fantastic people. They sincerley care about each student - young and old. The money we have spent at their school has been worth every penny. We've been there for 3 years and are planning on several more. Thank you, Ryder and Tammy for providing such a fantastic environment for our entire family.
I have trained in many schools and styles, under many different teachers. There is no other place I would have my family members train. "Virtue" and 'family" are not just words at this school. They are taught and lived out.
Both of our children have gotten their Black Belts there and we think it is a fantastic learning enviorment. Our Kids love it! Our 13 year old Daughter is the current State Champ in Forms, Wepons and Sparring. Family atmosphere with results.
Talon ATA provides an amazing combination of fitness, focus, goal setting, self defense, and martial arts for kids and adults. They get to know each individual student and help them become better individuals and better martial artists. We are greatful to be a part of their program.
The organization if very professional. Their head instructor, Ryder Gaston, is a natural motivator. I guarantee that you and your family will be fueled by his positive and encouraging attitude.
I have witnessed my neighbors son in most of his competitions and he has progressed from a mere novice to an expert. Wow, I know his teachers at the school are responsible for his successes.
The instructors are interested in teaching to each student's ability and interest levels so students can develop martial arts skills to whatever level they desire.
I have seen great attitude, respect, pride and dedication in the students from ATA. I believe all kids should participate in programs like ATA's. ATA has it "dialed in".
