Our four-year-old son’s experience with Apex Martial Arts and Master Miller has been transformative. Beyond learning Taekwondo, he has developed character, leadership, and life skills like accountability and teamwork. Taekwondo has become more than a martial art—it’s a philosophy shaping him into a confident and compassionate young leader. We are truly grateful for the positive impact Apex has had on his life.

Great academy. Master Miller is awesome with the kids. He is a great leader. I feel very good about my son going here to learn martial arts, discipline, stay fit & learn self defense. I have recommended my friends n relatives to this place.

My son has done taekwondo here for 3 years and loves it! Master Miller is an amazing instructor who does a great job helping students understand the moves. He really instills confidence and self-respect in all students. I would highly recommend joining for anyone interested in martial arts!

Not only is Master Miller a “master” of his trade, but he is also EXCELLENT with the kids! He has clearly found his calling working with kids, and he is an expert in the field. For us having our six-year-old boy in Martial Arts benefits our whole family. Martial Arts reinforces the discipline and respect we are trying to instill at home. Additionally, Master Miller is another credible point of accountability for our son. When it comes to schoolwork and behavior & listening at school and at home we can say, “Would Master Miller be sad or proud of you right now?” it’s great because it’s not just us harping on him! There are also monthly “homework” pages to earn merits at Apex which always have great lessons such as kindness, respect, perseverance, confidence, etc I wish I had the time to join the adult classes! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

My son has been attending Gretna ATA for a year and has learned so much. Ryan is a great teacher. He not only teaches the kids martial arts but also important values like discipline, respect, communication. And also self defense on a way that kids can understand and use if needed. My son has improved physically and he has gain so much confidence. All while having fun. I plan on having him attending this school for years to come. It’s a great investment on your child physical and mental health. He offer free trials and honestly, after you watch his classes, you will understand the quality of his service. This is a wonderful martial arts school.

I have had my 6 year old son in ATA Tigers for 8 months and he simply loves it. Even with the young age of the tigers, Mr. Miller does a great job keeping it structured and fun at the same time. Additional to learning the forms, Mr. Miller does a great job explaining why and what to do and he does it in a way to keep the students interested and excited. My son as learned a lot and has become a very dedicated student here. I enjoy watching him learn and improve. I can see in his face how much he loves it.

My kids have been with Apex for about a year and a half now. (They are 5 & 7). My firstborn has shown a noticeable improvement in his ability to focus and, I’ve noticed that my youngest is more disciplined/better behaved when we attend classes more frequently. Ryan is kind, patient, but firm. An excellent teacher! This school is further from us than other martial arts schools, but I wouldn’t take my kids anywhere else!

Fantastic school for martial arts! Ryan Miller has such a way with the kids. So respectful, kindhearted, and dedicated in what he teaches. You can really tell he loves what he does. He takes pride in instructing. It’s nice to go to a place that shows you how to have fun and really enjoy yourself, while also focusing on teaching respect, integrity, self-control, as well as outstanding discipline. My boys have struggled over the years with ADHD as well as being bullied at school. They have now been going to Mr Miller’s for 6-years. They go to class 4 times a week and truly enjoy it! I have seen their self-confidence shine! And they are able to really focus and learn new things. When they travel for their tournaments, the excitement is grand. They wear their medals in honor of the ATA!!!
