Happy Saturday!

Today’s adult class was a great team workout filled with positive energy.

Our adult class is not only about following a curriculum. We especially focus on building self-confidence, self-defense skills, and developing physical, mental, and spiritual strength. Martial arts training is a way to improve overall well-being, discipline, focus, inner peace, and a healthy lifestyle.

Thank you to all our ATMAA adult family members for coming and giving your best effort. There was lots of sweat, hard work, teamwork, and a wonderful spirit throughout today’s training session.

Keep training. Keep learning. Keep growing together.
🙏🙏

Happy Birthday, DANIEL REYES!
We wish you happiness, good health, success, and continued achievements in everything you do.
ATMAA Family.

ATMAA rising stars, two brothers Neil Luitel and Naaman Luitel, proudly attended the 2026 IITA World Championship.

Both brothers are State Champions in Virginia and Pennsylvania and have achieved excellent results through their dedication, discipline, and hard work.

They travel more than one hour each way and attend classes twice a week with strong commitment and determination. ATMAA continues to provide opportunities for students who are interested in learning martial arts, even if they live in different cities.

Neil and Naaman are wonderful examples for all of us. If we truly have the interest and willingness to learn something, many things become possible. These two brothers have shown outstanding dedication and commitment to martial arts and became state champions within a short period of time.

They are always willing to learn new things, stay focused, listen carefully, and pay close attention to their instructors.

A special thank you to Master Sharada Rai for supporting and teaching them patterns to help prepare for the World Championship. They gave their very best effort at the championship and represented ATMAA with pride.

Best wishes to Neil and Naaman for their first-ever World Championship journey.
Continue training hard, stay humble, and enjoy every moment of your martial arts journey.

Make yourself proud.
Make your family proud.
Make ATMAA proud.
Make the Commonwealth of Virginia and the USA proud. 🇺🇸

Our most respected Senior Master John Starks Sir conducted tonight’s class and shared valuable lessons on how to discipline yourself, how to stay focused, how to listen carefully, pay attention, and how to defend yourself.

Senior Master John Starks Sir is a former U.S. veteran who continues to inspire students through his dedication, wisdom, and leadership.

Taekwon-Do is a martial art built on discipline, principles, respect, and self-development. It was founded by General Choi Hong Hi, a Korean military general and ambassador. The Taekwon-Do ranking system is inspired by military rank structures and reflects values such as responsibility, leadership, and continuous improvement.

All members paid close attention and learned many important lessons from our respected Senior Master John Starks Sir. Although he is 80 years old, he continues to teach with great passion, energy, and commitment.

This is truly a rare and valuable opportunity to learn life lessons, martial arts values, and meaningful education from such an experienced senior master.

Thank you to all members and families for attending tonight’s class and for your continued support and dedication.

With respect,
ATMAA Family 🙏
