About Lago Vista ATA Martial Arts School
History
Mrs. Christina Schwartz, school owner and chief instructor, started Lago Vista ATA Black Belt Academy in 2000. The martial arts school had humble beginnings in small, rented office space on Dawn Drive.
The school expanded rapidly and soon had to move to larger space on Lohman's Ford. The majority of students were children, and a few adults started to trickle in. Mrs. Schwartz also started cardio workout classes in the mornings that quickly became very popular.
For a second time the amount of students outgrew the school, and Mrs. Schwartz decided to build her own new school building on Dawn Drive. The eagerly-awaited new school building was finally completed in September 2003. The new school provided magnificent training facilitites, as well as space for a after-school child care center.
Students
Our students are our main asset. Afterall, that's what Lago Vista ATA Black Belt Academy is all about - making a positive difference in the lives of each and every student.
Over the years, many students have joined us and experienced the joy of martial arts. Students have ranged from ages 4 to 65. Many of our students have earned their Black belts. A handful have even gone on to earn their 2nd and 3rd Degree Black belts, and are still working on learning that next skill or pursuing that next goal.
Our most important students are our White belt students - those who have just begun the martial arts journey and who are working hard on learning the basic skills that will eventually enable them to earn their own Black belts. Our instructors find great joy in working with our White belts because they realize what a wonderful opportunity they have to help guide them in the right direction.
After-School Transportation Program
Lago Vista ATA Black Belt Academy also offers an after-school transportation program available to the parents who work in town.
We pick children up in buses from Lago Vista schools and transport them to the ATA school. There the children can finish their school homework and attend their ATA classes at the appropriate time, all in one building!
There is a small play area where children play under supervision. In fact, the whole After-School program is supervised, so your child is never left on their own.
This program is only available to Taekwondo students. Your child needs to be enrolled in this program and an additional fee is applicable.
We have special programs available during summer vacation. Call us for details.
Please don't hesitate to call us at (512) 267-0250 if you have any questions about our martial arts school or transportation program.
