ATA Martial Arts Tricities is now closed for two weeks of Spring Break. Please note that this year, our Spring Break overlaps but doesn t exactly match the school break for SD43. We ll see you back in class on Tuesday, April 5th.

It’s that time of year again where public schools close for Spring break and École Des Pionniers is unavailable to us from March 14th to the 29th inclusive. Unfortunately that means that we will not have access to the school for most of our classes. Also, the week of March 28th to April 2nd 2016, Mr. John, Miss John and myself will be at our Spring National Tournament in Las Vegas for important training and testing that will help us to become a more rounded and self sufficien...t club. Mr. John will be testing for his 4th degree Black Belt (which at this level can only be done at a national event) and Miss John and myself will be taking a course that will allow us to better train and certify our students. I have been trying to arrange possible time in the school during some of the off time, however it is very expensive to have the door opened for us as I am not allowed to have a key. Then there is the alarm (which is usually not a problem), that is set much earlier when the school is See more

Our next belt testing is on Thursday, March 10, 2016 Tiny Tigers will start at 6:00 PM; testing for all other students will start at 6:45 PM. Everyone is welcome to come and watch. Our students appreciate the support of having friends and family present to cheer them on. (If you re new to ATA Martial Arts Tricities or you re looking for a martial arts academy in the Port Coquitlam area, and you d like to observe our testing process, please call Mrs. John at 604-209-8493 so we can meet you at the door.) Please be on time! Once testing has started, there will be no one available to open the doors at the front of the building.
