About the ATA

ATA Europe Ltd is a subsidiary of ATA International, the world's largest centralised martial arts organisation with about 1,000 licensed locations worldwide. Since the ATA's founding in 1969 by Grand Master Haeng Ung Lee, our schools have trained over one million students worldwide.

For over 50 years, the ATA has enabled passionate martial artists to become skilled instructors and successful business owners. We were the first martial arts organisation to adopt computer recordkeeping systems, the first to publish a member magazine, and the first to develop an instructor training manual.

Throughout our long history, the focus of ATA International has remained the same: to provide students with the highest quality martial arts curriculum available in a fun and positive learning environment that people of all ages can enjoy.

Haeng Ung Lee

Grand Master Haeng Ung Lee founded the ATA in 1969, developed the Songahm style of Taekwondo, and inspired instructors worldwide with his philosophy of "Today not possible, tomorrow possible."

The Director

Jordan Schreiber

Chief Master Jordan Schreiber, the Director of ATA Europe Ltd, is an 8th degree black belt with almost 40 years of martial arts experience and over 35 years of teaching experience. In the last 30 years, he has owned and operated martial arts schools and clubs throughout the United States (in Massachusetts, Connecticut and California) and in Oxford and West Oxfordshire.

He has an undergraduate degree from Harvard, a law degree (magna cum laude) from Harvard Law School, and a D.Phil from Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar.

Before returning to England in 2021, Chief Master Schreiber established a school in the San Francisco Bay Area, which he operated for nearly 20 years. The school had 300 students, generated over $600,000 (£450,000) in annual revenue, was repeatedly voted "Best Martial Arts" by Bay Area parents, and earned a 5-star rating on Yelp.

In 2007, Chief Master Schreiber was named "Best Citizen" by the East Bay Express newspaper. In 2008, his approach to instruction was highlighted by the George Lucas Educational Foundation as an example of what works in education. He also has been featured in Taekwondo World Magazine, The Way Magazine, ATA World Magazine (in 2007 and 2008), the San Francisco Chronicle and the Contra Costa Times.

Chief Master Schreiber and his family now live in Eynsham, Oxfordshire, where he owns and operates Menssana Martial Arts.

With the support of ATA's business systems and mentors, we grew our operation from 80 students to 500 in a five year period of time. Ten years later, we are running three locations that serve over 1000 students. None of this would have been possible without the ATA.

SETH ERIC BIRKY

The ATA business training has been a cornerstone to the success of our business for over 35 years. The synergistic atmosphere of all of the ATA instructors was crucial to get us through the challenges of Covid in 2020. Thank you ATA leadership for having the best training for today's opportunities.

TINA NEWBERRY

ATA Business Training has helped my school enroll more effectively and retain students longer. We went from 0-200 active students in the first 14 months of operation!

WES BOYER

I have gained so much knowledge and help from not only ATA seminars but also the other ATA school owners and community. ATA has given me the tools to grow my school by almost triple in the last year!

ANDY DIXON

I am so grateful for all of the ATA seminars. I am always learning new and exciting material to introduce to my students.

MARY JOHANNESEN

When we reached out to ATA in a difficult time, ATA responded with Zoom trainings, help with our business plan, and private training. ATA went above and beyond!
