Hello
Welcome to Martial Arts Grand Traverse — MAGT for short, formerly known as ATA Martial Arts.
New name, same ownership & commitment to helping you grow stronger, inside and out!
At MAGT, we believe martial arts is more than kicks and punches —it’s a powerful path to confidence, focus, and lifelong personal growth. Our high-energy classes and inclusive community help kids, teens, and adults build strength, resilience, and real-world skills that go far beyond wearing the Dobok on the mat.
We’re not just building martial artists —we’re building unstoppable humans!
We are a female — owned and operated Dojang located in northern michigan

Benefit comparison: martial arts vs. no martial arts
• Children (Ages 3–11) enrolled in martial arts show notable gains in social and emotional development, especially in self-control, confidence, and peer interaction.
• Teens and Adults (Ages 12+) enrolled in martial arts benefit strongly in stress management, mental focus, and emotional resilience, making martial arts a powerful lifelong tool.
• Those not enrolled in martial arts generally experience fewer structured opportunities to develop these skills in a consistent, supportive environment.
Build Strength, Skill & Confidence — At Every Stage of Life
From traditional Taekwondo to high-impact sparring, self-defense, and conditioning —there’s a martial arts program at MAGT for everyone.
