Karen Fresh A native of Madison, Wisconsin, Karen lived there until December of 1972 when she graduated from the University of Wisconsin in Elementary Education with a minor in mathematics. She married her husband Mark in December of 1973 and has three sons, eight daughters and two granddaughters. She taught outside the home as well as homeschooling her eleven children (plus a friend’s son and a nephew). She spent some years in the Delaware and Pennsylvania area before moving to northeast Ohio and eventually to Lake Havasu City in June of 1985. Her parents had moved here in August of 1972 and treasuring family, she decided to join them. Karen joined her sons at Taekwondo in January of 1995 at Spradlin’s Taekwondo. She was joined by her daughters and eventually by her husband. (She received her brown belt the day before her eleventh child was born.) She began instructing in 1999 and received her Certified Instructor status in October of 2003. (She has since taken classes and recertified through September of 2011.)

Counting both the U.S. and worldwide, our organizations have over 1,500 independently owned and operated licensed schools and clubs, and we are beginning to register over 300,000 members.

Our instructors combine excellent student instructor ratios with state of the art training facilities. This has helped establish ATA schools and clubs as the leaders in the martial arts industry. Each instructor is a graduate of an instructor program that represents more than thirty years of research and development.
