Welcome to the first-time competitors page! We hope you leave this page feeling confident and prepared for your ATA tournament experience. Our videos feature Senior Master Tony Rosa, a respected ATA licensee and instructor within the ATA community. He walks you through what to wear, what to bring, when to arrive, and what to expect. While this page is extremely helpful, we encourage you to speak with your instructor as well for guidance. We'll see you at a national event soon!
