The American Taekwondo Association (ATA) is the premier North American organization dedicated to the martial arts discipline of taekwondo, and is the founding organization of other international affiliates that include the World Traditional Taekwondo Union (WTTU) and the Songahm Taekwondo Federation (STF). 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.
Since the first class was taught many years ago, the focus of our program has remained the same: to provide students the highest quality martial arts instruction available in a safe and positive learning environment that people of all ages can enjoy. 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. He or she will be with you every step of the way to help you reach your individual goals (and maybe even reach some new goals you never before thought possible).
Why Karate for Children?
SELF- CONFIDENCE
Not every child has self-confidence, but it can be developed over time! We help children set goals and meet those accomplishments. As our students progress through the program they advance at their own pace. They are judged individually and not against others, giving them the confidence they need and deserve.
SELF –DEFENSE
Children’s self-defense takes many forms. Taekwondo teaches children to think instead of panic in potentially serious situations. We focus on how to react to real life situations in our classes.
BETTER GRADES
Being a Karate Kid helps children be better students. Our program emphasizes important success skills that enhance learning such as following directions, paying attention and participating everyday!
EVERY CHILD IS A WINNER
At our Karate for Kids Center, every child can be a winner! We encourage all children to reach for their own potential so no child ever gets left behind. Every child gets to participate everyday!
COORDINATION
Karate challenges the entire body, developing coordination, balance, agility and poise, elements often required in many team sports available to children in this age group.
LOTS OF FUN!
Karate lessons are a dynamic and challenging approach to the martial arts. Whether your child is athletic, awkward, outgoing or shy, we have just the program. Why not give it a try?
