         PROGRAMS      

 

Younger children Programs

     Tiny Cubs 3 years old 

Tiny Tigers  4-6 years old

 

 

          The leader in the children's martial arts programming has developed a dynamic program for the three to six years old.  The Tiny Tiger curriculum was designed with the needs of both the child and parent in mind.

     The media glamorizes violence and teaches little responsibility, resulting in aggressive behavior.  Our responsibility is to teach a strong value system. We stress Self-control and self-discipline.  Our students learn right from wrong.  Our entire program revolves around praise and positive correction, creating a positive happy environment.

      Our instructors are also keenly aware of their vocabulary development.  Explaining and demonstrating new phrases and words.  It is the simple things like utilizing the correct communication skills which allows our preschoolers to flourish in their new endeavors.

 

  Junior Program

  Karate for Kids 7-13 years old

 

     The curriculum for our "Karate for Kids" program is founded on the belief that every child is special and every child is a winner.  Our unique program is developed to teach children values in a positive fun environment.  We combine the right mixture of discipline, caring and fun.

     One of our main goals is to teach each child to be able to defend themselves in a threatening situation.  We must also make them aware of when it is proper time to use their skills and when to use their self-control.

     Our most important mission for teaching children is to develop a strong value system.  We do this through monthly themes, classroom discussions and our reinforcement through our "Karate for Kids" patch system.    

        

We strive to improve each students:

 

  • Concentration
  • Self-Discipline
  • Courtesy
  • Integrity
  • Respect
  • Character
  • Self-Esteem
  • School Performance

  

 

     By embodying the above principles, we commit to the development of today's youth.

 

 

 

 

Adult Program  Black Belt Academy

 

Black Belt Academy 14 years and up

 

 

     The American Taekwondo Association provides quality instruction for adults of all ages and needs.  Adults from all walks of life choose Taekwondo for a variety of reasons. The majority of our current students tell us they chose the ATA because of the professionalism of the instructors, classes and facilities.

     Age is not a factor in joining.  You are never too old to learn, develop and grow.

 

 

            Adults develop their:

  • Cardiovascular System

  • Exercise

  • Strength

  • Flexibility                   

 

 Many adults drop out of conventional exercise programs due to repetition and boredom. However, our students inform us that, Taekwondo is exercise with a purpose.

 

     Our adults students also enjoy the benefit of mastering a complete self-defense system.  In today's increasingly more violent society, this provides great peace of mind.  Our students have told us that they feel their confident walk and their keen sense of awareness have helped them avert dangerous situations.  Whatever your goal, please discuss it with your instructor, so he/she may help by setting up the best program for you.
