TINY TIGERS (ages 3-6)

Tiny Tigers

In addition to our internationally recognized Karate for Kids program, we offer the Taekwondo for Tiny Tigers program. The Tiny Tiger program was developed specifically for preschool age children ages 3 through 6. This program offers children a strong foundation in essential character qualities such as courtesy, respect, and discipline. In addition, the program is designed to improve children’s motor skills and enhance their ability to pay attention and follow directions. All classes are taught using the most safe, fun, and exciting instruction methods available for this age group. This program works in conjunction with the Karate for Kids program, thereby emphasizing the same important monthly themes and value system.

 

KARATE for KIDS (ages 6-12)

ATA Karate For Kids

There are many reasons for kids to become involved in the martial arts. We have developed a program based on traditional Taekwondo for kids called Karate for Kids. The Karate for Kids system is based on a lifetime learning concept in addition to technical skills. The building blocks for our system are monthly themes such as self-control, perseverance, respect, integrity, and self-esteem.

What do children learn in our program?

  • Self Confidence - It doesn’t come naturally for many children, but rather is developed over a period of time. As a child accomplishes new goals, his or her confidence level increases. Children become more self confident in karate because they progress individually at their own pace and are not judged against others.
     
  • Self-Defense - Children’s self defense takes many forms. Karate teaches children to think instead of panic in potentially serious situations as well as how to react to threats from other kids.    

  • Better Grades - Being a Karate Kid also means being a better student. All kids in the Karate for Kids program learn skills, such as following directions, paying attention in class, and participate in class activities that help them to become better students.
     
  • Every Child Wins - In karate, every kid can be a winner instead of a bench sitter because karate allows children to reach for their own potential rather than directly competing against other kids.
     
  • Coordination - Karate challenges the entire body, developing coordination, balance, agility, and poise… qualities often neglected in many team sports available to children in the age group.
