KARATE for KIDS!

This is a PROGRAM designed specifically for children.  It starts with our Tiny Tigers!  These students are 3-6 in age.

There are many reasons for kids to get involved with martial arts.  The ATA has developed a program for kids based on traditional Taekwondo, which we call Karate for Kids (or K4K).  In addition to learning technical skills, our K4K system is based on a lifetime learning concept.  The building blocks for the system include monthly themes such as the following:

Goals Friendship Perseverance
Self-Control Confidence Self-Improvement
Courtesy Self Awareness Respect
Integrity Self-Esteem Dedication

In addition to these themes, K4K includes the unique victory patch.  Kids are rewarded special "Victory Stars."  These different colored stars are given for outstanding performance at the studio, school, home or at a tournament competition.  Kids may receive the stars for the following deeds:

Gold Straight A’s, honor roll, or significant improvement
Silver Special performance awards
Blue Monthly themes, weekly lessons, classroom performance
Red Tournament participation

Four different colored Victory Patches are available to accommodate all the stars that can be earned by a high achieving Karate Kid:

Victory Patches

Blue 0-24 Stars
Silver 25-49 Stars
Gold 50-99 Stars
Blue/Gold 100+ Stars
