Why Karate For Kids?

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 (Taekwondo) 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 direction, paying attention in class and participate in class activities that help them to become better students. Highest quality classes available in any sport anywhere.

Karate for Kids makes a difference because Karate Kids learn how to follow directions, pay attention in class, participate in classroom activities. Our children's course dramatically improves concentration, which pays off with better grades in school. All of this is accomplished in a positive, fun environment that children and anticipate each week.

Every Child Wins - In Karate (Taekwondo), every kid can be a winner instead of a bench sitter because Karate allows children to reach their own potential rather than directly competing against other kids.

Coordination - Karate (Taekwondo) challenges the entire body, developing coordination, balance, agility and poise, often neglected in many team sports available to children in this age group.

Fun - Karate lessons are dynamic and challenging approach to the martial arts for children who are athletic energetic, awkward or shy, bold, nice or maybe even a little wild once in a while. Karate is probably for a kid just like yours.

Our Pledge - We are dedicated to giving every child a professional, well-supervised and fun martial arts experience!

Who and What are Tiny Tigers?

Welcome to the world of preschoolers, our newest and most exciting students yet! We call the preschoolers Tiny Tigers because they have unlimited energy and little fear. Like a tiger cub, everything is new, exciting, and challenging to them.

The "Tiny Tiger" program offers children a strong foundation in basics such as: courtesy, respect, discipline, following directions, and increased motor skills. These are traits that all parents want for their children. By teaching these skills in fun and exciting ways, we can help them develop into future leaders.

We aspire to follow the concepts that are taught in preschools:

• 3 years old - Emphasis is placed on developing motor skills, eye/hand coordination, social skills, and attention building.
• 3 - 4 years old - Emphasis is placed on gross and fine motor skills, social skills, social and emotional skills, cognitive development, and language development.
• 5 - 6 years old - Emphasis is placed on complex motor skills, cognitive development, basic understanding of numbers, reading information and performing up to their own ability.

Tigers are sponges. Give them knowledge or an experience and they will soak it up, ready to absorb anything else that is given to them. Tigers are the sponges and the ATA instructor is the rain.

Our Tiny Tiger programs are designed to encourage social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth in children. Preschool children have a very short attention span, short term and selective memories, very little socialization skills, and lack courtesy, respect and discipline. What these preschoolers lack is what we specialize in teaching. We help improve student's attention spans, memory, socialization skills courtesy, respect and discipline.

It is our belief that your Tiger's preschool teacher will notice the improved behavior that your student shows over the other children. Parents want their child to learn courtesy, discipline, and respect - we have the ability to model your child to be future leaders.
