Current Class Schedule 2011

 

Tiny Tigers
The ATA’ s Tiny metformin hcl 850 mg Tigers program is an age-appropriate introduction to songahm taekwondo for students between the ages of four and seven years. The program focuses on developing gross motor skills, listening comprehension, physical coordination, personal discipline, and a black belt attitude! When students graduate from the Tiny Tigers at the age of seven or eight, they will be ready to join the “Karate Kids” program and begin their regular taekwondo training. Do you have a “Tiny Tiger” at home? Bring them in to watch a class and see if they don’t want to join us!

Karate Kids
Karate Kids are between seven and fourteen years of age. The Kids classes focus on developing complex motor skills, coordination, confidence and discipline in our students while giving them a great workout! The ATA’s Life Skills curriculum is central to every class; we use it to teach students virtues such as goal-setting, courtesy, respect, and perseverance while we teach them taekwondo. Of course, we also teach plenty of practical self defense, including the avoidance and management of conflict. If you think your child might benefit from our programs, call us today!

Teens and Adults
Contrary to popular belief, you’re NEVER too old, too stiff, too uncoordinated, or too out of shape to study taekwondo! All that is necessary is a willingness to learn. (In fact, most of our students gained their current levels of flexibility, cardio-vascular fitness and strength by joining taekwondo.) Our oldest student was in her sixties when she first joined us and the ATA even has competition divisions for students who are in their eighties! If you think you’d like to try taekwondo but you’re still apprehensive, please call us; one of our staff members will be glad to speak with you. You’ll be glad you did!

ATA Fit
This class is guaranteed to boost every student’s fitness levels! ATA Fit was developed to help prepare advanced black belts for the ATA Personal Fitness Test, an internationally-mandated test of physical strength and endurance. ATA Fit utilizes whole-body exercises to push students to improve their own level of fitness for greater health and martial arts success.
