There are many reasons for kids to become involved in the martial arts. The ATA has 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:
In addition to monthly themes, our system includes the unique Victory Patch. Kids are rewarded special Victory Stars. Three different colored stars are rewarded for outstanding performance in karate class, school, home or at a tournament competition. Kids may receive the following stars for the following types of deeds:
Gold – Straight A’s, honor roll, or significant improvement at school Blue – Monthly themes, weekly lessons, class 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 based on the number of stars that have been earned.
