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:

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

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.
