> Karate For Kids

Tae kwon do lessons are a dynamic and challenging approach to the martial arts for children who are energetic, athletic, overweight, awkward, shy, nice or maybe even a little wild. Lee’s ATA offers this program to children aged 6-12 years old. At our school every kid is a winner, instead of a bench sitter because tae kwon do allows each child to reach their own potential rather than directly competing against other kids. The benefits of this program include improved self-confidence, which doesn’t come naturally for many children, but rather is developed over time by accomplishing new goals. Also, children learn self-defense which teaches the student to think instead of panic in potentially serious situations as well as how to react to threats from other kids.

A benefit of training at Lee’s ATA is better coordination because tae kwon do challenges the entire body, developing balance, agility, and poise, qualities that are often neglected in many team sports available to this age group. Being a Karate Kid also means being a better student. All children in the Karate for Kids program learn skills, such as following directions, paying attention in class, and participation in class activities that helps them to become better students. The Karate for Kids program runs in conjunction with the Tiny Tiger program, thereby emphasizing the same important monthly themes and value systems.
