Tigers
The ATA Tigers program is designed to teach children as young as four the basic skills associated with martial arts. Respect, confidence, sharing, and discipline are a few of the skills your child will learn in a fun and focused environment that adapts to your child’s learning style. As he or she learns to punch, kick, and block, they will also learn how and when to use their training. This program encourages children to set and accomplish goals, all while having fun and making new friends.
At Buckingham’s ATA Black Belt Academy and Karate for Kids, where every child is a winner, we teach so much more than Karate or Taekwondo. Your child will gain the tools to lead a successful and confident life. Don’t worry about being new! We enjoy making new friends. Your child will feel at home in no time in a welcoming environment. Karate for kids recognizes that every child is unique, and we love to bring out the best in our students by teaching them to embrace their individuality. Instructors will work one-on-one with your child to make sure he or she is learning confidently.
The Tigers program is for children ages 4 to 6 years with no martial arts experience and not yet in school. Class times are 30 minutes and we recommend attending twice a week. If you’re ready to get your child started on the right track, or if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call.
