TAEKWONDO - KRAV MAGA - KICKBOXING - SELF DEFENSE


Taekwondo is an exciting and powerful martial art known for its dynamic kicking and hand techniques. Although these martial art techniques are centuries old, our programs are always evolving to keep pace with the rapidly changing world.

We realize that each student possesses different physical abilities. Size and strength vary with each individual. Once you have acquired a strong foundation in the basics, our program will enhance your physical capabilities and maximize your self-defense skills. You will understand exactly what it takes, mentally and physically, to defend yourself or your loved ones should the need ever arise.

At Shuman’s ATA, we are not interested in just teaching self-defense, we are interested in the complete personal development of each student. Individual attention is a feature of each and every class, allowing all students to progress quickly and confidently toward their personal goals. Our instructors take their responsibility seriously as role models for younger students, teaching them the importance of strong character, leadership and good values.

This program works in conjunction with the Karate for Kids program, thereby emphasizing the same important monthly themes and value system.

The curriculum is based on the belief that every child is special and every child is a winner. The Karate for Kids system is based on a lifetime learning concept in addition to technical skills. The building blocks (Life Skills) for our system are monthly themes such as:
