Programs

We have several programs for a variety of purposes, ranging from basic martial arts, to self- defence, to esteem and life skills building, and more. Over the years, the WTTU/ATA has come to realize that there are many reasons for studying Songahm Taekwondo, and we have worked hard to develop programs that will help realize these goals rather than forcing our students into one, linear area of study and practice. Songahm Taekwondo itself is always evolving, and as such, we will always develop new programs and update our existing programs to ensure our students have as much access to the different aspects of Songahm Taekwondo as possible.

Some of the benefits you can expect from training in Taekwondo:

Self-Defense
Fitness
Stress Reduction &
Confidence

Karate 4 Kids

There are many reasons for kids to become involved in the Martial Arts. We have 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
Courtesy
Integrity
Self-Awareness
Confidence
Self-Esteem
Perseverance
Self-Improvement
Respect
Dedication

Tiny Tigers

In addition to our internationally recognized KARATE for KIDS program, we offer the Taekwondo for TINY TIGERS program. The Tiny Tiger program was developed specifically for preschool age children ages 3 through 6. This program offers children a strong foundation in essential character qualities such as courtesy, respect, and discipline. In addition, the program is designed to improve children's motor skills and enhance their ability to pay attention and follow directions. All classes are taught using the most safe, fun, and exciting instruction methods available for this age group. This program works in conjunction with the Karate for Kids program, thereby emphasizing the same important monthly themes and value system.

Adult & Teen Classes

Adults and Teens train to the best of their ability. Some students come to us in shape, while others have come to us 100 pounds overweight. Most come to us with limited flexibility. Adults start at any age, as we have had some adults who started as late as age 65, and have still earned their black belts. As a student, you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to anyone else. Our instructors will be there every step of the way to help you set and achieve your goals. All that is expected of you is a willingness to try.

Family Classes

This class is for the whole family regardless of belt rank. We recognize the fact that parents come to watch their children’s classes and it can be difficult for parents to be able to schedule extra time to be able to attend their own classes. Many parents join as white belts after their children have earned higher ranks and the children enjoy helping their parents learn what they have already learned.
