Students in this program focus on learning how to be a student of the martial arts. They train on the basic techniques so as to create a strong baseline of skill to build on as they progress toward the Black Belt level. Basic Rank students are encouraged to work for personal victories. As with all programs our main focus is life skill training. Students learn both the concepts and gain in areas such as discipline, confidence, focus, and self-esteem.

Students in the Leadership Program have the opportunity to participate in the leadership portion of class. Please speak to the Chief Instructor at your Academy if you are interested in this program.

ATA offers Certified Instructor Training (CIT) for students who are interested in becoming a martial arts instructor some day. For more information on the CIT program, please speak to the Chief Instructor at your Academy.
