Adult Classes

Taekwondo isn't all "kid stuff" It's a sport that has an impact on every aspect of your life. Adults reap the benefits of taekwondo through physical and mental discipline. Life Skills such as courage, courtesy and perseverance are all part of the ATA curriculum. You will begin to have a more positive mental attitude and will see yourself setting and reaching goals.

Here are a few ways taekwondo can help you socially, academically and vocationally:

• Improved Physical Fitness
• Self-Defense
• Self-Confidence
• Goal-setting
• Discipline
• Improved Mental Focus

Special Abilities

Morris Dynamics offers classes to students with Cerebral Palsy and other special learning difficulties.

Taekwondo is a great way for these students to increase their strength and body control, can help to teach the student to defend himself and provides an excellent opportunity to engage in a competitive sport.

Neurologist, Janice Brunstrom of St. Louis, MO who also has Cerebral Palsy says, "With martial arts training, I learned to defend myself and therapeutically improved my strength and balance".

Taekwondo helps to improve focus, self-discipline, self-esteem and doesn't allow muscles to atrophy.

Black Belt Club

Students who display a good attitude, have good attendance and demonstrate “Black Belt Attitude”, may be invited to become members of the Black Belt Club. The Black Belt Club Program is a specially developed program by the ATA for all students regardless of age or rank.

This program allows students to attend class up to three times per week, as well as any extra seminars or clinics approved by their instructor. The Black Belt Club program was designed to create a personalized time line to help each student achieve his or her 1st Degree Black Belt.

Black Belt Club classes are more challenging and faster paced to allow the student to expand their ability. Students will begin board breaking, free-sparring, advanced self-defense and weapons training. The Black Belt Club program allows students to test up to 1st Degree Black Belt. These students are identified by a Black Belt Club patch, which is worn on the left shoulder.

Masters Club

The Masters Club program is for those students who are highly motivated and a have a great attitude.

Students who are invited to join the program train to be a higher rank black belt student, a Jr. Trainee Instructor, or a Trainee Instructor.

In addition to everything contained in the Black Belt Club classes, Master Club members work on Competition Weapons Forms, Judo throws and ground fighting (a Judo uniform is included in the membership), as well as other special Master Club only seminars.

Once enrolled in the Masters Club, Black Belt Club, or leadership clubs, students may choose to participate in any one of the following programs:

• S.W.A.T. - This is our Special Winning Attitude Team. It is a select group of students from our Black Belt Club or Masters Club who serve as role models and teacher's assistants. Their responsibility is to lead by example, exemplifying the behavior, character and motivation of a tip top Black Belt.
• Junior Trainee Instructor Program - This program's mission is to build future leaders of America for a better tomorrow. The program was devised in order to allow children, ages 8-15 to prepare themselves for the Trainee Instructor Program. It also aims to keep interest up and gives a broader outlook for the students to draw upon.
• Trainee Instructor Program - This program is for any student ages 16 and above to prepare them for instructor certification. Trainee instructors are people who enjoy teaching others or who are interested in a career in the martial arts.
