The ATA – THE AMERICAN TAEKWONDO ASSOCIATION

Many people from all walks of life decide to take up martial arts for a variety of reasons. Some choose to pursue martial arts to improve their physical and mental well-being, while others see the arts as an excellent hobby to practice. Some people want to take advantage of martial arts in order to gain crucial self-defense skills. Regardless of the reason, taking up martial arts with TryATA is a fun yet challenging practice that offers a broad array of benefits that go beyond self-defense and physical fitness.

Fitness

Staying fit is one of the major reasons for people to ask about TryATA martial arts training. It doesn’t matter if you are looking to tone your muscles, shed a few pounds or simply take on a more active lifestyle, martial arts workouts provide a fun, exciting and safe way of doing just that. Many people also prefer having the variety of exercises that come with martial arts training as opposed to the relative monotony of other forms of physical training. TryATA Martial arts training places emphasis on learning balance, coordination and endurance. Martial arts training can be combined with other sports activities to create a well-rounded sports schedule and improve overall performance on many levels.

Self-Defense

Another reason people ask about martial arts is to gain self-defense skills. Having the knowledge that you can defend yourself if need be offers greater confidence, raises self-esteem and gives you a greater sense of control during stressful situations. TryATA martial arts courses allow students to learn important self-defense skills in a safe and rewarding environment. In addition to the core curriculum, there are also programs specially tailored for women and law enforcement personnel.

Martial Arts and Stress Reduction

Stress is ever present in just about any aspect of our lives. TryATA Martial arts provides an excellent venue for releasing stress stemming from ordinary worries at home, school, work or just about any other area of life, in a controlled manner. Kicking, striking and punching exercises provide all of the physical exertion necessary for relieving stress and tension. Placing your entire focus on your martial arts training allows you to forget all about your worries, while giving you new ways of controlling and relieving stress and tension.

Self-Awareness

When students take up TryATA martial arts training, they often find that the martial arts require one to be in tune with their own body and mind. Our training helps foster a sense of self-awareness by making students aware of their body and their abilities. It also instills humility within students, since they are taught to respect the abilities and talents of fellow classmates. This sense of humility also keeps students safe during training, as it prevents an atmosphere of over-competitiveness from forming.

New Challenges

There’s never a dull moment or impending boredom when it comes to TryATA martial arts training. With new levels to reach and new goals to achieve, you won’t have to be afraid of getting bored with any aspect of your training.
