Black Belt Club

The Black Belt Club Program is a program developed by the American Taekwondo Association. It is open to all students regardless of rank or age. It represents the highest level of our "Success through Goal Setting" philosophy. Black Belt Club members are those individuals who have set their goal at "Black Belt." Students must know exactly what their goal is if they are to move toward it with desire and conviction. A Black Belt Club patch is worn on the left sleeve of the uniform to remind them of their goal every time they put on their uniform.

Leadership Program

The Leadership Program is our elite training program. It is designed for students not only to earn their black belt, but to become a leader in the community, at home, and at school or work. All the benefits of the Black Belt Club program are available to Leadership Program students. Additionally, students receive classes that focus on advanced board breaking, self-defense, weapons training, extreme martial arts, and tournament competition. In these classes we focus on skills that students need to become effective leaders.

ATA X-Treme Martial Arts

The X-Treme Martial Arts program is part of the leadership program. It takes martial arts to the next level by incorporating gymastics, dance, and music into a free-style form. Students also create X-treme free-style weapons forms in this program. Our X-Treme Martial Arts program develops creativity and allows students to express themselves by personalizing their martial art. Mike Chat, creator of XMA, describes his program as: “The ability to perform highly skilled moves and also the ability to perform basic moves and make them look spectacular! This is why XMA is not only for the elite level athletes and competitors, but also for beginners at the entry level as well. It is the look in one’s eyes and position of one’s body that tells the story. It’s not only about punching and kicking, or jumping and flipping, but more, showing strength through the mind as well as the body. To stand planted with your feet on the ground and command the attention of the audience without sound or movement, using only the look in your eyes and the strength of your stance, actually shows more power than any punch, kick or flip. That’s Xtreme!"
