Adelaide Taekwondo Academy
At ATA we understand the importance of children’s growth period during this age group. Classes are designed to develop their listening and
motor skills through basic taekwondo concepts and movements. Discipline, respect, confidence and character building are encouraged in a fun learning atmosphere.
Basic yet realistic self defence is also taught in verbal and physical aspects to help the children be aware of stranger danger.
All classes for this age group are conducted in a fun and rewarding environment with a special colour belt grading system that is unique to this age group, before they begin their journey to black belt.
Starting at junior class, students begin their path to black belt by learning the traditional and self defence aspects of Taekwondo.
Respect for self and others, discipline, confidence and anti bully tactics are taught to help the student not only in class,
but at school and other aspects of their life.
Motor skills such as agility, coordination, speed, technique, flexibility and concentration are taught and practiced in each class in various ways.
Sport training and drills are also implemented in some classes, but sport specific is primarily offered in a separate class, for those who have attained
their yellow belt and have permission by the head instructor to participate.
In these classes, there are a variety of abilities based on age, gender and natural abilities. This is recognised by the instructor(s) and catered for.
In regards to grading purposes, people are graded on not only what is required for the next level, but based on their individual improvement.

are taught with a higher level of technical detail and precision.
