This program works in conjunction with the Karate for Kids program, thereby emphasizing the same important monthly themes and value system.

The ATA Tigers program includes a 9 book series by award winning writers and illustrators. Each book is carefully crafted to showcase life skills and teachable moments. The ATA Tiger books are sure to be one of your child’s favorite stories and a great tool to reinforce the skills parents teach at home.

Promotions

Each time your Tiger is ready to graduate (advance in rank) they will receive the following:

-Their new animal print belt that matches their rank’s character.

-A stuffed plush animal to represent that character.

-A book to read and learn from while training in that rank.

Tigers are asked to bring their stuffed animal to class every day to train with in their gear bag.

Characters

At the heart of the ATA Tigers program are the nine awesomely-animated characters who in story form, train with the students.  Each character has a distinctive personality that can be used to help teach life lessons to Tiger students.
