Ask About ATA Tigers
Built Specifically for Preschoolers
Four-, five- and six-year-olds learn differently than older kids, so ATA Tigers was developed just for them. Every class is designed to:
- Improve motor skills: balance, coordination and body control
- Grow attention span: listening and following directions the first time
- Build character: courtesy, respect and discipline in simple, kid-sized lessons
Classes move quickly, use plenty of positive reinforcement, and are taught with safe, fun and exciting methods made for this age group.


Skills That Help in Kindergarten and Beyond
Parents of Tigers often notice the difference at home and at preschool first:
- Waiting their turn and keeping hands to themselves
- Answering "Yes, ma'am" and "Yes, sir" with confidence
- Trying again after a mistake instead of giving up
- Better balance and coordination on the playground and in sports

Tigers Earn Their Own Victory Stars
Just like our Karate for Kids students, ATA Tigers have their own Victory Patch and earn colored Victory Stars for great effort in class, at school and at home, adjusted for preschool age. Tigers follow the same monthly character themes as the kids program, so lessons stay consistent as they grow. Four colors of Victory Patch give high-achieving Tigers something new to work toward.
