ANY OF THESE CHALLENGES?
They struggle to maintain control of their movements and may be unintentionally destructive.
They find it difficult to focus on a task or to see it through to the end.
They have a hard time sharing their belongings and getting along with other kids.
PARENTING YOUNG CHILDREN IS A REAL CHALLENGE.
You must balance their natural inquisitiveness and high energy with trying to teach them the basic skills they need for school and life.
Discipline, sharing, and self-control are all things they need to learn to be successful.
The ideal setting is one that’s got some structure but works with kids at their current developmental level. If they have fun while they’re learning, they’ll be more likely to retain those lessons and learn the skills they need.
RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY CLASS!
Studying martial arts is ideal for young children. It provides them with an outlet for their energy. But, it also teaches them about respect, discipline, and other core values that will go with them beyond the dojo. Junior martial arts classes teach kids to control their movements and behavior, and they’ll learn social skills and interaction at the same time.
STUDYING MARTIAL ARTS BUILDS PHYSICAL COORDINATION AND CONTROL
Young children who learn martial arts find out quickly that each movement must be intentional. They learn to control their movements to the best of their ability.
They also practice hand-eye coordination and learn about their bodies. That means they’ll be less likely to be unintentionally destructive.
YOUNG MARTIAL ARTS STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO FOCUS
Getting young kids to pay attention can feel like an impossible task. The structure of our martial arts classes shows kids the importance of focus and teaches them by having them apply it to easily-achievable tasks.
The focus they learn in the dojo is something they’ll take home – and into the classroom. That’s why kids who study martial arts tend to be good students, too.
MARTIAL ARTS HELPS KIDS LEARN TO DEAL WITH FRUSTRATION
Martial arts instruction requires students to pursue goals to earn new belts. Young kids can easily become frustrated when they don’t get what they want, but studying martial arts helps them learn the power of persistence.
The physical activity in our classes also helps kids manage stress and anxiety by allowing them to burn it off in a safe and constructive way.
KIDS WHO STUDY MARTIAL ARTS LEARN GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
Losing is not anybody’s idea of fun, but we all need to learn how to accept a defeat gracefully and move on. We teach students that losing is part of life – and it’s what you do after you lose that tells people who you are.
Even though martial arts is an individual sport, we cultivate an environment of supportive teamwork where students root for one another.

My son Joey just turned 5 when we enrolled him with ATA as a Tiny Tiger. He was so EXTREMELY shy and sensitive that he was terrified to talk to anyone new and cried all the time.He worked closely with Instructor Ms. Dalida and we saw him come out his shell and his confidence grew all while having a BLAST! We enrolled him into the Leadership program to build his leadership skills and confidence and to start him competing in tournaments. Joey was confident enough to join Mr. Dalida’s weapon class and competed in many tournaments in Colorado and even Spring Nationals in Las Vegas Nevada where he become New Mexicos State Champ 2020!! After 4 years with ATA Joey earned his 1st degree Black Belt. Mr. Dalida and Ms. Dalida helped shape Joey into the man he is becoming, he is using his leadership skills in his everyday life. We will forever be grateful for the Amazing Instructors that had such a huge impact!
My daughter began taekwondo at 4 and a half. She was shy, reserved, not confident, and often tripped over her own two feet! She began in the Tiny Tigers program with Mr and Ms Dalida. At first, she cried every time she wasn't perfect, but both instructors were so patient with her and slowly, she learned it was ok to not be perfect at first. She is now almost 10 and is one of the most confident kids I know! She is so coordinated and graceful. She uses the taekwondo mindset of being a peace maker and problem solver all the time! I cannot thank the Dalida's enough!

We joined the ATA family with Mr. Dalida for six years. During this time, three of our kids had the pleasure of learning, and being positively influenced by, Taekwondo and the Strange/Dalida family. That was a transitional time for my kids, as they gained self confidence, discipline, and respect. We gained a new community with forever friends. We are grateful for the lessons in perseverance and frustration tolerance, which are still used today. Mr. Dalida shows patience, kindness, and works well with students of all ages. We highly recommend Bosque ATA!

AJ, Leanne, and late tita Flo are not only great people and community API leaders but also passionate in sharing their gifts and talents in the martial arts.
I have benefited as a student myself. My son who also enjoyed the training and foundations in learning Taekwondo and basic skills as a toddler had a great time. We also appreciate the values of discipline, community, and family that were shared.
We highly recommend trying it out and see Mr Dalida!
