ATA Leadership

Choose to Learn. Choose to Lead. Choose ATA Leadership.

The ATA Leadership Program is for students who are ready to take the next step in their martial arts journey. It develops leaders through advanced training in both physical and mental disciplines — and prepares students for success well beyond the mat, in academics, careers and community service.

The curriculum adds specialty weapons training and ATA-Xtreme instruction on top of the standard syllabus, alongside a life-skills track built around discipline, respect, belief, self-esteem and communication. It asks for real dedication and personal commitment.
