Parent testimonials

Atlanta Kick has played a significant role in the development of our children. As our two boys learned karate, they developed truly meaningful relationships with their teachers, which I think is the most special part about Atlanta Kick. Unlike their parents or their teachers at school, these adults became mentors, champions, and friends. They challenged the boys to grow not only in technique, but in confidence, leadership, and integrity. The staff has truly watched them “grow up”, sharing in their victories and set backs. We feel like they are an extension of our family. The staff at Atlanta Kick provided top notch karate instruction (and its related discipline) in a personalized, supportive way.

Karate has instilled in both of my sons a sense of confidence, strength, a passion to be the best that they can be, and the knowledge that if they persevere on a task, that they can reach their goal. The instructors at Atlanta Kick take the positive approach to instruction, and although they are serious and push the students, they do so in a constructive way that encourages them to be their best. As a student moves up the ranks toward black belt, he or she learns that the journey to black belt is their own and they learn to be competitive with themselves, rather than competing with their peers. Because each student is on his or her individual path, the students support each other and there is wonderful team spirit and encouragement among the students.

While taking part in the Leadership Team, they have learned leadership skills and have brought those lessons into their school and personal lives. As part of this program, they were able to assist in the younger classes and teach other children techniques and forms.

5 Reasons Every Child Should be Enrolled in Karate

1. Improved Report Cards: Our curriculum is designed to teach children the importance of concentration. Improved concentration means that your child will learn more at school. Therefore, you can expect your child to receive better grades for both academics and attitude.
2. Karate Builds Healthy Kids: Karate is a great work-out. Your child will breath better, eat better and sleep better. Children who take Karate are slimmer, make better decisions about food, and in general, learn to take care of themselves.
3. Respect: Kids in our program learn respect. You won’t find yourself repeating yourself over and over, or arguing with your child like most parents do. Kids learn to be respectful of their parents and teachers. You might even catch your child saying: Yes Ma’am or Yes Sir!
4. Self Confidence: Kids who take Karate develop better self-confidence. They’re encouraged to take chances, to push themselves further than they thought possible. The success they experience through Karate teaches them that they can be successful at anything if they truly believe they can and are willing to work hard. Improved confidence leads to better grades, a better circle of friends, better performance in sports and extracurricular activities in general.
5. Self-Defense: Karate teaches two forms of self-defense. One is physical, you will improve your strength, flexibility and overall health. The second form of self-defense Karate teaches is internal. Our students learn to spot danger and avoid dangerous people, places and activities. Karate can help you avoid the need for a physical confrontation.
