Marshalltown's Christian ATA offers several benefits.

These benefits are achieved through the following programs. For more
information follow the links and read more.
- Leadership Club
- Leadership club includes anyone who wishes to learn how to become a
leader not only in our club, but in our
community. Every member of the leadership club can participate in advanced
training which is of great benefit in their overall martial arts
experience.
-
- Black Belt Club
- The black belt club is offered for all camo through red belts, and
includes training in forms, one-steps, sparring
and board breaking techniques appropriate
for each rank.
Also included is training in weapons. This
instruction gives the student a good basis from which to draw when they
become a black belt where training in weapons is required. For this reason,
it is recommended that all camo through red belts receive training in either
Single Bahng Mahng Ee or Single Ssahng Jeol Bong as these are required at
first degree black belt.
-
- Basic Club
- Our basic club is offered for White - Yellow belt students. This
training includes a good introduction to Taekwondo. During this time the
student will receive instruction in Forms and
One-Steps designed to give a firm grounding in
the basic techniques of Taekwondo and to give the student a sense of
distance for the delivery of those techniques.
Also received at each rank is a book and a video which greatly benefits
training outside of our center. We strongly encourage anyone who is entering
a martial arts program to train not only in the dojang, but also at home.
These classes are high energy and fun, so come on in and try it out!
