ATA Leadership NOW
Fitness
We enrolled our son into Leadership to improve his confidence and communication skills. Now he greets people with a smile, looks them in the eyes, gives them a healthy handshake and introduces himself. We couldn't be happier!
Take the President's Challenge with ATA!
Grand Master In Ho Lee, 9th Degree Black Belt and leader of WTTU/ATA/STF, invites everyone to join him taking the President's Challenge, showcasing ATA Martial Arts as the nation's most fun and most effective way to get and stay physically fit!
Recent studies show that one in five adults and just as many children in most United States are obese. Often the culprits are poor nutrition and lack of exercise. Even a third of American pets are obese. Grand Master In Ho Lee wants martial artists everywhere to reverse this deadly trend by turning more people on to our favorite athletic activity - Songahm Taekwondo!
Taekwondo is “a martial art that trains people both mentally and physically”
that has been around for 13 centuries, but most people do not seem to realize
how remarkable, profound, and far-ranging the benefits can truly be! Grand
Master wants to “raise the profile” of our favorite activity so that more people
learn to live The Way, and naturally he is leading by example. Grand Master
joined the President's Challenge in July 2011, and has since won a Presidential
Active Lifestyle Award (PALA), plus Bronze, Silver, Gold, and the ultimate prize
- The Platinum Award - as a Presidential Champion in 2012, with no signs of
slowing down. An assistant
records his daily
Warrior X-Fit
and Songahm Taekwondo workouts, plus
leisure sports, yard work, and other activities that keep him looking and
feeling great – and winning!
