Programs
Once you have acquired a strong foundation in the basics, our programs will enhance your physical capabilities and maximize your self-defense skills. You will understand exactly what it takes, mentally and physically, to defend yourself or your loved ones should the need ever arise. At the Rowlett ATA Black Belt Academy, we are not interested in just teaching self-defense, we are interested in the complete personal development of each student.

Leadership NOW Program
While leadership is one of the attributes emphasized in all ATA programs, our Leadership NOW program offers students an opportunity to aspire to an even greater level of achievement. Leadership NOW's mission is to create leaders that are meeting the needs of our world...adept at the core life skills which are integral to ATA's curriculum.
Leadership NOW students learn about the importance of leading by example and of community service. They're asked to bring a greater level of focus to their physical training, and are rewarded with more generous training opportunities and advanced curriculum.
Bully Prevention & Safety Awareness
Bullying is one of the troubling issues plaguing schools today. Research has shown that left unchecked, bullying leads to bigger problems, including emotional distress, decreased academic performance, delinquency, depression and even thoughts of suicide. It is destructive for the kids being bullied, the kids doing the bullying, and even kids who witness the bullying. In order to help combat this growing problem, the ATA has teamed up with Olweus to create the most comprehensive bullying prevention program available anywhere. For the first time in any martial arts organization we have the real information and the real data about what's going on with bullying and are able to help our children with the tools needed to help deal with bullies, both in and out of an academic setting. Children will learn valuable skills on how to recognize and react to bullying in this engaging and interactive curriculum. The key takeaways we focus on are developing appropriate responses to difficult situations, confidence building and leadership skills.
