Graf's ATA Martial Arts - Leadership Program

                                                                                           Back

Being a leader and developing leadership skills is learned. While some children may have a little more confidence in themselves than others, it does not necessarily make them a leader. As a parent, you play a huge part in whether your child is a leader or follower in life.

When a student shows interest and the desire to take their training to the next level they are invited to join the ATA Leadership program.

We stress valuable Leadership skills that focus on Goal-Setting, Belief, Honesty, Discipline, Communication skills, and Self esteem. Leadership Team students receive special training to develop these critical personal development and hi-level achievement skills.

Leadership students receive advanced instructions on techniques of training and are called upon to assist our Instructors in the delivery of classes.  We will teach students the skills necessary to be effective leaders and to have a positive influence over their peers rather than their peers having any influence over them. They will learn how to be prepared to do their absolute best at anything they pursue and to become positive examples for others to follow. 

We encourage your child to stay focused on maintaining a positive attitude no matter what the people around them say or do. We instill skills that help you child stand up to peer pressure everyday so they can make choices for themselves. We teach your children to say “Yes I can!” even when they are not sure. This training helps them understand the power of a positive attitude.

5 Key Qualities Of A Leadership Student:

  • A Leadership Student learns “Yes, I Can!”

    It's called the power of Positive Attitude.

  • A Leadership Student learns “It's not a problem, it's a Challenge!”

    It's called Overcoming Adversity.

  • A Leadership Student learns “Never give up, never give up, never give up!”

    It's called Perseverance.

  • A Leadership Student learns “I may fail or make mistakes BUT I always learn and move ahead!”

    It's called Commitment.

  • A Leadership Student learns “I will always do my best!”

    It's called Excellence.


As a parent, the question you need to ask is:

“Do I want MY child to be a leader or a follower?”

5 Key Qualities Of A Leadership Student These are the skills Austin ATA Martial Arts can help your child learn and develop that will help them become a leader. These skills will EMPOWER your children with the CONFIDENCE and tools to make the right choices for themselves. Because it really is up to you!

In addition, Leadership Team students are eligible to compete for State, National and World Championship titles. These students are entered into Trainee Instructor (Adults) or Junior Trainee Instructor (Children) Program. The Junior Trainee Instructor (JTI) program is offered to our students ages 14 and younger.  The JTI program builds future leaders of America for a better tomorrow. The program was devised to allow children to prepare themselves for the Trainee Instructor Program.
