Over the past 40+ years the American Taekwondo Association has developed an intensive instructor training program to insure that all ATA instructors are skilled and professional teachers. Before becoming certified, ATA black belts spend 2-3 years as instructor trainees, during which time they are required to teach at least 300 hours under the supervision of a senior instructor. They are also required to earn certification in CPR and Youth Protection and attend instruction camp.

The teaching curriculum at Indianapolis ATA Black Belt Academy is based on two concepts: "positive mental attitude" and "high goal setting." We feel so positive about this program that we promise to give you and your family the most professional, well supervised and the highest quality classes available in any sport or art.
