ATA Martial Arts Academy

Each life skill taught through ATA curriculum is based on The Songahm Spirit of Taekwondo oath, a promise each student makes at the beginning and end of each ATA event to prepare them for what lies ahead.

At the beginning of each event the oath is as follows:
"Sir/Ma'am, I shall practice in the spirit of Taekwondo; with COURTESY for fellow students, LOYALTY for my instructor and RESPECT for my juniors and seniors, sir/ma'am"

At the end of the event, the promise is targeted more for behavior
outside of the do-jahng:
"Sir/Ma'am, I shall live with PERSEVERANCE in the spirit of Taekwondo; having HONOR with others, INTEGRITY within myself and SELF-CONTROL in my actions, sir/ma'am"
