most people think martial arts is easy and people say they can beat a black belt even when they have no idea how to fight at all and some people just can't do it. It takes work and practice lots and lots of practice and theres a reason why. when u r a black belt u r a symbol of what u can do most importantly u r a hero to some people u can save that one kid getting beaten or the one who needs a person to trust, i have a saying ether u die a hero or live long enough to see the world burn in pain

it made me strong inside and out but most of all it healed me I used to be beaten, broken by the bullies and kids of my school They would crash my dreams and hurt me with their words until i was crying my eyes out i was alone..scared. i felt as i could do nothing to save myself when i became older i knew the true meaning of taekwondo now when teens try to make me fall i have the strength to go up and stand up for myself and say i don't care and if i do fall i will stand bak up and keep going.

It's odd how the ATA is apparently so bad, but yet we in the ATA don't continuously bash, attack, and disrespect other forms of martial arts and associations, while other are constantly speaking highly negatively and disrespectfully about the ATA. I suppose other martial arts organizations leave out the "Respect" and "Honor" parts when it come to their teaching. Its not the toughest organization out their, but I'm PROUD to be a part of a honorable and respectful organization.

I've been with ATA my whole life, and it's great. Some people talk shit on how it's easy to get a black belt, but whatever. I've always stuck to the belief that black belt doesn't even mean skill level. I have had my 3rd degree black belt for a few years now, and I can tell you I didn't get it merely as a handout as so many people think ATA does. I had to work my ass off for many years to get that, and getting to that rank was one of my biggest accomplishments in life.

@cooljeep0 the school I go to goes by kawaiikon standers in belts heck it took one year to get to blue belt now I am testing for High blue it take 3 months for my testing for Red then another 3 months for H Red. Then there is another 4 months to test for deputy that is how it goes at my school.

[jp3711nc1]

@dethmetalhed I take W.T.F and Blue belt now testing for High Blue next week. I have been taught to be respectful to all martial arts but from what I seen in videos I seen kids in class not paying attention people who are teens pooms sloppy and self defense very bad. Either they don't practice or the instructor didn't teach them directly but that is just me my nephew is in the AtA but I wished he was doing what I am doing.

I went to ATA when I was younger, i joined when i was 9 and at first it was really fun.but by the time I was 11, the teacher and the kids there treated me really bad i didnt know why. the teacher would always pull me out of class to lecture me when i didnt do anything wrong. then she would tell my grandparents that i had issues. that place really sucked. i finally told them i wasnt coming anymore. i quit 2 weeks before testing for my black belt, and i was so much happier after quitting. fuck ATA

I have been with the ATA for four years and I just took my second midtirm for my 2nd degree black-belt. I was a jurk before I joined the ATA and nobody wanted to be around me (rightfully so). The ATA helped me get my act togeather and I will never leave. I'm with the ATA for life.
