Instead of doing a complete Instructor Camp this year, we are offering a day of training for Legacy Program members and black belts.
This will be a one-day event dedicated solely to vigorous physical training. The goal is to provide a low-cost and fun training experience so we can spend the day sweating, smiling and learning with our ATA family.
The training will be all day Saturday 9th September. We will have black belt testing and Legacy certification on Friday evening.
The training is open to anyone in Legacy Program, regardless of rank, who is 13 years old or older. Black belts age 13 and up may attend the training even if they are not members of Legacy Program.
In 2024, we will once again offer a complete Instructor Camp with multiple days of training and seminars covering business and teaching skills in addition to physical training.
