I was born and raised in Little Rock and love it. It's a place that Bob & Carolyn Slowsky would love...not too fast paced and never in a crisis. I am amazed at the people here that don't fully comprehend the influence that the ATA has in Little Rock. The ATA of course being the American Taekwondo Association. It's the largest Martial Arts organization in the world and the International Headquarters is right here in Little Rock on Baseline Road.
My 13 year old daughter Heather, has been in taekwondo for 7 years now and testing for her 3rd degree Black Belt on March 7th. ATA teaches children discipline and respect not to mention SELF DEFENSE, which every young girl should know in this day and time. My wife and I also joined ATA and I'm proud of my wife advancing faster than me! She's more dedicated I suppose. But I am proud to be a Little Rock native and proud to be a member of the largest taekwondo organization with the nicest people I've ever met.
If you are ever in the downtown Little Rock area in mid to late June of each year, you'll know the ATA World Tournament is taking place...there are thousands and thousands of competitors and family members from all over the world attending the one-week long tournament. If you want to get excited about young responsible and polite kids today...attend the World Tournament this year and you'll be even more proud you live here.
