Mende’s Karate
Kimberley Kennedy
Are you looking for a new activity that you and your children can
participate in all year around? Visit Mende’s ATA Karate. The
owner, Kevin Mende, is a fourth degree black belt with over 15
years experience. There are two assistant instructors who also have
their black belts. All of the instructors at Mende’s ATA are certified
instructors. Mende says that the instructors are certified yearly and
their training continues so that they achieve higher ranks in order to
keep up with learning as teachers.
Mende’s ATA offers classes for a variety of ages and experience
levels. The youngest group of students consists of children 3-5
years old, called the Tiny Tigers. These children learn basic skills
such as how to listen, pay attention, and follow directions. They
also learn how to defend themselves against the bully at school,
without resorting to physical fighting. The next group of children is
the Juniors, between six and ten years of age. These children learn
the importance of social skills and self-discipline. They are encour
aged to make good grades and to have good manners, and these
things are a part of the student’s preparation for belt testing.
All children are provided with a sport that helps to build character,
and because the students are in a class, they are all involved at their
own skill level. There is a place for everyone, so there are no bench
warmers. Karate is a sport that never goes out of season. Also, the
instructor is available for Show and Tell at school. The instructor
will visit the student’s class and talk about what Tae Kwon Do is,
then he and the student will demonstrate some of the techniques
that the student is learning to the class. This allows the student to
practice skills in front of his classmates at school.

Mende’s ATA karate is a full time school. This means that students
can attend classes up to four days per week at any level. Mende’s
ATA teaches traditional Tae Kwon Do, which simply means that
they teach traditional Korean karate. The traditional style teaches a
form at each level. A form is a sequence of movements, a combina
tion of punches, kicks, and blocks that help the student to review
basic movements and to understand how all of these movements
work together. At different levels, students learn different weapons.
Weapons improve coordination, and self discipline. Students also
participate in

that allow them to demonstrate their skills to judges, and help them
to build self-confidence by performing in front of a group. Students
demonstrate their knowledge of forms and techniques at these tour
naments. In addition to tournaments, Mende’s ATA Karate also
