OPENS DOORS FOR SPECIAL CHILD SAFETY COMMUNITY EVENT

Milton , Ga – Karate Atlanta in Milton has announced plans for a community Child Safety Open House scheduled for Saturday, September 29th from 1:00 until 4:00. The open House is part of ATA Martial Arts’ worldwide initiative to help minimize the risk of child abduction through education. With active membership exceeding 350,000 worldwide and 1,200 schools in the U.S. and abroad, ATA is positively positioned to reach children and adults with the message of abduction prevention. As part of the safety campaign, ATA has partnered with AMBER Alert.com to increase AMBER Alert notification via e-mail and personal communication devices. Once an AMBER Alert is issued, AMBER Alert. Com uses state-of-the-art technology to notify its subscribers of a missing child in a specific area.

According to local ATA instructor Jimmy Bell, education is the key to child safety. “Children of all age, gender and race are vulnerable to child abduction. Through age appropriate instruction, awareness of warning signs and ID activities such as fingerprinting, collectively ATA schools around the world hope to have a significant impact on reducing the risk of a child abduction and victimization”, says Bell.

The local Child Safety Open House event, held in conjunction with ATA’s Child Safety Month in September, presents an abduction education program called “Kidz in Power” and will include activities such as simple break away self-defense instruction, role playing with possible stranger dangers, methods to deal with bullies and child ID cards and fingerprinting. There will also be guests from local fire and police stations to share information regarding other types of safety concerns.

Karate Atlanta offers a variety of programs focusing on safety, including ATA Tiny Tigers for children ages 3-6, Karate for Kids, and the newest program ATA-Xtreme, which combines martial arts with gymnastics and dance moves.
