In addition to our internationally recognized Karate for Kids program,
we offer the Taekwondo for Tiny Tigers program. The Tiny Tiger program
was developed specifically for preschool age children ages 3 1/2 through
6. This program offers children a strong foundation in essential character
qualities such as courtesy, respect, and discipline. In addition, the program
is designed to improve children's motor skills and enhance their ability to
pay attention and follow directions. All classes are taught using the most
safe, fun, and exciting instruction methods available for this age group.
This program works in conjunction with the Karate for Kids program, thereby
emphasizing the same important monthly themes and value system.
Just like in the Karate for Kids program, Tiny Tigers have their own unique
victory patch and "Victory Stars." Stars are earned in the same way
as the Karate for Kids program, with slight modifications in recognition of
the preschool age of the child. Four different colored victory patches are
available to accommodate all the stars that can be earned by a high achieving
Tiny Tiger. Except for the logo, the four victory patches of the Tigers are
the same as the Karate for Kids patches. Upon graduation from the Tiny Tigers
program into the "Junior" or "Big Kid" program, Tigers are
rewarded by the opportunity to wear the "Big Kids" or "Karate
for Kids" patch.
The rank and testing system used by the Tigers is slightly different than that
of the Karate for Kids. Tigers can earn six collectable animal patches to display
on their belts as follows:
