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 4 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 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 eight collectable animal
patches to display on the belts as follows: Tiger for orange belt; Cheetah
for yellow; Lion for camo; Eagle for green; Phoenix for purple; Dragon
for blue; Cobra for brown; Panther for red. All eight patches, as earned,
can be displayed on the child's belt.
