Our T.K.D. Tigers Program is focused on improving kindergarten/ preschool-aged children's basic motor and listening skills as well as building a good foundation in martial art techniques.

What Can I expect from my child/children?

• To be excited about this activity
• Willingness to work towards a goal
• Learning to cooperate within a group setting
• Wanting to be a leader by being a good “example” to classmates

We make hard work and discipline, fun and exciting to learn

Benefits for your child:

• Better students at school (memory and focus)
• Better listeners at home (following directions the first time)
• Increased energy (but nice and worn out after class)
• Better manners (reinforcement of what is taught at home)
• More ambitious because of our goal oriented curriculum (belts and tips)
• Helps prepare them for our Children’s Program
• Improves motor-coordination and reflexes (good for other sports and activities, too)

The skills learned in our T.K.D. Tiger Program will help your child enter society with more confidence and enthusiasm.

How does my child enter the children’s program?

There are two ways:

• The first is to graduate by completing the program
• The second is by instructor recommendation (What this means is that your child is excelling beyond the expectations of the tiger program, and the instructor feels that the child would benefit more in the children’s class)

** Please remember that all children develop differently and that leaving early
does not indicate superiority to other students**

How is the T.K.D. Tigers Program (4-5 yrs) different from the Children’s Program (5-12yrs)?

As you probably already know, there is a big difference between a 4 and a 6 year old. Physical and mental maturities cover a wide range for this age group. The first difference is the class length, 35 minutes for the Tigers and 50 minutes for the Children’s. The curriculum is very similar, but instead of reaching the gold belt as their third belt (Children’s), it is their seventh (Tigers).

This helps the learning process by spreading it out and having it presented in a more structured fashion while being broken into 4 main areas:

• Focus Skills
• Physical Fitness
• Skills Blocking Skills
• Striking Skills

Who are the instructors?

Our T.K.D. Tiger Instructors are great role models who have years of experience working with the preschool/kindergarten age children. They are career martial artists and career instructors who know that having fun while learning their basics will lead to a lifetime love of Taekwondo.
