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 3-5. This program offers a strong foundation in essential character qualities such as courtesy, respect, and discipline. In addition, the program is designed to improve childern'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 our 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 inthe same way as the Karate for Kids program, with slight modifications in recognition of the preschool age of the child. Four different victory patches are available to accomodate all the stars that can be earned by a high achieving Tiny Tiger.
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: The Tiger for orange belt; the Cheetah for yellow ; the Lion for camo: the Eagle for green; the Phoenix for purplr; and the Dragon for blue. All six patches, as earned, can be displayed on the child's belt
