Tiny Tigers: Planting Seeds of Success


Tiny Tigers: Plant the seeds of success...today!

Our Tiny Tigers program is one our most popular and effective activities. With its unique combination of fun, structure, action, discipline, and good manners, very active children have a constructive place to apply their energy and are able to truly plant the seeds of success.

 

Planting the Seeds of Success

The Tiny Tigers program is for our youngest group of martial arts participants. Since May 2009, these 45-minute workouts benefit children ages 4-years-old and up at a pace geared to their attention spans. Children learn how to follow directions, display good manners, and participate a very active and supportive group setting developing coordination and having fun.

Action, Fun Action

The core ingredient to the Tiny Tigers program is lots of fun action. Children want to express themselves physically in some way. This program allows them to do so in a big way with lots of running, jumping, and crawling. With little games, children really enjoy the chance to enjoy exercise and developing a healthy lifestyle. A great introduction to martial arts training and improvement.

Martial Arts Skills

Children get to wear the uniform, or dobok, do many of the same exercises as the older groups, and are held accountable for their behavior. This combination allows real learning to take place so that children develop true martial arts skills along with the attitude to use these skills appropriately, if at all.

Discipline & Confidence

Attending on a regular schedule, allows children to develop both self-discipline and self-confidence because they are recognized for their improving skills and leadership abilities. Children are able to take these improvements to the next level — the Taekwondo for “Serious” Children training sessions.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
