LITTLE TIGERS

---

Our Little Tigers Program is designed specifically for the 4 & 5 year olds to focus on the benefits such as motorskills, coordination, respect, etc… that will serve as a strong foundation for not only the martial arts but Life! The Little Tigers Program also serves as a stepping stone program to our regular course.  

Curriculum: We offer a great Belt & Stripe system based curriculum which is based on our regular Tae Kwon Do Program curriculum but is modified and broken down into steps to be more age appropriate for the 4 & 5 year olds.  This helps motivate the Little Tigers by way of a reward system and showcases their progress/achievements right there on their belts!
