Tiger Cubs - an introductory class geared toward developing coordination, basic motor skills
and stretching. This structured play group emphasizes the FUN aspects of Karate and prepares each child
for the next level class, LITTLE TIGERS.
The Tiger Cubs Program is designed to help develop the young child’s individual physical
awareness and basic coordination skills. Both individual and group activities are used in conjunction with
various mats, pads, hand targets, fitness balls, medicine balls and kicking shields. This program has been
created to broaden a young child’s motor skills and physical experiences and prepare them for the next level, Little
Tigers.
Little Tigers - an intermediate level class distinguished by yellow & black (Tiger) belts which signify the accomplishment
of the basic skills. This level adds progressively more difficult coordination of hands and feet, balance,
timing and flexibility and an introduction to self-defense techniques and "Karate Tag".
The Little Tigers Program is a continuation of the Tiger Cubs curriculum which reinforces the
skills learned in the previous level and includes many more individual and group activities. With this
group, instructors stress increasing each student’s fitness level with progressively challenging drills, teaching the
concepts of left and right, and focusing on developing the value of teamwork, cooperation, good manners, and respect for oneself
and others.
