Tiny Cubs- 3 Year Olds
Tiny Cubs 4-6 Year Olds
The leader in the children's martial arts programming has developed a dynamic program for three to six year old. The Tiny Tiger curriculum was designed with the needs of both the child and parent in mind.
The media glamorizes violence and teaches little responsibility, resulting in aggressive behavior. Our responsibility is to teach a strong value system. We stress self-control and self-discipline. Our students learn right from wrong. Our entire program revolves around praise and positive correction creating a positive happy environment.
We also address the physical needs of the youngster. Our Tigers are just developing their gross and fine motor skills. Tae Kwon Do helps in the areas of balance, strength and coordination. Our instructors are also keenly aware of their vocabulary development. Explaining and demonstrating new phrases and words.
Junior Program- 7 - 13 Year Olds
The curriculum for our "Karate for Kids" program is founded on the belief that every child is special and every child is a winner!
Our unique program was developed to teach children values in a positive furn environment. We combine the right mixture of discipline, caring and fun.
One of our main goals is to teach each child to be able to defend themselves in a threatening situation. We must also make them aware of when it is the proper time to use their skill and when to use their self-control.
Our most important mission for teaching children is to develop a strong value system. We do this through monthly themes, classroom discussions and our reinforcement through our "Karate for Kids" patch system. We strive to improve each students: concentration, self-discipline, courtesy, integrity, respect, character, self-esteem, school performance by embodying these principles we commit to the development of today's youth.
