Tigers Karate Ages 3-5

In our Tigers class, we strive to teach skills through developmental activities based on Okinawan martial arts. Instructors use drills designed to enhance motor skills and coordination. Tiger students participate in activities and games to promote self-discipline and sportsmanship while being challenged appropriately. Emphasis is placed on effort and achievement. The primary focus of the Tigers program is to promote self-awareness, focus, safety, respect, and confidence. Our goal is to help these skills translate from on the mat to everyday activities and behaviors.
