MIGHTY TIGER CLASSES
Children Ages 3 year-olds to 5 year-olds
At Asheville Sun Soo, our Mighty Tiger classes serve preschool-aged kids (3-5) in a playful yet structured and disciplined environment. When toddlers learn karate, they learn manners, balance, listening skills, and more. We find that parents are often looking for activities for preschool-aged toddlers or after school activities for kindergartners. Our classes at Sun Soo are much more than an activity for toddlers. These classes offer a significant opportunities for toddlers to learn life skills. These classes are designed to develop fundamentals in critical areas for kids at this age. Finding classes for 3 year-olds and 4 year-olds that are not in the typical “mommy and me” format is a difficult task. In the Mighty Tigers class, emphasis is placed on helping our toddler students develop in a well-rounded manner: socially, with excellent manners, taking initiative, and being a contribution; physically, with balance, coordination, reflex development, and left/right distinction; emotionally, with emphasis on personal responsibility; mentally, with attention to detail, listening skills, and the ability to focus; and in the early stages of self defense, by learning to distinguish between healthy and harmful situations, and how to get away from danger
