In addition to our internationally recognized Karate for Kids program, we offer the Taekwondo for Tiny
Tigers program. The Tiny Tiger program was developed specifically for preschool age children ages 2
through 6. This program offers children a strong foundation in essential character qualities such as
courtesy, respect, and discipline. In addition, the program is designed to improve children's motor skills and
enhance their ability to pay attention and follow directions. All classes are taught using the most safe, fun,
and exciting instruction methods available for this age group. This program works in conjunction with the
Karate for Kids program, thereby emphasizing the same important monthly themes and value system.
Just like in the Karate for Kids program, Tiny Tigers have their own unique victory patch and "Victory Stars."
Stars are earned in the same way as the Karate for Kids program, with slight modifications in recognition of
the preschool age of the child. Four different colored victory patches are available to accommodate all the
stars that can be earned by a high achieving Tiny Tiger. Except for the logo, the four victory patches are the
same as the Karate for Kids patches.
Upon graduation from the Tiny Tigers program into the "Junior" or "Big Kid" program, Tigers are rewarded
by the opportunity to wear the "Big Kids" or "Karate for Kids" patch.
The rank and testing system used by the Tigers is slightly different than that of the Karate for Kids. Tigers
can earn eight collectable animal patches to display on the belts as follows: Tiger for orange belt; Cheetah
for yellow; Lion for camo; Eagle for green; Phoenix for purple; Dragon for blue; Cobra for brown; Panther
for red. All eight patches, as earned, can be displayed on the child's belt.
