Tigers Children's Martial arts

This fun interactive class is geared toward boys and girls ages 3 1/2-5yrs. This program introduces fair play, courtesy, respect, following directions and healthy peer interaction. While they think they are cool ninjas, we know they are learning life skills that will last them forever. This class is twice a week for 30 minutes, and it prepares each child for advancement into the older classes.

Ninjas: ages 5 to 7

Ninjas Kids Martial arts

This is a great transition class for students to progress from Tigers to Juniors, and is also a fun place for new students to start. Ninjas uses the same curriculum as Basic Children, but at a much slower pace. This means the Ninjas have time for many more activities and games to help get things into their body memory. Ninjas attend class twice a week for 45 minutes.

Juniors: Basic/Intermediate/Advanced, ages 7 to 12

Basic Children Martial arts

This class is fun, energetic, and a great way for children to use their enthusiasm. Students learn beginning Taekwondo techniques and self defense. This class introduces students to the Five Tenets of taekwondo--courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control, and indomitable spirit. It is a great introduction to the martial arts that creates confidence and discipline in a creative and interactive way.

Intermediate Children Martial arts

Students who have reached the intermediate ranks are ready for the new and exciting techniques taught in this class. Intermediate students learn to apply their basic techniques with more skill and continue to learn new kicks, hand techniques, self defense, forms, and tons more! They also continue to work on focus and control, continuing on their path to becoming great people and great Black Belts.

Advanced Children

This class helps students as they prepare for black belt. Advanced martial artists learn the full curriculum, which includes awesome advanced kicking, boxing, Olympic Taekwondo sparring and forms, and advanced self defense--hapkido, grab releases, throws and falls. Students learn meditation and self control that will help them with schooling, family life, and other pursuits. This is one of our most exciting classes, and it prepares the advanced student to become a lifetime martial artist.

Mixed Children

Children of all ranks are invited to attend this class; it provides an alternative schedule if students need to substitute one of their regular classes. This is a fun and high energy class which helps students of all ranks to learn their curriculum, to build self esteem and self control, and to become a better martial artist.

Children’s Martial arts Sparring

Sparring is fun and a great way to work on reaction skills. While the drills will help your child prepare for the ring, actual matches will prepare them for real-life self defense situations. Both Self Defense and Sparring require conditioning and practice in order to succeed, and practicing one helps with the other. Having someone actually kick them will help your child deal with the adrenaline rush and indecision that often follows a real-life attack, making your child more capable in real self defense and in their normal classes. Sparring is not required until the Advanced Ranks (Blue Belt), but children are encouraged to start as soon as they are ready (usually in the Intermediate ranks and as early as Yellow/Green Belt). While it may be a little intimidating, it is a great way to risk in a safe environment. Our students are not required to compete at tournaments, but are encouraged to do so to build their confidence and repertoire.

Leadership

Our Leadership Program is built specifically for teens and young adults who wish to improve their leadership skills; however, we do have children as young as ten involved. Children and teens who show exceptional Leadership Spirit are invited to join, but any parent who is interested in having their child participate and learn great skills is welcome to inquire in the office about the requirements. Leadership is a great goal for our younger student as they prepare for black belt and for life.

Masters

Is there life beyond Black Belt? There is here. Masters class is reserved just for our Black Belts and is designed to inspire them to further growth and learning. We firmly believe that the only person who can limit you is yourself, and we want our Black Belts to surpass their own expectations in their Pursuit of Mastery. This class focuses on the curriculum necessary to test for higher ranks, and also on creating more experienced, well-rounded Black Belts.
