Graduating out of the Tigers Program

There are two ways*:

1. The first is to graduate by completing the program

2. The second is by instructor recommendation 
   - What this means is that your child is excelling beyond the expectations of the tiger program, and the instructor feels that the child would benefit more in the children's class

*Please remember that all children develop differently and that leaving early does not indicate superiority to other students.

Who are the instructors

Our T.K.D. Tiger Instructors are great role models who have years of experience working with the preschool/kindergarten age children. They are career martial artists and career instructors who know that having fun while learning their basics will lead to a lifetime love of Taekwondo.
 

Program Differences

How is the T.K.D. Tigers Program (4-5 yrs) different from the Children's Program (6-12yrs)?
As you probably already know, there is a big difference between a 4 and a 6 year old. Physical and mental maturities cover a wide range for this age group. The first difference is the class length, 35 minutes for the Tigers and 50 minutes for the Children's. The curriculum is very similar, but instead of reaching the gold belt as their third belt (Children's), it is their seventh (Tigers).

This helps the learning process by spreading it out and having it presented in a more structured fashion while being broken into 4 main areas:

• Focus Skills

• Physical Fitness Skills

• Blocking Skills

• Striking Skills
