TINY TIGERS

The Tiny Tiger program was developed specifically for preschool age children ages 3 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 childrens 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.

VICTORY STARS

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 of the Tigers 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 six collectable animal patches to display on their belts as follows:

  • The Tiger for orange belt
  • The Cheetah for yellow
  • The Lion for camo
  • The Eagle for green
  • The Phoenix for purple
  • The Dragon for blue.

All six patches, as earned, can be displayed on the childs belt.

TOURNAMENT'S 
 
The overall goal of encouraging "Tiny Tiger's" to participate in the Songahm Taekwondo tournament process is to provide them with an "INTRODUCTION TO COMPETITION."  By Doing so we insure that there will not be any "losers," only "winner."  Every child wil be rewarded for what is important, their participation and effort. One of the most important elements to this "INTRODUCTON TO COMPETITION" is that it should be FUN!
