Tons of fun, we focus on basic motor skills like running, jumping, falling, learning to follow directions, and get along well with others.

Students learn while having fun. We always follow the "Yes I can!" attitude, learning that we never say "No" or "No I can't."

The main objective with the Tiny Tigers is to teach the children the basic skills they will need to succeed at any sport and the hope that when they reach the age of 5 1/2 or 6, that they will enter into our regular Olympic Taekwondo or Combat Hapkido classes.

Our Tiny Tigers always amaze me with their skills and I am constantly shown everyday that early development is crucial to a long, healthy, and athletic life.

Once parents see what their children are able to accomplish, they will be as amazed as I am everyday. This program completely cements our "Yes I can!" attitude.
