Student Creed: I will do my best, I will never give up.  I will never do anything to hurt myself or those around me.  We are Tiny Tigers.

We provide movement and exercises of both the mind and body through the Martial Arts focus for your preschool aged students. We work at developing gross motor skills, movement, listening skills, memory, and self control.  All while having fun and learning new ways to move and think.

Through the lens of martial arts we specifically help preschoolers to develop: focus, reaction, self-control, balance, listening, confidence, fitness, grit, memory and learning to deal with new challenges, all while having fun. We want your students to enjoy karate, and to have fun while exercising and learning to control their bodies.  We are always glad to work with you staff to address issues or work cooperatively with your classroom objectives.

We are martial artists who have reached the minimum of a second degree black belt, and have trained in working with Children.  Our program has been forged while working with students just like yours in a local Child Care Center.  For the last 12 years we have worked to develop a program that engages children, provides exercise, and is fun.  We want smiling, sweating kids who have had fun while learning.  Martial arts becomes the media that we use to engage your students.  

We are not a martial arts school that is seeking to turn your students into our students.  We want to provide a high quality movement experience for your students, adding value to your business and even provide a window for your staff to take a back seat and relax while we spend 30 minutes getting your students to move and laugh and learn. 

A typical class will begin with students seated in their spot for the class session, they will leave and return to that spot several times throughout the course of the class.  After our opening words, we start with a warm up, a fun quick  paced time of exercise.  Each class session will focus on a specific theme, for example Focus.  Our activities including hand and foot techniques, exercises and drills will all relate back to our theme.  At the end of every class we remind our friends that we only practice karate with our instructor or with the permission of our teachers or parents.  We like to see students once a week for them to get the benefit of the experience.  

We run in a twelve week cycle, spending a week with each of the following themes:

• Focus 
• Reaction
• Self-Control
• Balance 
• Listening
• Confidence
• Coordination
• Safety
• Teamwork 
• Grit
• Memory
• Challenge

• Opening Words
• Warm Up
• Foot Technique
• Hand Technique
• Drills
• Challenge
• Closing

What does it cost to do a Tiny Tigers program?

A Typical Class:

We like to have 40 minutes with students.  The first five we settle in as we transition from the class room to martial arts, then it is important to get students situated for class, on a spot and we will start stretching.   

We will begin class with the student creed, introduce the theme for the day, warm up with some exercise, then move into our skills for the day, hand and foot techniques, and drills.  We like to wrap it up with something fun, and then close out class and give students a final challenge.

After class is over, we like to transition back to the classroom with something positive and engaging.   

The Price:

Our summer rates are $500.00 for four weekly classes of up to 20 students.  A typical karate school will be charging a family about $100.00 a month for four 30 minute classes.  At 20 students, with 4 weekly classes, it comes to $10.00 a week.  Parents don’t need to transport to another location, there are no scheduling conflicts for the family and your student benefits from a high quality Martial Arts program..
