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 children's motor skills and enhance their ability to pay attention and follow directions. All classes are taught using safe, fun, and exciting instruction methods. This program works in conjunction with the Karate for Kids program, thereby emphasizing the same important monthly themes and value system. 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 are the same as the Karate for Kids patches.
The rank and testing system used by our Tiny Tigers is slightly different than the system used in our other programs. Tiny Tigers ranks go from "Tiny Tiger White Belt" to "Tiny Tiger Black Belt". A Tiny Tiger who makes it all the way to Tiny Tiger Black Belt will convert to a Yellow Belt when they turn 7 and move up to the Karate for Kids age group. Any other rank below black converts to Orange Belt when moving up to the Karate for Kids age group.
Keep in mind that "Every kid is a winner" and "Every kid is special". Kids can be rewarded for increases in confidence as well as scholastic or athletic accomplishments.
