The Tiny Tiger program was developed specifically for children aged 4 through 7. 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 the most safe, fun, and exciting instruction methods available for this age group.

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.

There are many reasons for kids to become involved in the martial arts. We have developed a program based on traditional Taekwondo for kids called Karate for Kids. It is aimed at children aged 8 through 12. The Karate for Kids system is based on a lifetime learning concept in addition to technical skills. The building blocks for our system are monthly themes such as:

• Integrity
• Goals
• Perseverance
• Respect
• Confidence, and more...

Martial Arts for Teens is aimed 6th Grade and up to 17 year olds. Like Karate for Kids, the Teen program teaches martial arts and also focuses on those life skills that can lay an solid foundation for young people in these important formative years. For this purpose we discuss subjects such as:

• Self-Improvement
• Self Awareness
• Self Esteem
• Fitness
• Goal-setting
• Concentration, and more...

The problem with most exercise programs is that people don't stick with them. Let's face it, many exercise programs are boring. That's why more and more adults are using martial arts to get in shape, and stay in shape while having a lot of fun!

And with Taekwondo training, not only do you get in shape, relieve stress and have fun... you also learn valuable self-defense skills!

Most adult students come to us with limited flexibility. Adults start at any age. Some adults start as late as 65, and still earn their black belts. Students are looked upon as individuals, and never compared to anyone else. Our instructors will be there every step of the way. All that is expected of you is a willingness to try.

XMA is a combination of extreme attitude and confidence mixed with traditional martial arts and acrobatics and gymnastics. It is often set to music to increase effect.

Our basic tumbling class is therefore a part of XMA because it prepares the student for the acrobatics / gymnastics component of XMA.

XMA is a lot of fun and also a favorite with many students.

Participation in XMA requires separate registration and also includes a special uniform. XMA is available to students in our Leadership program.
