Tiger Martial Arts

Tiny TIGER Program (3-4 years old)

Martial arts for children 3 to 4 years old is a great way for them to develop fundamental cognitive and social skills. Children participate in 2 to 3 lessons per week. Our martial arts program for 3 to 4 year olds rank- and age-specific. This ensures your child has the appropriate environment to maximize his or her development. Educators have found that young children learn best through play; this is why we have our curriculum structured in a way that children have fun while learning confidence, discipline, team work, respect and goal-setting. This program is a great way to introduce your child to fundamental character building skills which will help them succeed in school and, most of all, in life.

TIGER Cub Program (5-6 years old)

Often parents are searching for an activity that will enhance their child’s confidence, discipline and focusing skills, while burning off some energy and letting them have fun. TIGER’s Cub Program was designed to fit the above mentioned needs and more. Children will experience the benefits of martial arts training while developing confidence, discipline and respect. TIGER understands that children learn best through fun, dynamic movements. Fitness is just as important for children as it is for adults. Through martial arts applications children will receive a great workout, improve coordination and balance skills and develop the confidence to deal with “Bullies.” Our instructors are passionate about the personal growth students experience from studying martial arts at TIGER Martial Arts Academy.

TIGER’s Stand & Defend™ (7–13 years old)

Although our training programs focus on the key principles of personal development: confidence, discipline, and respect, we also feel that it is our responsibility to teach students the value of practical self-defense. Students learn effective and practical techniques from the disciplines of Thai boxing and Karate. From day one, students learn valuable techniques to defend themselves if attacked. This program has several unique components; first, there is the Fitness and Fun component. Students experience a fun and dynamic workout each time they step on to the mat. Since obesity is a serious problem with today’s youth and adults, TIGER incorporates core specific exercise drills to help battle against this problem. Second there is our “Structured Environment”; classes are taught in a fun, disciplined environment. Our lessons are planned out weeks in advance to ensure consistency, accountability, and most of all results. Finally, there is the passion that our instructors have for each child’s ability to succeed in life. TIGER’s main goal for our students is for them to be able to apply what they learn in the Academy to their lives outside of the Academy.

TIGER’s Control & Roll™ (7–13 years old)

Being able to control an attacker without endangering yourself and not seriously injuring the “bad guy” is one of the benefits of our Control and Roll Program™. This program uses the principles found in Gracie Jiu Jitsu, where leverage, positioning and technique are used to control a larger and stronger opponent. Best of all, your child will experience fun in this class while learning basic evading techniques such as sweeps, throws and joint manipulations to control an attacker. TIGER also implements Judo to help students with transitioning from standing to a ground situation.

Personal Development Program

This program is the character- development component of youth programs. Our philosophy has always been to use the martial arts as a vehicle to enhance one’s physical and mental abilities. During our student mat chats, instructors and students discuss the importance of leadership, discipline and confidence, just to name a few character qualities. This program’s primary focus is to teach students how to link the valuable lessons taught on the mat to the outside world.
