Personal attention and
teaching excellence makes the most of each child's experience.
Just as Tigger says in Winnie-the-pooh, "The most wonderful thing about
Tiggers, is that I'm the only one!" It's this special attention to each
individual's unique personality and needs that truly sets our Instructors above
the rest. Our school is built on a philosophy of personal attention and
teaching excellence.
Our Little Tigers program is
designed specifically for children age 4 to 7 years. Working with
young children at this critical stage in their development can have
lifelong benefits. Little Tigers is a balance of basic exercises and
drills designed to assist in the development of motor skills, balance, and
the coordination of eye, hand and foot. Through this development,
each child should find greater self-confidence and
self-esteem.
Belt promotions are
fundamental to martial arts. Our reward system will lead to each
child becoming appreciative of the concept of reward for effort. The
Little Tigers receive a series of striped white belts at the end of each
term as a award for special accomplishments and perseverance. Each child
will appreciate the importance of mutual respect, to maintain a positive
outlook, to avoid conflict, self control, and to accept responsibility.
The importance of being aware of the potential dangers from strangers will
also be emphasised. Simple skills and advice on basic self
protection and care will be taught to reinforce the advice given by
parents. Children who start off in the Little Tigers program
will be ready to enter the junior program with a special head start.
