Tiger Cubs Program (ages 4 and 5)

Our youngest martial artists are placed in our Tiger-Cubs program. This program is designed for 4- and 5-year-old students. In these 30 minute classes, Tiger-Cub students will participate in martial arts and child development exercises.

We designed our lessons to be geared towards helping students develop physical balance and coordination. In addition, our instructors teach students how to follow directions, improve their listening skills, and instill discipline.

Many of the lessons your child will learn on the mat will translate well off of it. Tiger Rock parents tell us often that they have seen a noticeable improvement in behavior and self-discipline after their child starts taking classes at our academies.

Juniors Program (ages 6 to 11 years old)

The Tiger Rock Juniors Program is for students 6 to 10 years old. It is typically our largest program and the starting point for many of our long term taekwondo students. Designed to complement elementary school education, this after school activity help students stay active, healthy, and engaged.

This program incorporates traditional martial arts instruction of kicking, striking, and evasion. However, we don’t stop there. We incorporate real-world self-defense, stranger awareness, and anti-bullying lessons that will help your child protect themselves against strangers and/or bullies.

Moreover, we encourage personal responsibility, honor, integrity, and good citizenship. In fact, as your child advances in training, they may qualify to join our Honors Program designed for students that exemplify these qualities. Plus, we have an academic accountability program to encourage good behavior and good grades in the classroom.
