Tiger Tots [ages 4 - 5]
Tiger Tot Taekwondo classes are designed for very young children, typically ages 4-5, to introduce them to the basics of Taekwondo in a fun and engaging way. These classes focus on building fundamental skills, such as coordination, balance, focus, and listening, while keeping the environment playful and age-appropriate.
Here’s what you can expect in a Tiger Tot class:
Basic Techniques: Kids learn simple Taekwondo moves like punches, kicks, and blocks. The focus is on form and control rather than power or speed.
Motor Skills Development: Through various exercises, children enhance their balance, coordination, and flexibility, which are crucial for this age group’s physical development.
Discipline and Focus: Taekwondo emphasizes respect, following instructions, and improving concentration. Instructors often use games and activities to teach these values in a way that’s relatable to young children.
Confidence Building: By mastering new techniques and achieving small goals, children gain confidence in their abilities, which can positively impact other areas of their life.
Social Skills: Classes are typically conducted in a group setting, allowing kids to learn how to interact with peers, share, and work as a team.
Fun and Engagement: The classes are kept lighthearted with activities and games that make learning fun and maintain the child’s interest throughout the session. These sessions provide a foundation for Taekwondo while fostering a positive attitude toward physical activity. They focus on helping kids develop both mentally and physically in a structured, encouraging environment.
