The emphasis in this program is on respect, effort, positive attitude and manners while learning the basic techniques of karate. Students in this program are slowly introduced to a safely padded version of sparring. The padding used in this program far exceeds the requirements of the provincial karate association. Students improve their self esteem, self confidence, focus, concentration, and manners. Parents of students in our programs typically comment on the improvement in their child's focus and concentration, self confidence, school grades and overall behaviour within a few short months of starting their karate training.
Tiny Tigers’ Classes are held year round, up to four times a week for beginners and up to four times a week plus our Kumite League (sparring league) for coloured belts. We require a commitment from students to attend a minimum average of two classes per week to keep their learning curve on a steady upward progression. Students in this program may attend as many of the four or five classes per week that they wish. Tiny Tigers classes are Monday through Thursday from 5:30pm to 6:15pm. On Friday nights, for those who are yellow belt with two stripes or higher in rank, there is a sparring or kumite league.
