What a Little Tigers class looks like

Warm-up games
Simple movement games get 3-to-6-year-olds moving, listening, and ready to focus — no standing still and waiting.
Stance and kick practice
Short, repeated bursts of basic stances and beginner kicks, broken up before attention drifts.
Balance and coordination drills
Playful, obstacle-style drills that build the motor control every later belt depends on.
Focus and respect habits
Simple routines — bowing in, waiting your turn, listening for the whistle — taught the same way from day one.
Cool-down and high-fives
Every class ends on a win, so a 3-year-old leaves wanting to come back.

“Parents tell us this is often the first time their child sits still and listens to an instruction all the way through — every session builds on that.”

Questions about Little Tigers

What age can my child start Little Tigers?

We accept students from age 3. Each child is taught according to their developmental stage, not just their age, so a younger 3-year-old and an older one both get what they need.

Is 3 years old too young to start taekwondo?

Not in our experience. Little Tigers classes are built around what a 3-to-6-year-old can actually do — short bursts of activity, simple instructions, and a lot of positive reinforcement. If your child can follow a simple direction and separate from you for a short class, they're ready to try.
