Dedicated Classes Taught By An Experienced Master
Taekwon-Do Classes For Children Aged 3-6 Years Old
Tigers Life Skills Education (LSE) is a revolutionary, progressive life skills course for children aged between 3 – 6 years of age. This course has been primarily designed as a life skills and danger awareness course.
Through fun activities and role- playing games, children learn how to deal with strangers, bullies, emergencies and day-to-day dangers, building their self-awareness and confidence at every stage.
Tigers has a background in the Martial Arts, with instructors and parents realising the benefits many areas of Martial Arts training could bring to young children. The Tigers course is actually based around TaeKwon-Do, teaching children fitness, co-ordination, balance, flexibility, strength and basic elements of self-defence when dealing with strangers or bullies.
Tigers does not teach children to be violent or to hurt others, rather it encompasses TaeKwon-Do training to compliment the core teachings and instil confidence, self-discipline, respect, perseverance and courtesy in all students.
Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self control and Indomitable Spirit
