Palacios ATA Martial Arts | Tiny Tigers

Similar to our internationally recognized  Karate Kids  program,  we  offer the  Taekwondo for Tiny Tigers program. The Tiny Tiger  program was developed specifically for preschool age children (3 years through 6 years). This program offers children a strong foundation in essential character qualities such as courtesy, respect, and discipline. In addition, the program is designed to improve children’s motor skills and enhance their ability to pay attention and follow directions.

All classes are taught using the most safe, fun, and exciting instruction methods available for this age group. The Tiny Tiger program works in conjunction with the Karate Kids program, thereby emphasizing the same important monthly themes and value system.

Just like the Karate Kids program, Tiny Tigers have their own unique "Victory patch" and "Victory Stars." Stars are earned in the same way as the Karate Kids program, with slight modifications in recognition of the preschool age of the child. Four different colored Victory patches are available to accommodate all the stars that can be earned by a high achieving Tiny Tiger. Except for the logo, the four Victory patches of the Tigers are the same as the Karate Kids patches. Upon graduation from the Tiny Tigers program into the "Junior" or "Big Kid" program, Tigers are rewarded by the opportunity to wear the "Big Kids" or "Karate Kids" patch.

The rank and testing system used by the Tigers is slightly different than that of the Karate Kids. Tigers can earn six collectable animal patches to display on their belts as follows:

• The Tiger for orange belt
• The Cheetah for yellow belt 
• The Lion for camo belt
• The Eagle for green  belt
• The Phoenix for purple belt
• The Dragon for blue belt

All six patches, as earned, are displayed on the child’s belt.
