Little Tiger Cubs is a class specifically aimed at our youngest students aged from 2 years old to 5 years old. This is a fantastic experience for the young students and is a great way of increasing co-ordination and learning through play. Everything from the uniform to the way the classes are structured is specifically aimed at this age group and is unlike any other martial arts type classes.
The Little Tiger Cubs training programme is a mixture of simple training exercises and games designed to assist in the physical development, improved health and increased fitness of each child. It is designed to support and complement the education and guidance provided by parents, nursery teachers, school teachers and child protection organisations.
The programme will encourage the development of motor skills, balance, endurance, flexibility, strength, and the coordination of eye, hand and foot. Through this development, each child should find greater self-confidence and self-esteem.
As well as an improvement in fitness, health and confidence, the programme will educate each child to appreciate the importance of mutual respect, non-discrimination, to maintain a positive outlook, to avoid conflict, self control, the importance of team-work, and to accept responsibility.
As part of the overall education, advice on how to avoid and or deal with bullying which is important.
The importance of being aware of the potential dangers from strangers will also be emphasised. Simple skills and advice on basic self-protection and care will be taught to reinforce the advice given by parents or guardians.
