OUR CLASSES
TIGERS (ages 4-6 years)
The Tigers classes are aimed at children aged between 4 and 6 years. The syllabus is the same as the TAGB syllabus for the adult’s, albiet it is taken at a slower pace to ensure the children have a good foundation and understanding of the level of focus and practice required to progress. The key elements we try to provide the Tiger are –
- FUN
- SELF CONFIDENCE & ESTEEM
- SOCIALISING SKILLS
- CONCENTRATION & FOCUS
- FITNESS
- SELF DEFENCE
What they will learn is –
Taekwondo basics
Blocks, punches and kicks
Exercises and stretches
Discipline and control
All in a fun and family orientated environment.
From there the TIGERS work towards grading through the coloured belts syllabus receiving a new coloured belt and certificate when they pass a grading in preparation to them moving up to the junior class.
We at Ayr Taekwondo Club encourage the parents to become involved in the Tigers class as this helps the children to stay enthusiastic and engaged. They love training with their mums and dads and it’s a great way of taking part in an activity with your children!
A FAMLY THAT KICKS TOGETHER STICKS TOGETHER!!!
