The early years in a child’s development are incredibly important. They directly set the stage for everything from gross motor movements to social confidence, and even potentially long term health. Yet, for many parents of 4 and 5 year olds, there isn’t much available to help give your child what they need to develop properly.

At Master P’s World Class Tae Kwon Do, we believe that martial arts – especially our Little Tigers Program – is a great choice for young pre-school children, and their parents, providing them with a fun and dynamic way to develop healthier bodies AND minds.

Benefits of the Little Tigers Program

The Little Tigers Program is a Tae Kwon Do Program developed specifically for toddlers and children aged 4 to 5. It is extremely fun and upbeat. Kids have always loved it, and it is probably our most popular program in the sense that many young kids that start in that program want to keep doing Tae Kwon Do all the way to black belt and beyond.

It also has many benefits that are great for this age group. These include:

• Better Balance and Coordination – Tae Kwon Do teaches the muscles to work together. This supports better balance and coordination between the muscles and the brain.
• Staying Active While Burning Energy – 4 and 5 years olds have a LOT of energy, and it can be challenging to find engaging activities that kids that age enjoy that also build muscle and burn energy. Tae Kwon Do is absolutely one of those activities, helping your child stay active and burning off that extra energy to keep them calmer and healthier.
• Developing Fine and Gross Motor Movements – Tae Kwon Do teaches the muscles to work together, which helps develop both fine and gross motor skills which will help them in sports and in school.
• Increased Focus and Attention – This is where Tae Kwon Do really stands out. Part of the focus of our TKD programs is to help your child learn skills and behaviors that will help them in school. Tae Kwon Do is very focused building attention, memory, and self-control skills. These skills will help them in school and beyond.
• Personal Achievement – The belt system teaches children about setting goals and achieving great things. It provides them with the joy of achievement and accomplishment, all of which are helpful experiences for a developing child.
• Social Experiences – Many children have limited social experiences when they’re young. Ours provides collaborative social experiences early, teaching kids how to work together and have fun.

Master P’s Tae Kwon Do provides a positive environment with praise, encouragement, and an opportunity for skill building that will help your child for years to come.

It’s hard to find activities a 4 and 5 year old enjoy. But martial arts is highly effective at keeping them engaged and providing them with benefits for their mental and physical health. Sign up today and try us for free!
