The karate instruction and an earlier time is geared to the younger student.   The Little Tigers will not only develop a solid foundation of karate basics, but also learn and practice self-control, self-discipline, and respect. They will gain a longer attention span and have fun!   Benefits of Shotokan Karate include not just physical development such as increased strength, better balance, agility, flexibility, coordination. But also positive character development including  healthy habits, a sense of justice, improved self-esteem, and confidence.   These tools prepare the young student to resist negative peer pressure, bullying, and to open up to opportunities to excel in whatever they choose to do in life.
