Not meeting
Tiny Tigers Karate is paused
Paused until later this school year. Kids kung fu and Goju start at 5.
The art
When the class returns
When it returns, Tiny Tigers is karate for ages 3 to 7 with Sensei Sally Nolte. Tuition is $75 a month. The class is built from short games: balance on the beam, freeze on command, wait for your turn, crawl like a tiger, roar like a tiger, stand still like a tiger watching.
Themed weeks give the class a story. Balance of the Bamboo, Heart of the Tiger, Eyes of the Eagle, Speed of the Monkey. Each one teaches a skill and a virtue, and each ends with a stripe on the belt.
Where it comes from
Sensei Sally Nolte, a third dan in karate and tae kwon do, built the program for Cloud Forest families who wanted their youngest children on the mat before the kids classes begin at five. It runs as a partner program with its own tuition.
What it does for you
The whole class is a game of paying attention. It transfers straight to preschool and kindergarten.
Beam walks, one-foot freezes, and animal crawls build the basics every sport later depends on.
Waiting in line for the tire jump is a lesson in itself.
When they age out, Tiny Tigers students step into Kids Kung Fu or Goju Ryu already knowing how to bow, line up, and listen.
What the class is when it returns
When it runs: thirty minutes for the youngest, forty-five for the four to seven group. Circle time and a bow, tiger stretches, a balance course, a stance or a block taught as a game, then the tire jump or the tunnel crawl to finish. Stripes are awarded on the mat in front of everyone.
