JKA KARATE SHOTOKAN TIGER CUBS  

What is Shotokan Tiger Cubs Karate ?

 The Shotokan Tiger Cub class is a special class and allows younger children to experience the art of JKA Karate in a safer and less disciplined environment than the senior classes. These classes will be an extension of the current instruction already available, and while starting children at an early age, it is hoped to take them from beginner to Black Belt , with tuition specifically to suit the younger child.

The 'Tiger Cub ' name evolved as a direct result of the influence of the late World-renowned Karate master Sensei K. Enoeda 9th Dan JKA, who was nicknamed 'The Shotokan Tiger' for his strength,speed,power and fearlessness.

 Class Content

 The classes will include general exercise activities as well as traditional JKA Karate techniques. Time will be allocated for the children to learn about Japanese culture and simple Japanese words and phrases, which will be helpful as their Karate progresses. There will be no fighting/contact at this level.

 Clothing

 For the introduction course, a special traditional Japanese white karate suit(Gi) will be worn, which is provided in the membership pack.

 Moving up to junior clases

 Once the child is confident enough to move up to the junior classes they will have an opportunity to sit the examination for Orange belt.
