Welcoming Ages 3 to 7
ATA Tigers
Introduce your child to the Tiger Cubs and Tigers programs in Minot. Perfect for ages 3 to 7, these classes build confidence, focus, and coordination in a fun and supportive setting.
Tiger Cubs (AGES 3-4)
Our Tiger Cubs program is perfect for preschoolers ages 3 to 4 who are beginning to explore movement, structure, and social interaction. These fun and energetic classes introduce the basics of Taekwondo in a safe, playful environment that keeps young learners engaged and excited to participate. Each lesson is filled with movement, creativity, and encouragement to help build early focus, coordination, and listening skills.
Through age-appropriate instruction and cartoon character cues, children learn foundational martial arts skills while developing balance, attention span, and social-emotional growth. The Tiger Cubs program helps little ones build confidence and respect while having fun—laying the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning and movement both on and off the mat.
Tigers (Ages 4–7)
Our Tigers program is designed for children ages 4 to 7, introducing them to martial arts in a fun, structured, and supportive environment. Each class focuses on developing balance, coordination, focus, and respect while helping children build confidence through positive reinforcement and goal setting. Students learn the basics of Taekwondo through age-appropriate lessons that encourage both physical and character growth.
As Tigers advance, they take on new challenges that build on the foundation of the Tiger Cubs program. Classes include basic Taekwondo techniques, beginner sparring, and self-defense with a focus on stranger awareness. Students also explore safe weapons training, learning with tools like the Ssahng Jeol Bong and Bahng Mahng Ee. Each lesson incorporates strong visual cues and cartoon role models that reinforce important values like respect, discipline, and confidence—skills that carry beyond the mat into everyday life.
