Jr. Tigers Program Ages 6-12
Parents report these 5 important benefits for their children from
our martial arts classes:
1. Our reward system improves children's self-esteem. Martial arts are
not like team sports because the emphasis is on developing the individual's
self-esteem not the team’s winning record. The belt system is the key. When
kids earn their belts it gives them a great sense of accomplishment that
really improves the way they feel about themselves.
2. Martial arts teaches children discipline. One of the things parents appreciate most about
our classes is the improvement in their child’s self-discipline. We have a
wonderful staff of patient instructors who love to work with children, but are
also very clear about limits. We enforce good rules of behavior in class, and
we expect the same good behavior at home and in school.
3. Our activities channel children's energy. Many doctors actually prescribed our
school for treatment for ADD and aggressive behavior because of the positive
outlet it gives the kids for all their energy.
4. We enhance children's confidence. We believe confidence is one of the most important
things we can give kids. That’s why every class we teach has confidence-building drills included.
5. We teach children Bully-Defense and Stranger Awareness skills. Our program safely teaches
practical and proven self-defense methods. Students are given the confidence
and skills to walk away from a bully or to protect themselves from a physical
attack.
Testimonials From Our Proud Parents and Students
"Such a great environment for the students. This place reinforces discipline in a positive manner and they are always welcoming. They are concerned about your child's well being and that they thrive."
Tania Anderson
"As a classroom teacher I have seen the benefits that martial arts has on students confidence, dedication, and overall character, both in and out of the classroom. Brent is a master motivator who instills morals that inspire young people to become lifelong learners. I am very confident in Mr. Tibbetts ability to instruct with the utmost professionalism, passion, and respect. I cannot wait to move back to Spokane area to enroll both of my children into the 3-Tigers Martial Arts program!"
Ryan Carlstrom
"My son now 14 started doing martial arts at 3-tigers at the age of 5. He has not only developed martial Arts skills but this program has instilled great values and morals in him. As reflected in his recent Spokane Pace Youth Award. This award is for outstanding Character. only 1 student from each of 49 schools is nominated. . 3-tigers and Mr Tibbetts has played a key roll in developing this in my son. Spokane is Blessed to have such an outstanding teacher and mentor. Thank you 3-tigers"

"My daughter has been with 3 Tigers Martial Arts since age 4, she is now 11. In her 7+ years, she has competed in several tournaments, with nothing less than a 2nd place finish, winning back to back Grand Champion in kata and placing 1st in sparring vs. boys ages 12-13 years old. She didn't do this on her own, and certainly didn't do it from my instruction. The instructors (I have not seen a woman instructor in 7 years, and there has never been a sign in sheet) strike the perfect balance of discipline and fun. If there is one thing I've learned in my 19 years in education, there must be a balance in these two areas. If you are looking to train the next Bruce Lee, this probably isn't the studio. But, if you're wanting your child to learn self discipline, get quality instruction in Taekwondo, and build self esteem, this is the place for you."

"Love this place! Great atmosphere for kids and a great team of instructors! Would recommend to anyone looking to get there kids into martial arts."
Anthony Smith
"We have been attending classes for about 2 years now and it has become an important factor in the development of our child. The classes are smaller in size which allows more one on one time for learning, gaining confidence, and building solid foundations in not only a sport but in life skills. I have seen a tremendous change in my child's overall behaviors. He looks forward to going to class and earning his stripes. Master Tibbetts truly cares about each kid and their families! Win/win for all!!"
