ABOUT OUR CLUB
Tigers Shotokan Karate is a friendly and enthusiastic Karate club that offers traditional Shotokan training for men, women, teenagers and children.
Although important, Karate is useful for so much more than just the self-defense and physical aspects. The benefits of regular training expands the mind and forges unparalleled discipline.
Our classes encourage students to push themselves to be the best they can be
KIDS CLASSES
We strive to enhance motivation, focus, and confidence towards challenges to achieve success in what you want out of life.
Martial Arts is a huge catharsis for so many! It is well known to increase physical fitness and improve mental well-being through routine training, stimulating the mind, and blossoming self-worth.
We also run separate children's classes designed to meet their individual needs. Through these lessons we help develop focus, confidence, social skills, as well as including a series of fun Karate related games!
It goes without saying that children are particularly vulnerable to dangers in society. Our classes teach them how to avoid and be aware of risks, and equip them to handle various situations.
At Tigers, we take pride in our inclusive and welcoming environment that we have created for every one of our students.
BELTS AND GRADINGS
Gradings take place every 3 months, and although there is no pressure to grade, your Sensei will offer guidance as to when you will be ready for your next belt.
To answer everyone's favourite question... a black belt can be achieved in 4 years with regular training.
Fun Fact: In tradional Karate, there were only 2 belts, white and black! The belt turned black after years of training and is a testament of determination and experience.
