Tiny Tigers | Junior Draogns | Teen Tigers

Tiny Tigers: Ages 4-6

The Tiger Tigers class focuses primarily on building the winning attributes needed for learning and productive living, discipline, courtesy, confidence, character, focus, concentration and teamwork. In addition, we focus on building the basic athletic skills of strength, flexibility and coordination through age-appropriate exercises, games and the fundamentals of martial arts. The physical martial arts skills taught at this level are not over emphasized for this age group.

Oregon Martial Arts is dedicated to helping each student realize all of the benefits that the Martial Arts have to offer. Let your children enjoy greater confidence and self-esteem while developing the skills that will last them a lifetime.

Martial Arts are Great for Children
Parents today are recognizing that the public school system is not enough. Millions of parents are bringing martial arts, as we teach here, into their children’s lives to supplement their education.

Carleton University, in a study reported in Psychology Today (January 1985), found that children in martial arts have a lower level of anxiety; an increased sense of responsibility; a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks; a higher sense of self-esteem; higher level of social intelligence; and were less likely to be radical.

Parents report these five important benefits their children in our school experience:

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.

Our program 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.

Our activities channel children's aggression
Many doctors actually prescribed our school for treatment because of the positive outlet it gives the kids for all their energy.

Our confidence classes enhance children's self-esteem
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.

Our program teaches children essential self-defense skills
Our program teaches practical, proven self-defense methods. We also teach the kids that the moves they learn in class will work, so they don’t go home and try them on their sister, or neighbor.

Junior Dragons: Ages 7-10
The Junior Dragons class focuses on all aspects of martial arts training both physical and mental. This class helps develop discipline, courtesy, self-control, confidence, character, concentration, teamwork and focus. Athletically we work on building strength, flexibility and coordination. The physical techniques of martial arts are also stressed for this age group.

The Junior Dragons Martial Arts program also develops effective skills in the areas of self-defense, personal awareness, assertiveness and the ability to de-escalate possible confrontations. In addition, this program teaches techniques from some of the most effective styles of Martial Arts, such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and Filipino Weaponry.

Students learn how to deal with bullies of all types, how to better understand their environment, and (most importantly) how to make the best decisions in bad situations.

Let your children enjoy greater confidence and self-esteem while developing the self-defense skills that will last them a lifetime.
