What You Will Learn
At Porco's Karate Academy we don't just teach karate,
we also teach life skills. See what our programs can offer your children...
PORCO'S KARATE - Karate Kids Programs: Tiny Tigers and Little Dragons | The World Tang Soo Do Association has created
specially designed programs for children ages 3 through 6. These programs introduce children to the positive influences of
the martial arts by stressing self-discipline and positive values. One of the best gifts you can provide for your children is the opportunity to possess the power of a successful life.
What are the powers? Patience, Concentration, Humility, Self-Discipline, Self-Control, and a Strong
Healthy Body with good Mental and Physical Coordination. Our Karate Kids Program
is unique in the physical education area, as it is not merely a form of self-defense. It is a Total Learning
and Improvement activity. Children learning Tang Soo Do begin by practicing the basic skills, which are the
foundation of this art. These skills improve and build coordination and balance.
We are professionals in this field
and are dedicated to your child's development, growth and achievement. After a few months of training, each child should
show dramatic changes, such as lower levels of anxiety, an increased sense of responsibility, and heightened self-esteem.
Most will also begin to show improvement in their school studies. Their training could be the priceless gift of starting your
child off properly on their road to a happy, successful life. We are licensed and fully trained professionals for this specific
program. We believe in, and value, the education and character of your child.

This program is designed to develop a positive character in today's children by utilizing strict guidelines and
a fun atmosphere at the same time.
Respect | One of the basic premises of the martial arts is respect. We teach respect first, for themselves
and all around them, and then we teach technique. | Self-Discipline | While we use the theory of an oriental warrior's disciplinary training, it is geared more towards
teaching children self-control as their mind and body matures. | Coordination | Through our routine technical training, a child's physical and mental coordination
will improve. | Behavior | The discipline
and rules of conduct in our classes, along with the bowing answering 'yes, sir/ma'am' and other attitude requirements,
help shape the child's behavior in a positive direction. | Confidence | Children discover self value and pride through our training with the attitude
of, 'he can do it, she can do it, I can do it'. | Patience | Many children have gotten used to instant gratification common in our high-tech world. Our classes will
help to bring out their inner calmness and endurance. As they experience achievement through the progression of our belt system,
they will learn to pursue goals with an 'always finish what you start' attitude. | Concentration | Developing power of concentration through our training is assisted by our 'all
our effort' which must be performed by the child in every class. Children learn the three keys of concentration - focus
mind, focus eyes, and focus bodies. This is one of the most important benefits of our program. These power of concentration
are transferred into a child's academic performance. | Responsibility | Children in our program learn that you must not only do the right thing, but you must do the right
thing for the right reason. It's easy to do something because you fear punishment. Personal responsibility means that
our children must choose the correct path on their own and accept the consequences for incorrect actions. | Cooperation | Group training with other children teaches the skill
of teamwork. Teamwork skills are valuable for use throughout the course of life. | Better Health | A formal training program helps to develop a child's body, inside and out.
Better mental and physical health improves all other areas of a child's life, such as eating and sleeping habits. | Grow with sense of justice | By utilizing our warrior's honor codes, children
will mature and grow with a sense of fairness. Our instructors will enforce the right way and wrong way throughout our lessons.
