Programs

At USWC Taekwondo Portland, we specialize in introducing children, from toddlers up to age six, to the exhilarating world of Taekwondo. Through our renowned Tiny Tiger Program, your child will embark on a journey of self-discovery, building self-esteem, confidence, and personal character along the way.

For many young Tigers, our classes serve as their first exposure to a structured learning environment. Beyond mastering basic Taekwondo techniques like blocks, kicks, and punches, Tiny Tigers focus on developing essential life skills such as listening, self-control, self-confidence, and social interaction. As they progress through the Tiny Tiger Color Belt levels, they not only learn Hollywood School rules but also embrace the five Taekwondo Family Codes, including the principle of honesty—"Tell the Truth." We reinforce the rules of both home and school/daycare settings to instill a sense of responsibility and respect.

Our Tiny Tiger classes are vibrant and dynamic, filled with positive reinforcement and high-energy activities. From engaging group games like Spider Ball to individual recognition for exemplary behavior, every class is designed to nurture your child's potential. Tigers earn stars on their membership card for their achievements, with each milestone celebrated with a special uniform patch. This system encourages continuous improvement and motivates our Tiny Tigers to excel.

Join us in shaping the leaders of tomorrow—our community's children. Enroll your child as a Hollywood School Tiny Tiger today and watch them thrive in our Taekwondo program for kids!
