White Tiger “Tiger Cubs” Tewkesbury

White Tiger “Tiger Cubs” Tewkesbury A fun Martial Arts syllabus specifically designed for children between 4 - 9 yrs of age. Children learn through play, have fun, and gain life skills.

The Instructor, Mrs Jill Wanklyn is a 4th Degree Black Belt and has been training in Taekwon-Do for approximately 26 years. On the 28th September 2019, Mrs Wanklyn was presented with her 4th Degree Black Belt by one of the few remaining first generation pioneers of Tae Kwon-Do, Grandmaster Kong Young Il and Grandmaster Keith Finch for the promotion of and services to Tae Kwon-Do. The Tiger Cubs pr

ogramme teaches children to be good citizens and prepares them for life, or at least school. This programme includes lessons in safety and life skills, as well as physical martial arts skills. These skills help the students become well rounded by promoting the child's social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth. We approach the physical portion of this class as a Martial Arts focused physical education class. The life skills portion of the class focuses on developing mental, social, and emotional skills. All skills and promotions are based on participation and programme completion. Our primary objective is to get the students involved, giving 100% effort, having fun and playing. The focus of the Tiger Cubs class is to develop fundamental basics. Therefore, we teach very few of the martial arts skills that you will see in older children's programmes. Instead, we focus on the skills they need BEFORE entering the older classes. Learn to share, Develop self-esteem, Develop a sense of independence, Take turns, Stimulate curiosity, Develop speech & language, Promote physical strength, Promote co-ordination and stamina, Develop a love of learning. Please find below the list of units covered in our Life Skills and Safety Skills syllabus.

🐯 Tiger Cubs, Skills for Life, Not Just the Summer Holidays! ☀️🥋

As the summer holidays arrive, you'll see lots of clubs and activities offering six weeks of fun to keep children occupied. At White Tiger Martial Arts, we believe children deserve something that lasts far beyond the school holidays.

Our Tiger Cubs programme isn't just a six week activity. It's a year round journey that helps children grow in confidence, develop important life skills and build healthy habits that will stay with them for years to come. 🌟

🌱 Growth Takes Time

Real confidence, discipline and resilience aren't built in just a few weeks.

Martial arts is about regular practice, steady progress and celebrating achievements along the way. That's why Tiger Cubs runs throughout the year, giving every child the opportunity to continually learn, improve and thrive.

🥋 More Than Just Martial Arts

Every Tiger Cubs class is carefully designed to help children develop:

👊 Basic martial arts techniques.
🛡️ Simple self-defence awareness.
🚸 Stranger Danger education.
🚦 The Green Cross Code.
🔥 Fire Safety awareness.
🎯 Focus and concentration.
💪 Confidence and self-belief.
🤝 Respect for others.
😊 Good manners and positive behaviour.
⭐ Teamwork and social skills.
❤️ Perseverance and resilience.

⏳ Why Year Round Training Matters

Children benefit most when learning is consistent.

By attending regular classes throughout the year they continue to:

✅ Build confidence week after week.
✅ Improve their fitness and coordination.
✅ Develop stronger friendships.
✅ Learn to overcome challenges.
✅ Progress through achievable goals.
✅ Earn new belts and celebrate their success.

Each class builds on the last, helping children become more capable and more confident with every session.

☀️ Six Weeks Can Be Fun... But Imagine What a Year Can Do!

🐯 Invest in Their Future

💛 Skills for life. Confidence for the future. Fun every single week.

Martial arts does something for children that sport alone often cannot. It develops the whole child. 🐯

Physical ability is only part of what is built in the Tiger Cubs classroom. Alongside improved coordination and fitness, children develop the ability to listen carefully in a demanding environment, to respond to instruction without losing composure, and to try something difficult repeatedly without becoming frustrated. They learn to show respect to instructors and peers as a habit, not as a rule they are reminded of.

These qualities are not developed automatically. They come through regular practice in the right environment. The Tiger Cubs classroom at White Tiger is designed to provide exactly that: structured, positive, and demanding enough that children rise to a standard that serves them everywhere.

Next class: Saturday 1st August, 11:45am. Ages 4 and above.

Children who train in martial arts from an early age often develop something that is difficult to name but easy to recognise: a settled, confident presence. 🐯

It shows up in the way they walk into a new environment. In the way they respond to challenges that frustrate other children. In the way they interact with adults and peers. It is not the result of a single class or a single belt. It is the accumulated product of regular, structured, physical activity delivered in an environment that expects respect, rewards effort, and celebrates growth.

Tiger Cubs is where this begins for children aged four and above in Tewkesbury. The Saturday class builds coordination, confidence, and character through age-appropriate martial arts training delivered by instructors who genuinely care about how children develop.

Next class: Saturday 1st August, 11:45am. First session free.

🐯 Tiger Cubs, Building Strong Foundations for a Lifetime of Martial Arts

At White Tiger Martial Arts, our Tiger Cubs programme is much more than just an introduction to martial arts. It is the perfect foundation for children before progressing into our main Taekwon-Do classes.

Designed especially for younger children, Tiger Cubs helps develop confidence, coordination, listening skills and discipline in a fun, safe and engaging environment. Every lesson is carefully structured to keep children active, learning and smiling! 😊

🥋 Preparing for the Next Step

Our Tiger Cubs programme introduces children to the fundamental skills they will need as they move into our main Taekwon-Do classes. By building these strong foundations early, children develop the confidence and ability to progress smoothly through their martial arts journey.

🛡️ Essential Life Skills

We believe martial arts should prepare children for life, not just the training hall. That's why our Tiger Cubs also learn valuable personal safety lessons, including:

🚸 Stranger Danger, helping children understand how to stay safe in different situations.

🚦 The Green Cross Code, teaching important road safety habits they can use every day.

🔥 Fire Safety, giving children simple but essential knowledge about what to do in an emergency.

These lessons are delivered in an age appropriate and engaging way, making them easy to understand and remember.

👊 Learning Martial Arts Fundamentals

Children are introduced to the core principles of martial arts through exciting activities and structured lessons, including:

🥊 Correct punching techniques.

🦵 Basic kicking skills.

🛡️ Simple defensive movements.

🤝 Basic self-defence awareness.

💥 Safe and controlled striking techniques.

🤸 Balance, coordination and body control.

Every skill is taught with patience, encouragement and a focus on correct technique from the very beginning.

🌟 Building Skills for Life

Tiger Cubs isn't just about learning to punch and kick. Every class helps children develop important life skills such as:

⭐ Confidence

⭐ Respect

⭐ Discipline

⭐ Focus

⭐ Teamwork

⭐ Good manners

⭐ Listening skills

⭐ Perseverance

These qualities help children both inside and outside the training hall, whether at school, at home or with friends.

🎉 Learning Through Fun

Children learn best when they're enjoying themselves, and that's exactly what Tiger Cubs is all about. Through exciting games, challenging activities and rewarding achievements, every class is designed to keep children motivated while developing new skills.

Our instructors create a positive and supportive atmosphere where every child is encouraged to do their best, celebrate their successes and enjoy every step of their martial arts journey.

🐯 Tiger Cubs is where confidence grows, friendships begin and future Black Belts take their very first steps.

As a parent, the instinct is to protect your children. The challenge is that you cannot always be there. What you can give them is the awareness and confidence to protect themselves. 🐯

Tiger Cubs builds this from the ground up. Children learn to recognise what safe and unsafe situations feel like, to communicate clearly and assertively, and to move with the physical confidence that comes from knowing what their body is capable of.

These are not abstract lessons. They are practised every week, embedded through repetition in an environment where children feel safe to make mistakes and grow. The instructors at Tiger Cubs understand that the greatest gift you can give a young child is not a technique, it's a mindset.

Next class: Saturday 1st August, 11:45am. First session free. Ages 4 and above.

Self-defence for children is not about fighting. It's about awareness. 🐯

A child who learns to recognise unsafe situations, who knows how to use their voice assertively, who understands what personal space means, and who has the physical confidence to move and act with intention, is a safer child. Not because they can win a fight, but because they are far less likely to find themselves in one.

Tiger Cubs teaches all of these things. The curriculum builds spatial awareness, assertive communication, and the physical self-confidence that comes from knowing what your body can do. It is structured, age-appropriate, and delivered by instructors who understand child development as well as martial arts.

Next class: Saturday 1st August, 11:45am. Ages 4 and above. First session free.

Monday is a good day to ask: what is my child actually developing right now, outside of school? 🐯

Academic skills are built in the classroom. But the confidence to handle an unfamiliar situation, the awareness to recognise when something doesn't feel right, and the self-assurance to act on that instinct, these are not typically part of a school curriculum.

Tiger Cubs introduces children to these foundations from age four. Not through fear, but through the kind of structured, positive physical training that builds genuine self-awareness. Children learn how to hold themselves, how to move with purpose, and how to respond to situations they don't expect. These are early building blocks of correct self-defence thinking that many adults never develop.
