Danny, who joined our little Tigers for the first time last week, was picked to bring home Tiny Timmy.l from the first class of the new year... what a lucky little tiger Timmy is. He had a fun week with Danny getting up to loads of adventures with his new friend. Welcome to the Tiger Family Danny 🐯

Looking forward to seeing everyone back in class today... Tiny Timmy got a cool new pair of shoes from Santa but unfortunately they were a little big so he told Mrs Healy she can wear them (he knows her too well) such a kind Little Tiger he is 🐯🥰

Super proud of all these Little Tigers yesterday evening who showed us all how much they are learning and how dedication by parents really pays off.
Well done to you all. 👏👏👏
For the few that couldn’t attend due to illness don’t worry I will do a mini grading for you all in your first class in the new year.
Happy Christmas to you all and all your families.

Thank you to all our Little Tigers to contributed to this great cause 👏🎅🥰

A huge THANK YOU! to all our members for supporting this years food appeal to help our homeless.
Each week students added one item to the shopping list ( some weeks even more) and brought them along to classes. With our last week of classes before the holidays we will be delivering in plenty of time.
Hopefully this will make a small difference to someone in need.

People always asked "Why do you pay so much money for your kids to do all their sports”? Well I have a confession to make; I don't pay for my kids to to do sports. Personally, I couldn't care less about what sport they do.

So, if I am not paying for sports what am I paying for?

- I pay for those moments when my kids become so tired they want to quit but don't.

- I pay for those days when my kids come home from school and are "too tired" to go to their training but they go anyway.

- I pay for my kids to learn to be disciplined, focused and dedicated.

- I pay for my kids to learn to take care of their body and learn how to correctly fuel their body for success.

- I pay for my kids to learn to work with others and to be good team mates, gracious in defeat and humble in success.

- I pay for my kids to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don't get that placing or title they'd hoped for, but still they go back week after week giving it their best shot.

- I pay for my kids to learn to make and accomplish goals.

- I pay for my kids to respect, not only themselves, but others, officials, judges and coaches.

- I pay for my kids to learn that it takes hours and hours, years and years of hard work and practice to create a champion and that success does not happen overnight.

- I pay for my kids to be proud of small achievements, and to work towards long term goals.

- I pay for the opportunity my kids have and will have to make life-long friendships, create lifelong memories, to be as proud of their achievements as I am.

- I pay so that my kids can be in the gym instead of in front of a screen...

- I pay for those rides home where we make precious memories talking about practice, both good and bad.

-I pay so that my child can learn the importance of time management and balancing what is important like school and keeping grades up
..I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for sports; I pay for the opportunities that sports provides my kids with to develop attributes that will serve them well throughout their lives and give them the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far I think it is a great investment!"

Very true, getting back to the basics & having fun is so important for our little one’s development 🐯

Parents...can we get back to basics.

We live in a very structured society, pre school, junior infants, senior infants, secondary school , college maybe or full time job. Everything is mapped out for us and our kids.

As adults it is easy to forget what it was like to live in the moment, carefree and to just enjoy the moment. (A few glasses of wine is probably the closest we get to that feeling🍾)

We place our kids into activities with a plan for the child but we sometimes need to step back and try to see it from their point of view.

It’s quite simple what they want-just good old fun with their friends. We can get caught up in the goals and the medals 🏅 of sport but at this young age it is about preparing them for any activity, becoming social, slowing losing any insecurities they may have and becoming confident little beings.

The Tigers life skills course has helped change kids from being really shy ☺️ individuals to being able to stand up in front of a group and demonstrate exercises and life skill themes.

How many adults would put their hand up and say they enjoy speaking in front of groups. Not many I would say so to help a child to do this I would say is a special attribute for them and
will prepare them for life itself.

Sometimes it’s the small things that determines the bigger things in life.

Children need engagement, excitement and encouragement through structured play and eventually they will progress the competitive side of sport.

Giving your child a play based start to martial arts has proven to be a better option for longevity in training. Let them take their time and it let it happen naturally.

Kids have the rest of their lives to be serious so we say LET THE FUN CONTINUE
