Conveniently located in Brendale, we proudly serve families across Brisbane Northside. The Little Tigers program is one of our most popular entry points into the world of martial arts and helps set young students up for long-term success — not only in Taekwondo, but in school and life.
The early years are critical for developing motor skills, social behaviours, and basic confidence. Our Little Tigers classes are tailored to suit the developmental needs of 3 to 6-year-olds and combine elements of martial arts with fun, structured play. This is not just a “kids’ play session” — it’s a purpose-built martial arts curriculum designed by experienced instructors who understand how to inspire, motivate, and guide young learners.
Each class blends simple Taekwondo movements with fun drills, games, and partner activities that keep young children engaged while reinforcing good behaviour and personal development.
Safety is our number one priority. All Little Tigers classes are taught by experienced instructors who are not only black belts in Taekwondo but are also trained in child development and communication. We create a nurturing environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and safe to try new things — even if they’re shy or uncertain at first.
We keep class sizes small to ensure that each child receives personalised attention. Our goal is to help each student thrive at their own pace while gradually introducing the structure and routine that martial arts training is known for. Parents are welcome to stay and observe — and we often find that the supportive community among families makes classes even more enjoyable.
Balance of discipline and enjoyment to maintain engagement
Each child is guided through basic techniques and rewarded for effort and improvement
Patient, qualified, and experienced in working with young children
Carefully developed to support early learning and martial arts fundamentals
Positive and welcoming atmosphere with a strong community spirit
Even at this young age, students begin learning the foundational movements of Taekwondo — stances, blocks, and simple kicks. These skills help develop coordination and introduce basic self-defence in a non-aggressive, child-friendly way. While we do not promote any kind of contact sparring in the Little Tigers program, we do emphasise confidence in body movement, awareness of personal space, and the ability to say “no” with assertiveness.
Our program is designed to prepare children for the transition into our full Children’s Taekwondo Program, which starts from age 6 and builds upon the skills learned in Little Tigers. Graduating from Little Tigers is a proud moment for every student — and for many, it marks the beginning of a long and rewarding journey through martial arts.
While the Little Tigers program is an introduction to martial arts, its benefits extend far beyond the training hall. Many of the skills developed in this program support success in preschool and school environments. For example:
We reinforce the values of courtesy, perseverance, and respect in every class, helping to instill a sense of responsibility and self-belief in even our youngest students.
If you’re looking for a fun and meaningful activity for your preschooler, we invite you to try our Little Tigers program at Flinn Taekwondo Academy in Brendale. Your child will learn, move, and grow in a safe, structured, and encouraging space — all under the guidance of trusted professionals.
