At King Tiger Taekwondo Harrisburg, our caring, friendly, and experienced instructors help to back your play as positive influences who inspire them to excel in their endeavors and to push forward, even when things get tough.
Live With Intention
Without direction, it's easy for youngsters to fall behind their peers. At King Tiger Taekwondo, we teach our Junior Tigers the importance of living and moving with intention. Through age-based foundational training, they learn tactics and movements to handle situations.
Martial Arts Skills Translate To Other Areas Of Life
Martial arts is more than physical exercise. The discipline teaches students how to focus and concentrate. Junior Tigers learn to control their emotions, become more confident, and improve their self-esteem. Students can apply what they've learned in martial arts from work to school, athletics, work, and more!

Instead of getting frustrated, Junior Tigers keep working until mastering the techniques to move forward. By not giving up, they learn the importance of perseverance.
