Master Bang's Martial Arts

Sophia joined sparring class and brought ALL the excitement! 💕
Running in circles ✔️
Crawling across the mat ✔️
Figuring things out ✔️
And finally… a couple of kicks! 🦵💥

She may have been a little all over the place, but one thing was clear—she was having the BEST time learning something new! 🥰

Every great martial artist starts somewhere. Sometimes it looks like running, crawling, laughing… and eventually getting that kick in! ❤️🥋

YES! 🐯🔥

Our Tiger Tot landed a successful kick and broke the board on the FIRST TRY! 💥👏

Board breaking isn’t just about strength—it’s about learning proper technique, committing to the movement, and having the confidence to follow through.

That moment when they realize, “I DID IT!” 🥹❤️

Way to go, Tiger Tot! 🐯🥋

Watch this student lead the class through the combination! 👊🔥

🥋 Roundhouse kick
💥 Jumping roundhouse kick
🔄 3 rolling roundhouse kicks
🏃‍♂️ Sprint back to the starting point
📣 3-second Kihap
✈️ Flying side kick!

This drill challenges students to remember combinations, maintain technique while moving quickly, control their breathing, and finish with confidence and power.

And that Kihap? That’s not just for volume—it’s about focus, intensity, and bringing everything together before that final flying side kick! 💪🥋

Testing is just a couple of weeks away! 🐯🥋💪

Master Bang is making sure our Tiger Tots are prepared by reviewing everything they’ve been working toward—including the 3 types of focus: mind, eyes, and body, punching and blocking techniques, proper kicking technique, and even somersault practice! 👊🦵🤸

It’s not just about knowing the moves—it’s about building focus, confidence, coordination, discipline, and perseverance. ❤️

These little Tigers are getting ready to show what they’ve learned! 🐯🔥

From Tiger Tots to White Belts, every new skill starts with believing you can do it! 💥🥋

These two students took on the jumping hammer fist board break—and showed us that confidence, focus, and determination can make some serious progress! 👊🔥

Way to go, champions! 🐯👏

Hopping, running, crawling & bouncing! 🐯💪
Our Tiger Tots warm up their bodies while building coordination, balance, strength, and confidence—all while having FUN! ❤️🥋

TA • KWON • DO! 🥋🐯

Our Tiger Tots are learning more than just how to kick—they’re building coordination, balance, focus, and confidence while having FUN! 💪

Three kicks, lots of energy, and plenty of little martial artists in the making. 🐯🥋

Proper technique takes patience—and our instructors are willing to slow down and make sure every student gets it. 🥋

But Sophia had other plans… 😂

She gets her side kick, runs off, and leaves her instructor waiting for that high five. Then just stands there staring at him with the biggest grin. 😂🥋

We love the patience, the teaching, and especially the personality that comes with every student. 💛

Our Green & Yellow Belts took on a team challenge where groups of three had to work together, hold a target pad between them, and race around the studio… without dropping it! 😆

Sounds easy, right? Not when you’re trying to move as a team! 😂

This exercise helps students practice communication, coordination, balance, focus, and teamwork—all while having fun and challenging each other.

Because in Taekwondo, getting stronger isn’t just about kicking harder. It’s about learning how to work together. 💪🥋

What does a Tiger Tots class actually look like? 🥋🐯

It’s so much more than kicking and punching.

Every class gives your child an opportunity to:

✨ Burn energy in a positive way
✨ Build coordination, balance & strength
✨ Learn focus and follow directions
✨ Develop confidence and self-discipline
✨ Practice age-appropriate self-defense skills
✨ Learn respect for instructors, parents & others
✨ Celebrate accomplishments and keep working toward the next goal

And we make sure they have FUN doing it. ❤️

From the first warm-up to earning a stripe, high-fiving Master Bang and proudly answering, “I am, sir!” — every class is helping build skills that go far beyond the mat.

If you’re a Bakersfield parent looking for an activity that helps your little one grow stronger, more confident and more disciplined, come see what Tiger Tots is all about. 🐯🥋
