The dojo fosters a positive and supportive learning environment where children thrive and develop as individuals.
It's been a life changing Experience. From the very first day, my son knew he was in for something special. While visiting White Tiger Dojo, as soon as I noticed my son's reaction when he first met Sensei Darren, I immediately received that unspoken message. I never said this out loud, but I believe it was meant to be. In these past 9 months, my son learned the importance of self-discipline, he learned to respect his Sensei, his partners and the martial arts tradition. Lastly it boosted my son's confidence, focus and concentration in ways I never thought possible. I strongly recommend White Tiger Dojo to anyone. I seriously would join the adult classes if I had some "me" time. Thank you White Tiger Dojo and Thank you Sensei Darren!
What set White Tiger Dojo apart for us initially was how clearly student progress is based on achieving clearly defined goals while many other dojos seemed to award belts on a timeline. I also valued the low-pressure environment and have never been pressured to sign my kids up for additional classes, clinics, etc. You can truly make your experience fit your needs and goals. As a school counselor, I value not only the physical training my children receive at White Tiger Dojo, but also the social/emotional coaching and support. While we never want to imagine our children needing to defend themselves around peers, there have been several instances where the confidence and defensive skills learned at the Dojo have made my kids feel able to deal with difficult social interactions. The see/say/do exercise in particular allows students to roll play different scenarios and work together to come up with responsible and appropriate responses. This training is filling in the gaps in this area of education that is simply not thoroughly or appropriately covered in schools. This is truly a supportive community where students work together to achieve their goals and they receive endless support from the instructors. My kids are often excited to share some personal success or story with Senesi Darren. My son has also reached blue belt, allowing him at only 9 years old to begin working with beginner students–where else can kids this young begin developing leadership skills?! We are absolutely reaping the benefits of being a White Tiger Dojo family and I know my children are developing skills that will continue to serve them in the future.
Great instruction & good life lessons for kids!
