Tiger parents, please scroll down through the curriculum in order to reference your child's belt specific requirements. We highly recommend downloading the PDF file below, which is a great reference for all of the Tiger techniques and skills. It's important for students to review current curriculum, as well as older skills (as we often do in class). Please remember that CLASS is the best place to learn and progress, however, the information contained here offers a great tool for parents. Be sure to visit the "PARENTS" tab at left for helpful hints, and information.
