TaeKwonDo

The style of TaeKwonDo practiced in ITA today is known as Ho-Am TaeKwonDo. This name symbolizes the spirit, values, and vision of the Alliance. The word ho means ‘tiger’ in Korean and the word am means ‘rock’. Tiger-Rock is identified with symbolism of the Siberian tiger, native to Korea and known for its power, prowess, and sense of justice but unfortunately endangered, just as our tenets are endangered values.

Tiger Cubs (Ages 3, 4, 5, and 6)

The ITA Tiger Cubs program is designed for children who are three, four, five, and six years old. It is intended to be an introductory and preparatory course for entrance into the regular junior TaeKwonDo classes. Many children in this age group are not yet capable of developing the physical abilities, social skills, and emotional maturity to be successful in a regular junior TaeKwonDo class but desire to be involved in ITA-franchised member academies; therefore, the ITA Tiger Cubs program has been developed.
