Tiger Challenge

The Tiger Challenge is about saying yes to opportunity and putting yourself out there. It is a huge motivational tool to help students in their training and expand their comfort levels. It is a fun and friendly tournament that inspires us to participate within a safe school environment.

What do I love about the Tiger Challenge?

I love the ceremony of the event. Starting the day off with a lion dance helps to ground me in the beauty and art of Kung Fu. It is a great way to start the day! 

I love to watch and I am inspired by each student that steps outside their comfort zone when they stand in front of the judges for their event. A combination of confidence, nerves, joy and effort is evident in all.

I love to watch the creativity of students that enter and perform in the musical events.

I love to see the progression of skill and engagement in students form the youngest to the advanced. 

I plan for and love to stay for the entire day so that I can watch or be involved in as many events as possible. I am there for my events and to cheer on others throughout the day.

By the end of the day I am be filled with a sense of accomplishment. And with that sense of accomplishment I grow as a person no matter how I place when it comes to metals won or lost. The beauty is I took part, I stepped out of my comfort zone, lessons were learned, fun was had and positive steps forward were taken. After all we are a school of likeminded individuals training, learning and growing at our own pace and together, providing support and encouragement for all.
