Whether you plan to compete or play with the idea, or you just plain want to lose a few pounds. We more than promess you that you will become a raving fan.

       If you are looking to become a Champion, that is to say that you have reach the maturity necessary, that you have the hunger that is required, that you will be willing to work harder than you can imagine, you have come to the right place, but even if that is your goal, and you lack the winning utinsels. We will give you the skills and the knowledge to forge ahead.
"The only lost battle is that which you don't take part in"

When you were a kid or still are, you were told to exersice your imagination. Why dream, when you can live that dream, reality is hitting you in the face!
True, real training in the Combat Sports. Don't regret today, tomorrow.

"Dream no small dream as it has no strength to move the hearts of man"

Purpose

 

Young Tigers Foundation , Inc.  is in direct response to the growing number of youth “falling through the cracks” at schools, or are entangled in the juvenile system.  In 2001, students age 12 through 18 fell victim of about 161,000 serious crimes at school and about 290,000 away from school.  About 6% of students carried a weapon, such as a knife or club, onto school property.  16 school associated homicides were against school age children by street gangs in those schools.  Today, more than 200 Delinquency Prevention Programs exist in Florida.  These programs serve more than 75,000 youth annually, while 100,000 are arrested annually.  A number of these programs offer sports, but none offer the extensive range or infrastructure of our staff.  Our Sport Program consists of 3 different arts of hand to hand combat that are very popular in the sport arena.  These include Western Boxing, Muay Thai kickboxing, Submission Grappling and Mixed Martial Arts.  These are performed in a team oriented program in a family atmosphere where proper behavior, respect, and compassion are learned.  This teaches the values that make an individual a quality citizen in the community.

Boxing

 

Western Boxing

 

 

Boxing as we know it was formed in the late 19th Century, but dates back about 300 years.  Western Boxing uses the hands to expertly attack the upper body and focuses on mobility to outmaneuver your opponent.

 

 

 

 

 

Muay Thai Kickboxing

 

Muay Thai

 

Modern Muay Thai came about in the 1920’s.  Muay Thai uses the bodies’ eight natural weapons (hands, elbows, knees, and feet) to strike any part of the body.  The strength of Muay Thai is in the use of standing grappling to control your opponent while delivering elbow and knee strikes.

 

 

 

 

 

Submission Grappling

 

Submission

 

Submission Grappling came to the worlds stage in the 1990’s.  It uses leverage to manipulate the opponent’s joints, applying body throws and chokes forcing the opponent into submission.

 

 

 

 

 

Mixed Martial Arts

 

Mixed Martial Arts

 

Mixed Martial Arts is known as the ultimate in combat sports. It is the premier; it makes use of all of the Martial Arts mention, to create the most completed system of unarmed combat.
