Members
of Team Red Tiger are junior and adult students who are already accelerating
in class and want to go to the next level of performance. This team
trains to be competitive at the national and state level at open tournaments throughout the year. They also perform at various Red Tiger, school, and volunteer events. This training
is in addition to attending the Red Tiger Karate classes.

this group is by invitation only, from your Head Instructor. Every semester,
the Head Instructor is evaluating students in our Red Tiger Karate classes
to identify the top 5% for our team. The number of students we invite
to join is based on how many spots we have available during any particular
semester. Instructors use the following criteria as a general guideline:
- Students
are usually blue belt or higher rank.
- Good
students at school and maintain an acceptable grade point average.

students in karate class and maintain a good attitude at home.
- Exhibit
excellent balance, coordination, flexibility, and conditioning.
- Perform
class techniques properly, with good tension and snap.
- Ability
to follow instructions and learn quickly.

a good sense of timing and distance when sparring.
