ABOUT TIGER J
Tiger J Taekwondo is a welcoming martial arts school proudly serving Long Island City since 2014. As the community’s first Taekwondo dojang, we provide high-quality instruction for students ages three through adulthood in a safe, supportive, and motivating environment.
Our programs develop more than martial arts skills. Through structured training, students improve their strength, flexibility, coordination, focus, and self-defense while building confidence, discipline, respect, perseverance, and character. Our experienced instructors guide every student according to their age, experience, and individual needs.
For more than eleven years, Tiger J Taekwondo has grown alongside the Long Island City community, creating lasting relationships among students, families, and instructors. Our mission is to help every student discover their potential and develop skills and values that will benefit them for a lifetime.
