The Tigers Den Dojo was established in April of 2004 with the merger

                                      of a POLICE Sergeant and a  SHOTOKAN  Black Belt Instructor, wanting

                                      to make a difference in the lives of children as they  become young adults.

                                      We at the Tigers Den Dojo understand what children face in today's  society

                                      with the ever growing problems with drugs and crime.  We understand

                                      what problems children face at  school with Bully's and peer pressure,

                                      and for these reason this is why we have made this merger such a success. 

                                      In January of 2008, we took on a new partner (Jonathan Minton) who was one

                                     of our leading students. We opened a new larger facility in North Wilkesboro

                                     and have much more to offer as we grow. Jonathan is an expert with many

                                     different types of Martial arts weapons and we have added some weapons training

                                     which the kids love.  Our new facility will have a childrens class and an adult class.

                                     We have the childrens room complete and will hopefully have the adult classroom

                                      completed this year.     

                                                Not only do we teach the art of SHOTOKAN karate,

                                                                We teach crime prevention. 

                       No one in Wilkes County wants to have to face the fact that gangs and big city

                                crime can reach Wilkes. Its here and its and its getting worse all the time. We

                                want every child to be aware of this problem and be prepared to deal with the

                                pressures to join gangs and feel comfortable with being able to say NO !!!!

                                                        Dont let your child be a statistic

                                                 Every student must earn each belt. This is what we call ............

                                                                     " Earning you'r stripes."
