Tae Kwon Do, which the club specialises in, focuses on the art of kicking, blocking, and punching. However, it is not just a physical fighting skill; it is also a way of thought and life. Through strict discipline, Tae Kwon Do trains both the mind and the body, placing great emphasis on the development of personal character. In addition to physical strength, control of the mind, self-discipline, kindness, and humility are essential aspects of this martial art.

Tiger Taekwondo offers a range of training options, including traditional Taekwondo with an emphasis on learning offensive and defensive techniques through patterns (poomsae), self-defence techniques for dealing with various attack scenarios, and sport Taekwondo which is an Olympic sport. They strive to maintain the traditional aspects of W. T. F.

Taekwondo, promoting the learning of Korean words and understanding the roots of this ancient martial art.
