Hello! I'm Patty Troia, Master Instructor with over 37 years of experience teaching students of all ages. I love teaching and continue to learn something new from my students every day. 

I originally developed the Lions, Tigers & Bears program at my own martial arts school to address a growing need to separate our young students into 3 age groups to meet their development differences. We found that creating separate age groups allowed us to expand our children's program while better meeting the individual needs of a wide range of ages and abilities.

​

While developing the Lions, Tigers & Bears program, I generated homework assignments for the kids, created fun games to develop strong motor skills, researched the most effective means of teaching situational awareness to young students, created lesson plans and mat chats, and so much more. I look forward to sharing all of this information with fellow instructors and school owners in our new ebook that will be available very soon!

​

Once the Lions, Tigers & Bears program was implemented at our school and really began to grow, I also saw a need for professionally designed, high-quality, custom LTB merchandise and promotional items, so the next step was to create a product line. I am excited to be able to offer these products to fellow school owners. The LTB merchandise can be used whether you choose to implement the Lions, Tigers & Bears program at your own school or you prefer to keep your existing children's program.
