From the reviews
Great core BJJ instruction for kids. Extremely knowledgable instructors who are really patient teaching kids the technical moves of BJJ. Very clean, extremely friendly and a relaxed learning environment where kids can safely learn.My 3 kids love it here.
I started trading at 43 with no martial arts experience. This school is perfect for all! Plenty of extremely talented martial artists at high levels and other regular guys like me. It is a very welcoming environment but as challenging as you want. When I leave, I can’t wait until the next class.
If you are looking for effective martial arts self-defense training, for yourself and/or your family, Tiger is the place. The kids classes are disciplined and fun and the adult programs are organized and cogent.
One of the best self defense schools I've trained at. The instructors are very attentive to the students. There is a team/family vibe that is evident when you walk in. You can tell everyone who trains here really cares about learning Jiu Jitsu. The higher belts are very patient and eager to help.
Your first BJJ class at Tiger Academy of Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
