From the reviews
Joining Tiger was the best decision we could have made for our daughters and for myself. The instructors are dedicated to their students and to sharing their love of martial arts. I commend the way they incorporate life skills into their lessons. Their not just teaching kids to punch and kick.
Great trainers, wonderful with children, and eventually come to be like family. Have had kids here for about 2 years and I do classes with my wife. It is amazing how these folks teach everyone, young and old, and get results.
One of the best decisions made. My daughter has been attending Tiger Martial Arts for 5 years and absolutely loves her karate classes and seeing her instructors. She’s not only gained confidence with learning self defense, but also gained a network of extended family.
Tiger has been amazing for my son and my family! It is so much more than the physical aspects. The students learn and practice leadership, confidence, honor, respect, discipline, citizenship...you become part of the Tiger Family.
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.
