Master James…read moreSmith, a 6th Dan Black Belt, and his group of black belt instructors are professional and knowledgable. He will push you in traditional Tae Kwon Do from forms and patterns, to mastering kicks to weapons. And then sparring class. The toughest workout I have ever done. I have played football, baseball, basketball, weight lifted etc. This night leaves me so sweaty and exhausted. An amazing workout. I signed up my son (5 at the time) to learn martial arts. We did our home work and learned from several friends and reviews that this place would be a perfect fit. He has been in it for just over a year and has belted up to his fifth belt (blue). He was never a child who needed help with focus, although if that is needed, martial arts will help. He did have issues with confidence. He is slowly breaking out of his shell. Mr Jimmy is very good with the kids. He is tough when he needs to be, but never mean. "Punishments" are wall kicks or push ups. This forces focus, while building strength. The kids love going and respect him, classes are always fun, and having fun and laughing is a big part of the learning process here. This is not just for kids though. After watching him for almost a year, I signed up. It just looked like so much fun. I have belted up to green as of this review (my 4th belt). I look forward to class every night that I have it. I have belted up faster than children. Perhaps because I "learned" all techniques watching my son. Maybe the early belts are easier for adults. One thing I have learned is never ask for a test. You will be told when you are ready. I will be signing up for Hapkido in the fall. I have nothing but positive things to say about this "dojang" or gym. Mr Jimmy (as he is known by the kids) teaches 95% of the classes himself. He has many black belts that assist so people new to a belt are never thrown into a class with people who know the material. If you want some good exercise, and are bored with the gym (I do both) I highly recommend White Tiger Martial Arts.

We started going to keep in shape during Covid and partly for me to live out my dream of being a Kung Fu fighting Hero and we ended up falling in love with it and the teachers! Just recently the instructors incorporated a "Squid Game" theme for our class and it was soo much fun that we were almost ok with doing intense training because of all the fun we were having. That just shows, to me at least, that the teachers are knowledgeable on the current times/events and are committed to looking for new ways to keep us engaged. Did I mention how friendly and kind everyone from the owner to staff members are? They are patient with my boys, but also stern and I find that to be a great balance. I can't wait to see how much we all grow from these classes and experience. I recommend King Tiger Martial Arts to all! Even if you think you're old like me sign up lol!

I highly recommend this school to anyone who is wanting more self-discipline, more balance (both physical balance and life balance), and overall well-being in their lives. I certainly have benefited from all three since beginning my training. I like the structure of the classes; content is introduced gradually so that students are guaranteed to succeed. It does wonders for self-confidence! The classes do follow a structure but they're are fun and a great workout. Whew - the sparring classes especially are a fun and sweaty time. LOL An unexpected benefit I would receive that I didn't realize at the time was natural healing arts training. The Natural Healing Arts classes combine meditation, yoga, tai chi, and qigong. I started training in NHA simultaneously with taekwondo/hapkido my first year in and now I meditate and practice qigong every day. The taekwondo/hapkido classes and the NHA classes are wonderfully complementary to each other - and I don't know of any other martial arts school that offers both in such a balanced and complete way!

Recently, I was in the market for trying something new because Groupon adventures add interest to my life. This was one of them. 1st day of instruction went something like this: We show up, do some basic movements, pair up, practice, and somewhere in between we switch partners and I am paired with a 200lb wrestler. HAH! After getting shaken around a bit, still scared out of my mind and questioning my choices up to that point, I got a great workout, a load of information, and some very useful self-defense moves. Bless these guys for going easy on me because I do not have any sort of muscle definition. I bet if I come here often enough I can one day overtake them because BJJ is more so about skill than it is about strength. The instructor Josh was very patient with us. We came in with no experience and he was able to skillfully show us how to do BJJ even if it took a couple of times. Can't say this type of workout is for everyone since it's a full contact sport but, was very fun and an incredible workout. Would highly recommend this place to anyone, amateur or pro who wants to improve their skill because the skills you learn are definitely useful. Keep in mind this place is not aesthetically pleasing and not the cleanest because people keep sweating profusely but, it's still a great learning experience with awesome people who know their craft so, that's why I gave it 5 stars. Definitely, check out their site for schedules and such because there's more info on there. Give it a chance if you're up for the challenge!
