This karate school has been incredible for my son, who's almost six. He started at about age 4.5,…read moreand his focus has grown so much in the time we've been coming here. Sensei Peter always gets the kids focused, smiling, and pushing themselves to be better. Whenever my son seems to have a tough day, or his energy is low, Sensei, Lukas and Morgan get him engaged and trying the best he can. When he's had a good day, he comes out telling me he feels like a Superhero!! My son had a tough day at school a few weeks ago, and Lukas stayed after class with him, which was in theory to help him practice his blocking but really was more about shoring up his confidence and making him feel heard and seen. After seeing my boy feeling low on the drive over, and then seeing him transformed at the end of class, I was overwhelmed with gratitude to this amazing business. Thank you so much, Peter Pippos Karate Center. We are a loyal family for life and appreciate you so much as part of our family's community!

The master even asked her sister to write a review it seems like after I wrote a 1 star review. She doesnt even attend the dojang. So I ended up writing a comment on her post on Billerica mom's page where she advertise her business and now she erased that and took comment option off her posts. Wow........... I *****DO NOT!!!****recommend Tiger Ans to anyone. My daughter has joined here ever since they opened. Past 2 years have been great. One evening I dropped off my daughter to her class and I went outside to make some phone calls while she was in class. After 45 mins I went back inside to see my daughter sitting looking miserable. I asked what happened and the master told me she got hurt before the class even started. So I asked them why they didn't call me but their reason was because they had to teach the class and they thought she would get better. There are 2 Masters and any of them couldn't call me because they had to teach the class. I guess class is more important then a child being hurt. I felt so bad for my daughter sitting there so miserable for almost 1 hr just holding her wrist up. This doesn't make sense to me and this is very unprofessional. It is common sense to call the parent of a child if the child gets hurt to let them know, especially when the child is young. I called my daughters pediatrician and they told me to come in first thing in the morning next day. Next day I spent 12 hrs total in 3 different hospitals, my daughter had to be put under because she had a broken displaced bone. I am not blaming Tiger Ahns that my daughter got hurt. Everyone can get hurt anywhere anytime but I am very disappointed in the way they handle this situation. It was very poor and unprofessional. When I asked the master what if this happened to her daughter how she would feel about it and her response to me was that similar situation has happened to her daughter and she never recieved a phone call from that school. Both Masters were completely different after this situation. Oh I forgot to mention, when I asked to see the video recording, they told me that their cameras were not working therefore there is no recording. I can go on and on about how they have responded to this matter but I will end it here since it's already long. I wouldn't want to send my child here ever again and do not recommend here to anyone else. I just think it's common sense as a person/teacher whoever you are to call the child's parent if they are hurt to let the parent know. Replying to your comment: Why was I not given a call when my daughter got hurt? She was only 6 years old, what would she know? When I compared her two wrist that wrist was very swollen. Also there is only 5 mins between classes. She was early probably like 2 mins. It's funny that you keep mentioning that it happened during outside class time. Once a child enters your dojang, you should be caring about your student and stop mentioning it happened during outside class time which probably was like 2 mins before. You are the one who tells to get up and practice. You as a Master (there are two Masters) should have been more responsible and not made my daughter sit there for 45 mins holding her wrist. I have told this story many times to many other people who have asked what happened and they all reacted the same way. Please stop giving excuses.

As a (very) former practitioner of Taekwondo I'm so impressed with how this school is run and how great the instructors are with the students. Kids are engaged and they all seem to participate fully.

Can't say enough about how well this program is run.

However, Renshi Andrew at Alpha is a rare and special talent as an educator. He has boundless focus, patience and perseverance with all of the students. He is a big bear of a guy who captivates the kids, draws them out of their shells and keeps them in motion. At the same time, he never lets up on the message of control, discipline and respect. He has made all the difference for our son. Andrew and Michelle have built a warm community around the studio, which gives all of the students and families a familiar place to come, gather, watch and learn. If I was more selfish, I'd tell you to stay away so we could keep them to ourselves, but somehow I know there is enough to go around.
