The first thing you should be aware of is that Tactical Mixed Martial Arts is truly the type of…read moresmall family business that politicians just love to gush about. There's Tony, his wife Jennifer and their two kids, Jasmyn and Destiny, (OK, young adults) running the place and doing an excellent job at it! I started here about two years ago after wanting to get in better physical shape for Krav Maga lessons at another school, and business owners take note, I saw an advertisement at the Spring Hill Mall advertising Tactical MMA's 90-Day Kettle Bell challenge. Fans of Tim Ferriss already know about the impressive weight loss and muscle gain when just practicing with kettlebells, so I really didn't need any convincing, I signed up for the class and have slowly have been toning my body while gaining muscle mass. Tony, Jennifer, Jasmyn and yes, Destiny truly care to see their students perform to the best of their abilities. I've been training for ruck marches, a planned Goruck Tough in September and between starting a small security start-up and the extra workouts and rucks with 30-50lbs of weight I've added outside of working out at Tactical Mixed Martial Arts, there is never a negative word spoken, its an extremely friendly, positive training academy with life-affirming words to keep you working out, even if you find some of the workouts too much. Recently I've started taking their Cardio MMA class, which is three nights a week of a high-intensity circuit workout that I generally attend two and have added a weighted vest to add some variety to my workouts. Please don't let the name scare you, everyone attending kettlebells and the Cardio MMA classes are friendly, and like Tony and Jennifer, want to see you succeed with your physical fitness goals and have a good time doing it. The only complaint I have (Its a small one!) is the music sometimes gets a little repetitive, but they have been soliciting others for more music to add to the rotation. Definitely consider Tactical Mixed Martial Arts if you are looking to make a real change in your life when it comes to your workouts!

I've been at Curran for more than two years and can't speak highly enough of my experience. The…read moreenvironment is so supportive, no matter your goals. Everyone always goes out of their way to talk with new members and make them feel welcome, and over time I've developed several great friendships. Jeff, Chuck, and Justin go out of their way to make Muay Thai and BJJ as accessible as possible. It's a community-oriented, family-friendly environment. I see lots of parents come for kids' classes, then stick around to train themselves. As a woman and a beginner, I usually prefer training with other women, and no one has ever pressured me to work with someone I'm not comfortable with. There are almost always great women to train with, and as I've gotten more comfortable training with men, I've had great experiences with them, too. I live pretty far away, and the coaches are also very understanding that I can only come once or twice a week. Since some members are there almost every day to prep for competitions, even people who are more self-defense oriented (like me) have the opportunity to experience more intense sparring if they want it. If you've ever considered learning Muay Thai or BJJ, or just want to learn to defend yourself, Curran is a great place to do it, regardless of age. You can take it at your own pace and will feel encouraged, not pressured, to aim higher. The coaches care about ensuring you can protect yourself, so if you stick with the program, you'll know you're being prepared with solid techniques. If I ever leave the area, it'll be one of the places I miss most!

I have only been to this place once, but I wish I could go back and take weekly classes! Curran…read moreJi-Jitsu Academy is truly amazing. I did a trial day there once with a friend and got to sit in and try some hand-to-hand techniques. Chuck was the one running our session and he was so kind and understandin. I was very nervous to try and didn't know the first thing about martial arts, but he treated me with so much grace, and it's a very no pressure, supportive environment! I seriously recommend this place for beginner, intermediate and experienced people! This place is absolutely worth a try.

They are assisting him daily to keep up where my wife and I are unable to because we both have full time jobs. Our son didn't want to leave the house to go at first. And after 1 day, that is no longer an issue. The staff is friendly. They are following guidelines in terms of masks, taking our temps when we walk in. The tables are well separated. They clean. They do as much as they can during these difficult times to help the kids and the parents get thru the school weeks. The person Chely P. who decided to review the place that she has not attended based on "recommended" but not "mandated" rules is stupid. Giving a negative review of it is ridiculous because it doesn't meet her high standards. If you read the guidelines, it says they are not recommended. But it also says under certain circumstances it may be required. I call learning and educating to the fullest under these circumstances more than a required circumstance. Get off your high horse Chely and try to help businesses. If you don't agree, just don't review and don't give your money to them. But this place is working hard to help families during these difficult times.

These skills were developed thanks to Sensei O'Hara and the coaches who truly invest themselves in the training process. I also attend fitness classes here, and this place is the best for me. Our instructors are very professional and maintain a personal approach, even when we work in groups. The groups are not large and are very diverse in both gender and age. My husband says that I always return from classes happier and in a better mood. Personally, I feel much better physically and emotionally thanks to Focus Fitness. Do I recommend this place? Yes! Yes! A million times yes!

Boy was I very, VERY wrong. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and felt completely welcomed. We have been with Tiger Koo's for 6 weeks now and it has completely changed my son in such a positive way. His first class ignited an excitement of something more valuable than the current video game craze - I see his confidence growing and I love seeing him encouraging and cheering on other new members experiencing their first day. I tell you fellow parents I knew the moment after seeing his face after he broke his first board- he was so incredibly happy and the pride he was over come with- it is a parents dream for their kids! My son cannot wait to go to class and I light up to see him focus in ways that he hasn't before. The instructors are so patient and fun, the kids respect and enjoy the lessons . Even in bigger classes the children get one on one time and or break into smaller groups. Such a great program I decided to join with my son! We see and have dojos within minutes of our house and we cannot see ourself going anywhere else.

I have been very happy with our experience at Tiger Koo's. As a parent, I appreciate the individualized approach I see each student get during the class to work on the skills they need to advance. As a student, my son loves the fun activities they do and the encouragement he gets during class. Master Koo, Master Maya, and the rest of the instructors are fantastic and supportive. My son's goals have now changed from beyond achieving his black belt to someday joining their demo team. Very happy to have joined the Tiger Koo family!
