From the reviews
We've had our daughter at TR for 2.5 years, since she turned 4 and could start in the Cubs class. We'll start our son in the fall when he is old enough! It has been a great outlet for her personality and temperament, and has helped shaped great character qualities in her, like self-control, patience, good attitude,…
I highly recommended Tiger Rock Martial Arts for any boy or girl ages 4+. My son started Tiger Rock in June of 2016 at the age of 7; just as a summer activity...Here we are over 1.5 yr later, he is almost 9 and is very involved and loves it.
I wish there was a way to choose 10 stars instead of 5. This program and the instructors are one of the best things that's ever happened to my kids. It's the kind of thing that not only conditions the body, it transforms the mind also. The life lessons, confidence, and discipline they've gained are incredible.
My grandson has been taking Taekwondo from Tiger-Rock since April of 2019. In the last two years he has grown in his self confidence and loves going to class. All of the instructors are wonderful.
New to taekwondo? Start at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Brandon
Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Brandon comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Brandon
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors 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 stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
