From the reviews
My daughter always wanted to learn karate. We tried another school before Art Monroe’s Tiger Rock but it wasn’t a good fit. Some friends told us how great Tiger Rock was, and we gave it a chance. That was four years ago. Our experience at Tiger Rock has far exceeded expectations.
Love This School! Mr. Monroe's Legend Continues On Throughout All Of The Instructors And Students Alike. The Respect And Excellent Teaching That Has Been Shown To My Children Throughout The Years Is A Fabulous Example Of Just How Incredible This Place Is. Best Academy On The North Shore. That's For Sure!
I have been a student at this school since 2006. It has been a great place to train as well as a second family. My son has also been training at the same location for years and just obtained his black belt. I highly recommend the school or any Tiger Rock location in the area.
Tiger Rock of Mandeville is amazing! I love the family feel and welcoming environment whether you’re a beginner or advanced student. 10/10!
New to taekwondo? Start at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Mandeville
Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Mandeville 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 Mandeville
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.
