From the reviews
We love Tiger Rock and the Crutchfields. My family has been going for about 4 years now. All three of my kids and myself. In tiger cubs they work on respect, focus, balance and coordination to name a few. Then as they go up the ranks they work hard and test.
The atmosphere is absolutely perfect for me and my daughters to learn martial arts! Respect, focus, determination and indomitable spirit flow out of each of the instructors. I've learned so much in a short time and I know my growth and my daughters growth will continue.
Crutchfield's has been a great experience for my youngest. He has learned much about Martial Arts, and more importantly about pushing himself. The lessons learned here are more than punch and kick, they learn respect, patience, and above all how to improve themselves.
My son loves it! The best is that my son is learning self control and discipline. He has only been attending for 4 months but the change in attitude is quite noticeable. The only critique would be to have the instructor actually teach. The kids are taught by other higher ranking / higher up in belt ranks.
New to taekwondo? Start at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Prattville
Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Prattville 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 Prattville
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.
