Tiger’s Kung Fu is amazing! The owners are professional and experienced. As a teacher, I can tell that they work well with children, know how to manage the class but are patient. They are very accommodating as well. They even offer online lessons during the week! With COVID going on they make sure that students are distanced and wear masks. I was worried at first but they really do follow regulations! I enjoy my kiddo being in this class and recommend this class to everyone!

This is hands down the best place to go to if you are looking to get a good workout in! I’ve never felt more confident then I do when I’m working out at Tigers Kung Fu! I’ve been going to the kickboxing classes for quite some time now, and I absolutely love it! Definitely a place I would recommend!!

My children love it, it is a totally different experience for them since we only usually do baseball and basketball, we wanted to try something different and I do not regret the decision! I like that they always have a topic to talk about important topics for great lessons.

We had our 2 sons ages 3 and 5 in the Tiger Kung Fu kids class and Sifu Michael & Sijae Angel were wonderful with them! The class was good for them to develop confidence (especially for our 5-year old) and discipline (especially for our 3-year-old, hard to do), and have fun! We had to take a break from classes due to our schedules but have kept up with the school and hope to get the kids back into classes soon. Michael and Angel are patient, professional, and inclusive, and you can tell they enjoy and are committed to working with their students. I would highly recommend!

We LOVE Tigers Kung Fu. Our son has been going since November, 2020. Michael and Angel have done everything possible to make classes work, even when things were shut down in December. They offered live Zoom classes and recorded classes so my son could still practice at home. Their communication is EXCELLENT and its obvious they love what they do and are trying as hard as possible to ensure that the kids can continue lessons through COVID times. Classes are distanced and students (and parents) wear masks. We are very COVID cautious and we feel very comfortable attending these classes. My son (5 years old) LOVES the classes and the teachers. Im so glad we found them! We would recommend them to anyone!

I would definitely recommend Tigers Kung Fu Academy. Sifu Michael and Sijae Angel are great at working with kids of all different skill levels.Their classes are fun and challenging. They also teach students important lessons on self-control, conflict resolution, and self-esteem.Rates are very reasonable and they offer many different class times throughout the week.

Siri Michael and Sijae Angel are so patient with the kids!! Not only do they teach them the art of Kung Fu, they teach them values like honesty, communication and respect. We love going and look forward to returning soon.Dawn MeyersChild Rebel

I have been taking Tiger Kung Fus cardio kickboxing classes pretty consistently for about two years. I love them! Michael brings nonstop energy to every class, and it is easy to learn the exercises. I am grateful that they offer virtual classes so I can do them at home. Their cardio kickboxing workouts have been a great way for me to get an adrenaline boost and get moving!

Our son has taken classes with Little Tigers for over a year now and we couldnt be happier. They really do love their students and take time to show each child individually how to properly perform the moves.

Brought my child here for only a few lessons to see if she liked it. Sifu Michael & Sijae Angel were always very professional and it is obvious they care about their students. I would recommend their classes to any parent who wants their children to try out martial arts. My daughter ultimately decided it wasnt for her.

This place is a gem! We are so lucky to have found Sifu Michael and Sijae Angel. They engaged our reluctant six-year-old son from the moment we arrived and now he looks forward to Saturday morning Kung Fu! Every session includes a lesson on using the skills learned in appropriate environments, fun activities to engage the children and a moment of meditation at the end. Highly encourage you to give it a try!

We absolutely love Tigers Kung Fu Academy! I have a young daughter and son (ages 4 and 5) and we had tried out many martial arts schools in the area and can honestly say that Tigers Kung Fu is the best one. Our kids have now been with the school for over a year and still get just as excited about every class.As a parent, I really appreciate everything that Sifu Michael and Angel have taught our kids. They have become much more confident and disciplined because of their classes and the kids have a lot of fun in each class. The kids have been much better behaved and school and at home since.I would highly recommend Tigers Kung Fu Academy to any parent who is looking for great martial arts lessons.

Michael and Angel couldn’t be more welcoming. Always have great attitudes and make the class not only challenging, but fun at the same time. This is a great workout and you’ll definitely leave feeling the burn.

I absolutely LOVE taking Cardio Kickboxing with Michael and Angel. The class atmosphere is fun and positive, and both instructors radiate positive energy. Even if youve never done anything like this before, it is easy to get into and enjoy; not to mention that even if you only go once per week, you will notice results. I had taken martial arts as a kid and was looking to get back into something with a little less structure/pressure - their Cardio Kickboxing class fits the bill perfectly! I would highly recommend!

I love this program ... the influence and the involvement of Mr. Mike and Mrs. Angel are incredible. They are positive and encouraging. Whether it’s exercise, confidence or burning energy .... this can cover all areas of needs and the kids have fun doing their exercises. They also address things that go on each and everyday covering the fact that self control is key, respecting yourself and others, and hard work pays off only when and if you do your best. Great for boys and girls .... and as a parent I enjoy watching the kids intensity. Makes me proud and giggle/smile. My children LOVE themAnd for the wonderful defense of mike and angel .... the one and only negative reveiw, that comment or is negative with every review that has been left ...... so I would say the constant five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ show how great they really are and NEVER try to get over on anyone

Michael is truely a gifted teacher and is extremely patient with the younger students. You can tell that he and his wife genuinely love what they do and are making a huge difference in young people’s lives. I would encourage anyone who wants quality martial arts instruction for adults or children to go to Tigers Kung Fu. They have the best prices in town for extremely good one on one and group instruction. I just got back from military deployment and my son can’t wait to return to class!

I have been attending kickboxing at least 1x weekly over the past year at Tigers Kung Fu academy and I love it. I can say that this is the only thing that has kept me working out consistently over the past year. Michael keeps the workouts varied and upbeat, pumping music and encouragement the whole time. We pair up to practice punches and kick sets and other strictly-kickboxing routines, then for the last 15 minutes do some strength training on specific muscle groups before a quick stretch/cool down. Love the environment and gets you moving while burning buttloads of calories. Love it!

There are great martial artist everywhere, but many of them cannot teach. At Tigers Kung Fu Academy you have an AMAZING martial artist, head instructor and all around a great person, he teaches with passion and a smile. The Academy itself is top notch, clean very open and family friendly. If you try one class you will know what Im talking about.

I have nothing but great things to say about Tigers Kung Fu Academy! The values that my son is learning are priceless and the patience exhibited by everyone who works there is amazing. Sifu works diligently with each student at their own pace and he incorporates lessons in a fun, controlled way. Anyone interested in joining Tigers can feel confident that they are making a good decision.

A great school with a great teacher and hard working students. Sifu Tiger really understands his students and treats them all with love and respect. Through his experience and knowledge all of his students continue to grow physically and mentally. Kids classes are a perfect balance of discipline and fun, leaving parents and students very satisfied. Highly recommend Tigers Kung Fu Academy to all!

I struggled to find a martial arts class that would accommodate the age range of my son (3.5 years). Tigers Kung Fu Academy is one of the only schools in the area who offers a class for this age range. With that being said, I was EXTREMELY worried how my 3 year old would handle this type of class, but he absolutely loves it!Sifu Michael Tiger has an excellent teaching ethic--he makes the classes fun for the younger children, but is also able to command a respect that I never would have expected to see in my child.Enrolling my son in Tigers Kung Fu Academy is one of the best decisions that I have ever made for him. Ive been hoping to find a way to rate the Academy, and Google seems to be the best option. I would recommend anyone to at least try one free class to see if their child would like it.

I am a retired middle school teacher of 35 years and I am so impressed by the teachers at Tiger’s Kung Fu Academy. Sifu Michael is patient, kind and understanding with the kids he teaches. He is fun and engaging during class, is stern with the children when needed and achieves great results in the kids’ improvement. I especially enjoy how he teaches the kids about life lessons he has learned to help the children understand some of life’s difficulties they will encounter.My 6 year old grandson has been attending class at Tiger’s Kung Fu for the last 6 months. He was very shy about coming to class, but was greeted with such warmth, that he jumped into class within minutes and has been enthusiastic about class ever since. I’ve witnessed a huge boost in confidence in my grandson that I feel is priceless for his growth. He now possesses that confidence wherever he goes and is making more friends at school.Bringing my grandson to Tiger’s Kung Fu Academy has been a life changing experience for my grandson and I can only hope more parents and grandparents bring their children to learn martial arts here.

Ive been attending Michaels kickboxing class for about 4 months now. I was very intimidated before my first class but everyone was so nice and welcoming and I ended up having a blast! Michael makes a point to remember everyones name which is impressive! Definitely recommend if you are looking to release stress and get some exercise in the process!

I did the cardio kickboxing classes over the summer and absolutely LOVED IT!! The instructor is very enthusiastic and super easy to follow. I was very nervous to join at first, but it was amazing and very non-intimidating! I lost a total of eight pounds in just one month 😁 Definitely recommend

I attend the class 3+ days per week and I love it! Have been going for 2 years now and I dont think I can ever get tired of it. Sifu Michael keeps the drills and music new and fresh to prevent getting use to stuff and prevent boredom.

Tigers Kung Fu academy has been a fantastic experience for my daughter. It has taught her fantastic discipline and very practical life skills. She continues to improve at each class. Sifu Michael is a Class Act and I would recommend his academy to any parent.

Review №35

My daughter trains at the Academy. Sifu Michael is very good at teaching, especially young kids. He teaches them much more than Kung-fu. He stresses respect to others, to listen and the importance of discipline (which are characteristics sadly vanishing among our youth today). He not only focuses on the physical aspects of self-defense, but the why as well as when to use it appropriately. He uses realistic empowering scenario based training as well as an appropriate mix of traditional skill building drills to teach. He also has them sit in silent meditation in each class to reflect on the lessons taught. Plus, the kids all have FUN!

I did kickboxing in NYC, and when I came back to the area I was looking for a similar class. It is better than any other class I took. I have been going at least 1x a week for almost a year and every class is new and fun. I can feel myself getting stronger.

My 5-year-old son has been taking classes here for a few months. He is always eager to attend class and excited to share with us what he has learned. Sifu Michael is wonderful with the kids; hes kind but tough when he needs to be. Its obvious that his students respect him!

Sifu Michael Tiger excels at what he does.....teaching, and not just teaching Kung Fu. He teaches respect, patience and discipline. He is amazing with children and helps them to unleash their inner Awesomeness! My daughter has progressed by leaps and bounds with the kind, firm hand of Sifu Tiger. He makes learning fun, to the point that the kids arent even aware at how much theyre learning! Definitely and amazing Martial Arts School!!!!

I tried Tiger’s Kung Fu with a Groupon purchase, it’s close home and I was trying to get some extra cardio in before a trip out of the country. Mike and Angel are awesome! I had no idea what to expect but they both did then and still do now make me feel extremely comfortable during class. I love the class, it’s an awesome cardio workout!

Review №46

You get what you pay for. Tigers kung fu academy is more like a babysitter than an actual kung fu place. There are no uniforms like every other kung fu place. Kids arent pushed to do their best, its a lot of scattered chaos, and the kid to instructor ratio is ridiculous (he misses a lot.) When belt testing the kids dont even have to come close to what theyre supposed to do and they still get a new belt. If youre looking for actual kung fu training for your child this is NOT the place. Also if you ever try to leave he will rip you off. I told him 2 days after the $50 was taken out of our account that with our summer schedule we wouldnt be able to do it anymore (plus my kid got bored of it) and asked for a possible refund. He said no, which is semi-understandable even though he could have just written a check to reimburse us. Not only did he say no however, he then informed me that he wouldnt stop the payment for July either. Needless to say I went to my bank and disputed the charge and got my money back and proceeded with a (free) stop payment for the company. At least my bank knows how to treat their customers. If youre looking for REAL kung fu training for you or your child I found Tiger Rock is a good place and again you get what you pay for.

My 4 year old has been training for the past 6 months now and hes always excited & enthusiastic about his kung fu class. He absolutely loves it there. Sifu Michael Tiger is excellent with kids and teaches them not only kung fu & discipline but also compassion & consideration for others. Whatever he says has a big impact on my son. Would recommend this academy to everyone!

As a practitioner of martial arts I found Choy Lay Fut to be challenging and exciting! As a former student of Sifu Michael Tiger, I was impressed with his dedication to kung fu and his ability to bond with his students. His patients and caring allowed me to have more confidence in myself and my ability to learn. Sifu Michael Tiger challenges you while having fun at the same time. I wish Tigers Kung Fu Academy the best of luck!
