Martial Arts

Had our first visit yesterday and what an amazing group of folks. I know my daughter will be so accepted here, and I feel they are going to work hard getting her self esteem raised.

My sons love working with master Thomas, he's very patient and hands on with the little ones! Lots of fun all while learning!!! I would recommend Ultimate Martial Arts Academy to anyone!

I have been training at Tiger's Den for a little over 2 years, and I am still excited to come to class every time. The Jukoshin Ryu Jiu-Jitsu syllabus is brilliant. It's a straight to the point, no non-sense self defense that gives you a variety of techniques to deal with attackers in a variety of situations (headlocks, hair grabs, chokes, etc...), while also leaving room for techniques to be applied at different intensities depending on who is attacking you (be it a friend who is acting up, or someone out to seriously hurt you). On top of this extremely useful syllabus, Sensei Jamie Rickard has also devised a exception grappling based system, CGA (Combined Grappling Arts), which revolves around both self-defense and sport grappling. I am always really excited to learn new escapes, locks, and chokes, as it still amazes me the vastness of the techniques that can be applied. We actually grapple quite a bit to ensure we are able to apply these techniques in 'live' situations. This is one of my favorite parts, as it is extremely challenging both mentally and physically. Sensei Jamie Rickard is an incredible instructor. He is humble, extremely talented, and eager to share what he has learned and created in order to help you reach your full potential. I also really appreciate the learning environment in which we all work. Fellow students are mature, respectful, and extremely helpful in working together through the various syllabuses. We all have a lot of fun training together, and it really makes the whole experience more enjoyable. I have tried a variety of other places and styles of martial arts, and I can say without a doubt that these are the best styles and this is the best place I have ever trained at. If this sounds like a place you could see yourself training at, you should come by and take the free 3 classes, you won't be disappointed!

Best place to train. Amazing instructors and students.

Amazing

Amazing reality based self defense. Learned more in 1 hour then I learned in 6 months at another location! Would recommend this place to everyone. If you are looking for true self defense and combatives this place will not disappoint. My wife even did 2 hours of women's self defense and loved it!

My son has gone here for about a year and enjoys it very much. Sensei Bill is excellent with the kids.

Great well rounded place for adults and for families. I highly recommend it.
