Tiger Martial Arts

Tiger Martial Arts We develop Self-Control, build Confidence & help our students achieve in all areas of their lives 🥋 But with power comes responsibility!

Director’s Statement

Our company philosophy is simple: Be the best possible role model to your students, provide the highest quality martial arts tuition, and unabashedly - keep them coming back for more. I can clearly remember how significant my martial arts instructor was to me. From as early as age 8 he was a key figure in my life – one that I would always give 100% to impress. What I now und

erstand is that as Instructors, we’re in a great position to influence - I mean, we have something our students want (nunchaku, spinning kicks, super cool moves, etc!). Particularly with our younger students it’s our job to give all that we can give at this most crucial point in their lives, where they are most open to influence and change. That means myself and those around me have a duty to make our classes as enjoyable as possible (what they want), but with just as rich quality martial arts tuition, fitness and moral content (what they need). We personally feel we have a duty to provide our training and merchandise at below-market prices, so that those from all backgrounds can have the same rewards for hard work that we experienced as students. That is the very reason that myself and those that work alongside me will always do their best, give all they can and truly push our students to achieve everything they want to achieve both in the training hall and out. Yours in Tae Kwon-Do,

Instructor Nick

We believe that:

Martial arts can give children the confidence to achieve more. When a person learns to protect themselves, they learn to say “No” to negative social pressure. Each child is special, and learns in his or her own way. We have the freedom to adapt and tailor to each of our students special needs. Developing strong values in early years gives us a better future. Learning about focus, goal setting, perseverance, respect and self-control, we feel are the most important aspects of a child’s curriculum – as these are the core values that help us succeed in the future. Giving children the opportunity to earn a head-start in life is of paramount importance. There is no better time to improve yourself than in childhood. A fun environment is a strong learning environment. We understand that having fun while learning is the best way to keep a child interested in developing themselves for the long-term.

With IWD today & mother's day just round the corner, shout out to the strong women in our lives that have made this all possible. Though I don't like drawing attention to myself as I feel TMA is about the students, the parents, and the team that makes us, I'm reminded about how this organisation would not have even got off the ground without the support of the women in my life.

My mother, who took me back in when I needed to reduce my expenses to start TMA, but also, as a TA, supported me in classes & still supports our instructors. As a single mother, she put my needs first when I was young, and supported me by paying for & taking me to my martial arts training, even when I wasn't sure she could afford it - which is the reason we feel the moral duty to keep prices this low.

Kat always has been a crucial asset in the team, able to put the needs of customers first, support instructors & myself, whilst being an excellent single mother. She doesn't like drawing attention either so apologies, but her support and level-headed attitude in the face of challenges is one of the reasons we are here.

My sis, a talented graphic designer that created everything beautiful that you ses, from our logo, to hand-illustrated letters, photography, and even built our website from scratch.

We've had some incredible, talented and patient female martial artists and instructors join our ranks, who inspire those that want to be like them. We are fortunate to have a pretty even split of male to female students - 60/40; by pure chance our instructor composition also happens to be just that - 60/40. In a review, we found that wages happened to roughly equal across genders - by chance.

My wife, a high-flying accountant in her own right, we've been fortunate to have steering us in the right direction and giving us insight. A mention in this post is probably more attention than she would like!

Lastly, but most certainly not least, the mothers of the children we teach. You may have your reasons behind supporting your child in martial arts - like my mother did. Whatever your reason, thank you for your support - we couldn't do this without you.

- Instructor Nick

We did something wild. We started a charity - it's called Tiger DASH, which stands for Domestically Abused Single-parent Households, and these are the families we support.

For the next week, TMA socials will be run by Tiger DASH, bringing you details about the launch, why we're doing it, and what we're doing to fundraise (5 days and counting!).

The aim is to provide funding for extracurricular activities for children from low-income, single-parent households who may have experienced domestic abuse.

Follow on Instagram for even more details on fundraising efforts and link in bio on how to donate.

Before & After 🥋
Super proud of all of our black belts' performance in their recent gradings & pre-gradings. Though all of those that were awarded black belts performed well, this particular student stood out.

When the room was asked for volunteers for 2 on 1 sparring (yes, you read that right) with two quite tall chaps, Darcy was the first to volunteer. Such bravery! She held her own. It was a sight to see.

Courage and Indomitable Spirit on display this black belt grading, all that took part, regardless of the result, should be super proud of themselves. It's not easy putting yourself out there when you're not certain whether you will succeed or fail, but the willingness to do so is the biggest part of the battle.

This student has always taken part with a smile, has had her fair share of obstacles along the way, though persevered, and hard work paid off.

Kudos!
