Martial Arts Schools in Pensacola

“So we tried another martial arts place before and I didn’t care for the “participation belt promotion” or the calendar that tells you the advance belt days (which literally everyone gets next belt advance) I didn’t agree with that or that my son thought he could look at a schedule and know when he would get next color belt. Ron Little is drastically different and not only does he have to work for his advancement in belts he is learning real life skills and how to apply them! After a while my husband joined in to have a special time with just the two of them doing something together. If you are searching for something legit this is the real deal, if you are looking for a cookie cutter, everyone gets a participation trophy and not requiring discipline, hard work and actually learning and how to apply skills just type in other martial art classes and you can find one that perhaps does not require or have a standard. I, knowing what I know now, wish we would have found Ron Little way long ago. Not only has it been great for father/son bonding but given my son confidence and knowledge and skills to carry into his life outside of class. Thank you Ron and your hardworking instructors for your dedication to keeping it real and not letting dollar signs distort your class! I recommend this to anyone and they have younger kiddos class and adult/older kiddos class which they will guide you where to start or do both!“

“The Dufours are amazing people with tons of patience and passion for what they do. More than instructors, they become trusted friends and family.“

“Best BJJ in the area, especially for kids. Teachers do an excellent jobs with kids all ages.“

“I absolutely can not say enough about this school! My children have been attending for 5 years now. This is our second school, and right from the beginning, I was thoroughly impressed. At the time, one had just turned 8, and the other was 10. I loved the positive, constructive environment that echoed the same things we taught at home. Respect, positive attitude, growth, clean living, and earning your way.Fast forward to incoming sophomore in high school and incoming 8th grader, my kids are entrenched in it more than ever. Their heroes are the ones who not just talk about the right things to do but demonstrate these principles every day. I have no doubt a huge part of my children's success in every area of their lives. Then, of course, there is the actual physical conditioning and skills taught.If you're an adult looking to join, it's humbling at first, BUT you are treated with the highest respect in a completely empowering and positive environment. Increased flexibilty and stregth you did not know you lost..... try it, you might just surprise yourself!Lastly, there are plenty of opportunities for a student to learn and plenty of opportunities for the student to compete on both local and national levels.I don't just recommend Tiger Rock, I highly encourage you to try it!~Jessica Freeland“

“Great place to learn martial arts and life skills. Grand master Colbert always comes with the best attitude when teaching class. Learning all these self defense techniques for the last couple of years has been fantastic. Besides this, our school does very well in tournaments. This is due to grand master Colbert keen eye on the technique and training.“

“David Fernandes is an excellent jiu-jitsu instructor. His technique is of the highest caliber, as his character. He has a true desire to see all of his students grow on and off the mats. I cannot recommend 9th Jiu-Jitsu enough.“
