“I put two of my kids in the little tigers' class, best decision. He is super great with kids, firm and kind. And they have an extra room full of toys my 2 year old enjoys very much.“

“I’m just starting back at Tarpein’s after a long hiatus. When I was a member before I felt like I was part of the family. It was great and I loved it. I don’t know why I stopped training, but I’m glad to be back. Coming back after so long, I was nervous and was honestly kind of worried how I would be treated, but that isn’t the case at all. I feel like I picked up right where I left off, definitely not in terms of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skill (that’s coming), but in friendship and camaraderie. I’ve looked at other local Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes in the area and this is by far the best in my opinion. I would highly recommend Tarpein’s!“

“My wife and I both started attending this dojo in December. We’d both never taken a martial arts class before and are total beginners. However, Sensei Johnson is such a personable and amazing instructor, my anxieties about being a beginner were quickly squashed by the confidence he instilled. It has truly sparked a passion in me for something I never thought I’d do and I can’t wait for learn more. I can’t recommend this school more!!“

“Mr. Mikki is an amazing instructor. He is always positive and he always has a life lesson for not only the students but parents can learn from them too. My kids have attended for almost 2 years and they love it. Could not ask for a better instructor. Thank you mr.mikki.“
