My son attended 3-tigers for 1 year and absolutely loved his time here!
He benefited from Master Tibbetts’ gentle yet firm approach.
My favorite time of the class was overhearing the topics discussed in the Mat Chats where Master Tibbetts gave real world examples of how to be kind, honest, respectful, etc. and gave the students the opportunity to discuss how they are also practicing these skills in their lives.
Master Tibbetts and his team are teaching more than just martial arts, but also how to be good humans! I highly recommend!
All I can say is what an amazing dojo! I have trusted Master T to build discipline, respect, and self-confidence with both of my boys. He has proved to be patient and understanding and can somehow balance that with real life consequences for the choices his students make. The crew has a truly graceful technique at helping these children mitigate the challenges of martial arts and life in general. We offer our most humble gratitude!
We are thrilled with our experience at 3-Tigers Martial Arts! Since our son joined last November, we've watched him develop impressive self-control, focus, and essential social skills with each class. Master Tibbetts consistently demonstrates patience, redirecting students with care, and instilling respect and appreciation for martial arts traditions. Being part of 3-Tigers has made us proud, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to others! ⭐️
