King Tiger Martial Arts

Excellent instructors who are dedicated to helping everyone achieve success. Regularly scheduled family events and fun for kids and adults of all ages. The owner is not out to set a money trap another reviewer suggests, as consumers we all have options to purchase merchandise elsewhere.
Master Cielo routinely volunteers his time to our local public schools. Unbeknownst to many he also offered free classes to a group of high risk youth for more than 2 years; many of these teens were on probation or had been locked up. I watched each of them give him their hard earned respect and they positively responded to his mentoring. They looked forward to each class and for its duration I watched them transform into unbroken teenagers who once again felt good about themselves and believed they could accomplish anything.
The bad reviews found here read more like personal vendettas instead of honest reviews. This is no place for slandering someone or attacking their character.

This place is horrible. It is a money trap. They tell you a flat fee per month and do not tell you that you will be spending double that money on stuff you can not use anywhere else. They tell you last minute about everything. Everything they do is only for money and popularity through advertising their name! You have to buy a lot of stuff with their name on it and it is worthless. Whatever you do… don’t get trapped in a contract with these people!

Instructor Perida (2 classes)
Master Cielo (1 class)
Seriously intense. Great exercise. Strength building. Focus. Learn self defense moves. Camaraderie with fellow classmates. Respect is always shown for instructor, self and peers.
The children’s class was before my class each day and I really see what a great impact this can have in a young child’s or teen’s life (respect, strength, discipline, self-​confidence, character, follow-​through).
Instructor Perida was very patient with me. On my part, I tried everything that I was instructed to do, never having the «I can’t» attitude.
I really had the most wonderful time here. I’m not particularly athletic and hadn’t been engaging in any workout-​type activities in the weeks prior to taking the class so I definitely did not feel physically ready for this challenge. The first class I took was on a Thursday which turned out to be an intermediate class (oops). We were dripping sweat onto the mat half-​way through every class. What I really appreciated is that during certain portions of the class when they were doing advanced moves Instructor Perida would instruct myself and the other newbie to repeat one of the earlier moves, or do the simpler kick rather than the combination kicks.
The class consist of the warm-​up to get your blood flowing and get your muscles and joints loosened up, the workout/​instruction period, and the cool-​down.
After these classes I felt stronger, more confident and capable in my abilities like I could take on other challenges. And I am grateful to have learned a few great self-​defense maneuvers.
A few weeks after my last lesson I had the privilege of seeing the students and instructors of King Tiger Martial Arts do a skills demonstration synchronized to music at a festival. It was a wondrous spectacle. It was such showmanship. A splash of punches and lunges and kicks and flips and faux fighting with sticks. I was in such awe of their precision, their movements in unison they were so in sync. Power and determination behind each deliberate motion it was indeed a great performance.
Master Cielo has 20+ years experience.

This place is a joke, kids might have fun and break boards, even maybe learn some basics. However I trained here for over a year, when I went to the lead instructor’s former teacher, the Former teacher said this guy was no good, a bad student with no black belt, and only after money and popularity. I found this to be true too. I left the school for a real teacher, but not until I found out the instructor was sleeping with the secretary, while married. I would rather throw my money in a fire than give it to this chump. For years I have continued training in various styles and I have toured many schools this is a MCDojang if I ever saw one.
