At American Tiger Martial Arts Academy, we want to provide as much information about our programs as possible so potential students can make an informed decision on whether our school is the right fit. Please feel free to contact us directly with any other questions you may have.

1. What age can my child start martial arts?

• Our Kids beginner program starts at 4-years old. However, occasionally we accept 3-year-olds. This depends on the child’s ability to follow simple directions and their gross motor skills.

2. What kind of martial arts do you teach?

• We specialize in Tae Kwon Do (striking, kicking, and forms), Hapkido (self-defense, joint locks, and pressure points), and Kickboxing (effective fitness program designed specifically for adults). Our curriculum blends traditional techniques with practical self-defense techniques for real-world situations.

3. Can I/my child try class before enrolling?

• Yes! We offer a free trial so you or your child can experience everything our school has to offer firsthand.

4. What should I/my child wear to the first class?

• Wear comfortable clothing, such as a T-shirt and sweatpants. If you decide to become a member, we’ll provide details on our different uniforms and any necessary gear.

5. How much do classes cost?

• Pricing varies based on membership options and the specific program you enroll in. Contact us for specific rates and special promotions for new students.

6. Are martial arts safe?

• Absolutely! Safety is our top priority. Our classes are supervised by experienced instructors. Students learn in a controlled environment using proper instruction and protective equipment when necessary.

7. How often should I/my child attend classes?

• We recommend attending class at least 2-3 times per week for consistent progress. More frequent training can accelerate skill development, but we encourage students to balance training with rest and other activities. Ultimately, consistency is key.

8. Can I watch my child’s class?

• Yes! We welcome parents to observe classes and encourage family involvement. Watching your child train helps reinforce their learning and progress.

9. Do I need to be in shape to start martial arts?

• No, martial arts will help you get in shape! Classes are designed for all fitness levels, and students’ progress at their own pace.

10. Do you offer private lessons?

• Yes! We offer private one-on-one training for students who want to accelerate their progress, work on specific techniques, or gain extra practice before group classes. Contact us for scheduling and pricing.
