From the reviews
I highly recommend Tiger Rock Franklin with instructors Mr. and Mrs. Gann. My oldest son (8) began Tiger Rock last year. I have watched him progress from a white belt to second level green belt.
I cannot say enough good things about Tiger Rock Martial Arts of Franklin and what it has done not only for our son, but our family. We have been a part of this academy for 2 years now. Our son has tremendously excelled with the guidance of all the amazing instructors.
My son started Tiger Rock Taekwondo in Franklin back in October of 2020, just after turning 9. He had tried most of the traditional youth sports and wanted to do something different. He loves this and even competed in a competition. Mr. Gann has a great way of connecting with and communicating with the kids.
To have Mr. and Mrs. Gann involved in your life is such a blessing. My daughter has taken Martial Arts through Tiger Rock since she was 5. She is now 17 and is an instructor. I started taking about 4 years ago and Mr. Gann has been my instructor through most of it. I have trained with Mrs. Gann almost that entire time.
New to kickboxing? Start at Tiger Rock Martial Arts of Franklin
Tiger Rock Martial Arts of Franklin comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Tiger Rock Martial Arts of Franklin
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
