From the reviews
I absolutely can not say enough about this school! My children have been attending for 5 years now. This is our second school, and right from the beginning, I was thoroughly impressed. At the time, one had just turned 8, and the other was 10.
When we prayed about where to enroll the Chidoes (Brown's term of endearment for "children" pronounced "chee- does" like Cheetos with a "d"😉), we prayed for a place where the instructors' characters would also be a good influence on them.
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional experience my children, ages 5 and 7, have had at your academy. Tiger Rock has exceeded all of my expectations. Your instructors do an incredible job of developing motor skills, coordination, and self-discipline through engaging, game-based learning.
The entire staff and team are amazing! My son has been attending Tiger Rock for almost three years now and it is well worth the time and the money. The entire staff knows our name and are invested in my child and his growth and development.
New to kickboxing? Start at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Pensacola
Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Pensacola 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 Pensacola
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.
