Tiger Rock Martial Arts Academy in West Knoxville Welcomes You. Since 1983, Tiger Rock has been the leader in martial arts, life skills, and self-defense training. Tiger Rock has taken the martial arts academy experience to a whole new level. Our programs focus on the components that increase fitness, artistic precision, and self-empowerment.
If you're like most parent's, you know the agony of telling your children to pick up their toys. 10 times in a row. It's painful for both you and your child. And if your child thinks it's difficult to follow directions now, what'll happen when they go to high school, college or get a job? The solution is right in front of you!
From the all day text messaging to being glued to various devices, teenagers clearly don't get enough exercise. The solution is actually quite simple! Martial Arts with a video game twist! We've taken what they see on the screen, and transformed it into real world use and revolutionized how they stay motivated, and get the physical activity they need!
Practicing martial arts helps you feel safe and confident in today's society and provides an excellent way to manage stress, get in shape and feel great. Martial Arts helps you live your best life by offering you valuable success and life skills such as confidence, discipline, and life balance. Having a hard time staying awake during the day?
Most parents struggle with the same concerns; what will my child be doing after school? Will they get their homework done or will they sit in front of a screen for hours. What about food? Will they eat a healthy snack or will they have junk food and soda?

What's so rewarding is knowing that your children are getting picked up from school and transported to a safe environment, where they will be surrounded be educators while being fed and taken care of.Whats even better is they get the opportunity to participate in martial arts classes that not only enhance physical attributes but equip them with valuable resources to thrive in school.

We love Tiger Rock! The instructors are very patient with the children. My kids are not only building strength and staying healthy, but they are gaining confidence. They are learning life skills and respect for others. I would recommend Tiger Rock to anyone looking to start their martial arts journey.

I clearly stated to take my card off the account and put Dads on it. I was assured it was off. Fast forward a couple months and payment came off my card. I don’t know if there was a problem with Dads account, but normally a phone call would have solved the problem. The kids that set in the back aren’t monitored properly either. My five year came home asking inappropriate questions.

My son has been doing taekwondo at this academy for 6 years. The academy owners and instructors have become such important mentors for him. He has gained amazing life skills and a great community through his time there. Their standards of performance are high but they also keep things fun and engaging. I have reffered many friends here and would recommend them to anyone wanting to try martial arts.

Wow, this was my sons first Kung Fu tournament and I have to say that I’m really proud of him and the staff are excellent! He’s only been doing this for about a month, yet he practices at home all the time, without any push from me! In this tournament there were kids who have been doing this since they were five years old and he went against kids… who are the same level and levels above him. I’ll be honest, I didn’t think he was going to get any medals, due to his lack of experience, and I was okay with that. Yet he persisted and got a bronze in “one step&rdquo

Tiger Rock has been such a great experience for my boys. We had started out at another academy, took a break due to expense, and then found Tiger Rock when we wanted to start back. Tiger Rock teachers character off the mat as well as on with community service and partners for learning. They also teach students the value of hard work and leadership.

My grand daughter took classes here
They have great sensis here, give the kids lots of personal attention
My only complaint is it's a little pricey, but now a days every thing is, if a business is going to survive
Maybe when we move to Tennessee, she can start again

Tiger Rock is a top notch academy where they teach all ages and skill levels. The instructors are very experienced not only with Taekwondo but teaching quality core values that help shape better people. They are very involved in the community and building character in young children to better prepare them for life. They offer a very diverse schedule, host holiday parties, after school care, yoga, and even fitness classes for adults. The academy is very large with quality equipment and flooring, and is located conveniently of I-40 near Cedar Bluff. I would highly recommened training at this academy

Tiger Rock martial arts is like a second home to me. I have been attending classes since I was 12 years old and I love it to this day. The instructors have only one goal in mind, to help you achieve your goals. I recommend attending or at least trying classes for anyone interested. The entire Tiger Rock community is just like family.

This place is an amazing place. The people here are amazing. As soon ad you open the door you feel like you are part of the family. Watching students grow and achieve their goals is just heartwarming. The other instructors are the best people you will meet and the owners are absolutely amazing at what they do.

We recently moved to Knoxville. My son had come from another school. I looked around at all the tae kwon do classes. This place was the most reasonable price for what you got. They were up front about all the cost involved. The instructors and everyone there are very friendly. Three out of 4 of my kids attend there and love it. I would recommend this place to anyone.
