ABOUT US

For over 25 years, American Tiger Martial Arts has been helping students in Westminster and surrounding communities build confidence, discipline, and real self-defense skills through the art of Kyin Kung Fu.


We’ve created an environment that is both structured and welcoming, where students are challenged, supported, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. Many of our students come to us feeling shy, unsure, or lacking confidence, and over time, we watch them transform into strong, capable individuals who believe in themselves.


Our focus goes far beyond physical training. We help students develop focus, respect, resilience, and a positive mindset that carries into school, work, and everyday life.


We are proud to offer:

  • No contracts or registration fees
  • A friendly, experienced team of instructors
  • A supportive, inclusive community for all ages and backgrounds


Whether you’re a parent looking for a positive outlet for your child, or an adult ready to challenge yourself in a new way, you’ll find a place here.


Most of our students come from Westminster, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Garden Grove, Long Beach, and nearby areas, and we’re proud to be a part of this community.

    "My nephew had a hard time wanting to start the process.... But they worked with him.... Took the extra time to talk to him and relate. They are great at encouraging and cheering on everyone. I also like that the class has varying ages. It's a very welcoming place."

    "My daughter started here over 6 years ago. It helped her not only learn to protect herself, but as a bonus it also helped her become a better student at school. Master Hawley is seriously the best. Very in tune with kids needs, and has a great insightful way to approach them in a manner that encourages them to grow as a martial artist. The adult classes are also great to either work towards belts as well as just working on general fitness. It’s also so helpful to teach you self defense moves. Our family loves American Tiger Martial arts."

    "Amazing school, amazing community, and the teachers are world class. As someone who trained people for a living in the military, the level of care, empathy, and discipline that the staff gives to each student is truly remarkable. Very happy this small business is still around and I cannot recommend a better place for anyone who is looking for a positive change in their life."
