What Garden Grove Families Are Saying

    "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."
