What People Are Saying

I am now more physically fit, outgoing, and overall, a much better person than I was before TAMA. It's like a second home, a second family even, everyone is so close with everyone else. It has opened may more paths for my future goals, and given me more to do in my life.
Getting my black belt was a life changing moment for me, and now I have much more to accomplish in the martial arts. Most people think martial arts is about the belts. TAMA taught me that it is about honor, respect, and responsibility.
Wesley A. Calton

I was interested in Martial Arts for many years before coming to TAMA. I tried out several schools in the course of moving around the country. When I moved to the Dayton area a couple of years ago, I decided that I would buckle down and get serious about studying Martial Arts. Knowing what I had in mind, I set out to look for the best school in the Dayton area. Once I found TAMA I knew that I had found the place that I was looking for.

I was able to train in the Internal Martial Arts, such as Tai Chi, and also in Traditional Northern Chinese Kung-fu. Additionally, my former training in Bruce Lee's "Jeet Kune Do" concepts were complimented by the deep well of knowledge that Master Taningco provides for cross training students; in arts such as Kali, Muay Thai as well as Juijitsu and Dumog grappling.

Since the first day that I set foot in TAMA I have been there almost every day that the school has been open (often twice a day). You couldn't drag me away from here.
