JEREMY GIEHL
Master T and his staff are amazing. We are extremely happy here with the wonderful life experience our son is learning and how confident he is becoming in himself. Tama has really changed my sons outlook and I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Tiffany Lewis
TAMA Martial Arts Academy is like a second home to me. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and if you can take the time to watch and listen, improvement comes quickly. With a variety of disciplines for people of all ages, it is definitely worth your time and money. Anyone who says differently most likely did not stick around long enough to find out. If you are motivated and willing to learn, this is the place for you.

Seth Longstreth
I have been training at TAMA since 2008 when I transferred up from the sister school in Middletown. Master T. has mentored me throughout my time at TAMA. I now have experience in many areas such as Kali, Muay Thai, bjj, karate, and tai chi. I tested and received my second degree black belt in kempo because of the training and discipline I experienced here. I highly recommend TAMA.

Cheryl Basil
Master Taningco and all of the instructors at TAMA have been very helpful on teaching and training my 12 year old son. My son has enjoyed his first experiences learning about karate and is very happy he joined the school. A great place for both kids and adults. TAMA offers a wide range of classes in many various disciplines of martial arts. Very family friendly and a place I recommend to all.
