Tonia Bell
“I Have been a long time student and wouldn’t trade the experience for the world. It has made me the person I am today. It has something for everyone from just in shape to becoming a professional fighter. With master T. being in the black belt hall of fame you get some of the best training around and i have checked out many different schools. It’s not just a place to train but the staff and fellow students becomes a second family. One of the best parts about TAMA is the variety of arts available offered.”
Aaron Melinich
“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.”
Chad Soehner
“I have known Master T for over six years, and collaboratively developed a program where students from the Dayton Regional STEM school (across the street) participated in two week programs to introduce them to the martial arts. They especially loved the Muay Thai, karate, and bjj. Master T is highly trained, an excellent and fun teacher, and makes learning discipline enjoyable. I have also seen and met many of the adults training at TAMA, and they love the freedom of using the space, Master T’s guidance and wisdom, and more. Great space, place, and programs.”

“Great family place to practice! Very clean and good to see such strict adherence to the state’s regulations to cleaning / disinfection procedures. Recommended highly.”
Dana Staup
“During my over 30-years of knowing Master T, he has maintained a consistency of discipline in himself and in his adult students in various arts taught including Muay Thai, BJJ, karate, and the Filipino martial arts. Many of his students move on to become excellent martial arts instructors, great fighters in the ring, and even healthier citizens. Master T is also a lifelong student who always seeks ways to improve himself, thus gaining more tools to uplift his students. He has my undying support!”

Grand Master Taningco is and has always been a great inspiration to all he has come in contact with.

“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
“The family feel is great: clearer information about programs and instructors, or simpler modern payment options would make it even better. That said, we saw our son’s coordination improve greatly, making it a great experience overall.”
Shelley Molitor
“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
“Ive been going to this Dojo for about 2 weeks and so far it has helped me mentally , & spiritually more than i anticipated. Although my first week was brutal i immediately switched to a healthier eating habit (plant based) to sustain more power& energy and I’ve been blowing through the drills highly recommended for small children, and adults.
Master T is really patient , truly a master of the arts of fighting”
Kourt Lawn
“With the guidance of master T I had a wonderful mauy thai experience. The classes are all encompassing teaching technique, conditioning, and discipline. This school is worth it in every way and I recommend it for anyone trying to begin their martial arts journey!”
Dante Lemar
“Master T helped me prepare for an amateur Muay Thai fight using traditional techniques he’s perfected. Dayton is lucky to have a highly respected Grand Master and literal champion as a resource. Our kids have also engaged in competitive amateur bouts via TAMA. There is something for everyone at this dojo regardless of age or experience level.”

“Master Taningco is a really talented martial artist and teacher. He uses a very organized curriculum that makes it easy to understand how to move forward. There are numerous styles to choose from. I usually practice karate but in the past I had a lot of fun training with individuals like Christian Toleque in kick boxing and mixed martial arts. Great place to learn and grow!”
