Tiger Academy of Martial Arts

Tiger Academy is an outstanding school with a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. Sifu Eddie Camden is an exceptional instructor — deeply knowledgeable, calm, and genuinely invested in his students’ growth. Eddie, Kyle, Marty, and Joey are all fantastic instructors, bringing experience, patience, and great energy to every class. Marvin and the Camden family are amazing and keep the place running smoothly. The academy does a wonderful job with both adults and kids, creating a positive environment where families feel supported and encouraged. Great for self-defense, exercise, and meeting new friends. I highly recommend Tiger Academy for anyone looking to train seriously while being part of a great community.

I highly recommend Tiger Academy to both beginners and experienced jiu-jitsu practitioners. I began training there in 2019 at age 45 with no prior martial arts experience, seeking a unique challenge. The results exceeded my expectations: within 6-8 months, I lost 30 pounds through consistent training alone (my poor eating habits sadly unchanged). Training there leaves me feeling energized and as fit as I was in my 20s. Beyond physical benefits, Gracie jiu-jitsu at Tiger Academy has fostered significant personal growth, positively shaping resilience and self-awareness. Instructors prioritize technique and safety, offering practical injury-prevention instruction that goes along with the teaching. The culture emphasizes technique-driven training, mutual care and respect, and longevity on the mat. Above all, the staff and members form an exceptional, supportive community of outstanding individuals!

Really great place to learn jiu jitsu! In contrast to other schools, Tiger makes a deep dive into moves and positions with an emphasis on explaining how they work. The instructors make a point of taking you under the hood demonstrating concepts and fundamentals leading to fast advancement and progress.

Excellent academy, highly recommended My son has been attending this academy for his second year now, and I can confidently say it has been a great experience for our family. The instructors are professional, attentive, and truly care about the kids. They know how to keep children disciplined while still making training engaging and motivating. Over time, I’ve seen real progress not only in physical skills, but also in confidence, focus, and respect. The environment is safe, well-organized, and positive. Communication with parents has generally been clear, and the overall atmosphere shows that this place is built for long-term development, not just short-term results. I appreciate the work the team does and would definitely recommend this academy to other parents looking for quality training for their children.

Tiger Academy is a welcoming environment to anyone at any level who intends to train bjj for self defense. Eddie offers the highest level of bjj instruction reflected by multiple black belts on the mat at any given time. Also, Master Eddie has an extensive background reaching the highest levels of multiple styles of martial arts, combined with real-world experience and an impressive personal fight record. His Gracie academy reflects his experience offering a unique blend of bjj, stand up striking/sparring classes, and weapons defense/disarm techniques. There's always a "what if" for any bjj or fight situation, and Eddie has the correct answer to everything. He will teach different techniques and differentiate what situations you may or may not try them in to create realistic expectations...aka how likely is this to actually work with a big guy trying to smash you or boop your face in...with or without other weapons.... If you're looking to invest in yourself, then there is no better place to spend your next few years training. Whether you're a young buck in your prime, or 50+ looking to train- Tiger academy and its members will welcome you. You'll learn quickly knowing you have a top-tier curriculum with access to proven techniques from leaders you can trust (or dont trust them and get smashed until you learn to- I mean this in the best way possible).
