King Tiger Martial Arts
About
King Tiger Martial Arts offers mixed martial arts and karate training with a focus on character development alongside physical skills. The gym provides instruction that emphasizes accountability, confidence, and practical self-defense techniques. Members appreciate the professional and kind instructors who create a welcoming environment where children feel confident and comfortable. The leadership program includes additional activities like tumbling, sparring, and forms training.
Reviews highlight significant positive transformations in young members, with parents noting improved confidence, focus, and discipline at home and school. While most members praise the quality of instruction and supportive atmosphere, some mention concerns about administrative systems. These include occasional scheduling inconsistencies, limited online presence beyond a Facebook page, and contract-related issues that some find challenging. The gym works well with children who need extra attention, though a few reviewers note this can sometimes affect class flow.
Families describe feeling part of a team and appreciate the one-on-one instruction when needed. The front desk staff receives consistent praise for being helpful. However, communication about schedule changes, makeup classes, and facility relocation has been noted as areas for improvement by some members. The gym maintains a strong community feel where children develop skills that last a lifetime.

We could not be more pleased with King Tiger. Our daughter has been attending for just over a year now. The changes we have seen in her have been amazing.Her confidence, focus and abilities have improved immensely. She is much more disciplined at home and school and we owe a good deal of this change to her time here. The instructors are very kind and professional. The front desk staff is always helpful. We highly recommend King Tiger Martial Arts in Chesapeake to anyone looking for their child to build confidence and incredible skills to last a lifetime.

My five year old daughter Kiley has been a member of the King Tiger Martial Arts (Ches.) family for almost one year now. The instructors are amazing and always make the children feel confident and comfortable. As a parent, I enjoy watching Kiley grow and become part of a team!!! Thank You to ALL the staff for making my family feel part of yours!! My daughter says: She loves Instructor E. She also loves all the kids she's with and the classes she gets for being involved in the leadership program (tumbling, sparing, forms, etc.) Plus, she likes learning all the self defenses (which are very practical too).

Great instructors that teach more than just the martial arts… they teach accountability, confidence and character (just to name a few!). They are also good about providing one-on-one instructing whenever it’s needed!

Instructors are cool but they don’t have any training geared towards kids. They can “handle” them but when dealing with children you can’t just “handle” them, you need to have the correct resources, words, and actions that fall in line with the child’s age. They work well with children that may need extra help, but it’s at the expense of the entire class. Class times dont usually start or finish on time but you do get your full 30 minute class. If you miss class they don’t follow up or really check up/check in with you. If you wanna do a makeup class you can but it’s all up to you. They’re not enforcing any of that really. The systems In place for payments, attendance, ect. Are a little outdated. The only online platform they have is a Facebook page but no website or other platform with information or updates. We’ve grown a lot but we won’t be staying another year. Hope this helps!

The fees were high, the contract terms were terrible, and I was charged continuously for two months while I was abroad. When I returned for make-up classes, the place had moved without prior notice. It used to be a 5-minute drive from my house, but now it's a 20-minute drive away. If I had known about the move when I signed the contract, I wouldn't have chosen this option. They won't make up for the missed classes if I don't renew the contract.
