• Tiny Tigers - 4 to 6 years old

  Our Tiny Tigers program contains a detailed curriculum designed specifically for children ages 4-6 years old. It is designed to give these children an introduction to the martial arts but also work on their basic listening & motor skills. These skills will help them enter society with a more confident & enthusiastic approach.
  

• Junior Karate - 7 to 13 years old

  Our Junior Karate Program is for children ages 7 to 13 and is broken down into two seperate classes.  One for beginners and one for the more advanced belt levels. Both classes are designed to help your child build motor skills, increase concentration, and develop the self confidence they will need to succeed in this ever changing world. All children's classes are specifically designed to improve children's endurance and concentration levels. These skills will help them perform better in school as well as prepare them for the future. 

• Adult Karate - 14 years old and up

  Our adult programs are designed to challenge all levels of fitness without feeling overwhelming. When you begin your training, your age, gender, or current physical condition REALLY doesn’t matter. Everyone begins with the basics and then naturally moves toward more advanced techniques.

  We currently have teenagers, teachers, single moms and dads, and grandmothers and grandfathers in our adult classes.

  Everyone works at their own pace and training in Martial Arts is anything but boring. It's a high energy, fat burning, stress reducing, and super charged workout. Lose weight, get in shape, increase flexibility, improve muscle tone & cardiovascular endurance, and relieve stress while learning self-defense. This is only the start.

• Tang Soo Do

  Tang Soo Do is the core martial art taught at BTMA.  Many famous martial artists are Tang Soo Do Stylists. One of the most famous being Chuck Norris.

  The literal translation of Tang Soo Do is “way of the China hand” which acknowledges the Chinese roots of this Korean system.

  There are also many Japanese influences on the art such as Shotokan karate.

  At Blue Tiger Martial Arts we practice a modern version of this art which keeps its rich traditions and codes but adds influences of other arts such as Isshinryu, Taekwondo, and Shotokan.

  The curriculum that we teach is arranged in a logical layered method which ensures the success of every student young and old alike. 

• Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

  Our grappling program is a combination of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Gracie Combatives, and wrestling.

   

  Techniques in grappling are divided into several different categories, takedowns, arm locks, leg locks, chokes, and break falls.

  Grappling techniques are not easy to learn. Learning the basics will normally take at least a year of training. Unlike other styles of martial arts, which normally require about 3 - 4 years of study to earn a black belt, earning a black belt in BJJ usually requires 7-10 years of training. It is an intense sport that requires a good deal of commitment. However, ask anyone who has gotten their BJJ Black Belt and they’ll tell you its well worth the effort, and the wait!
