Martial Arts Lessons in Kettering - TAMA Martial Arts

Master Taningco's program is the best I have experienced. He offers many training programs suited for people of all ages from children to adults. Brazilian Jiujitsu, Muay Thai, Karate, Kung Fu, Akido, Tai Chi and my personal favorite Pilipino martial arts consisting of Arnis deMano and Kali weapon arts. Not only does Master T teach us street ready martial arts, but instills deep discipline that has enabled me to press on even in the most difficult of situations. I highly suggest anyone looking to study a martial art check out TAMA Martials Arts Center!!!!

Master T is a professional. He taught my teenage sons a mix of Muay Thai, Karate and Kick Boxing. They were trained in a very disciplined manner and grew into fine adults who are strong, brave and confident. My family highly recommends Tama Family Martial Arts.Brian Bowman

Master T is an awesome teacher! I've been going here for almost three years for Muay Thai and BJJ and represented TAMA at BJJ tournements. The training here is unparalleled. You have many options and can try different disciplines with different intensities, from Muay Thai kickboxing and Karate to Tai Chi and Kung Fu. It is a great place to train at for both adults and kids. A big, wide, clean training space with many tools to hone your skills and become your best self.

I have been in Martial Arts for over 60 years. My experience with Tama Martial Arts is incredible. Grand Master Taningco is and has always been a great inspiration to all he has come in contact with. I would recommend that if you have any desire for you or your familly to learn and develop a martial arts life style, or just learn to defend yourself and your family. go to TAMA Martial Arts Institution.

You will earn your belts here and get in good physical shape. They teach you real self defense and they don't keep knowledge from you if you are ready. Students with skill and who put in the required effort will move ahead at a good pace. If you a little slow or have injuries like me, they will patiently work with you to help you make progress. They help students of all ages. Expect to learn so much that your brain will be challenged more than your body. If you are you are young and have much free time, I recommend the option where they teach you several martial arts. However, if you have other responsibilities like me, you will learn enough to defend yourself just by studying a single discipline. The grandmaster will make sure that you get much value for the price. You will even get to work with the grandmaster himself. He spends as much time with the lower belts as much as he spends with the higher belts.

I’ve train under GM Tanningco for almost a year now. He is very knowledgeable instructor and well respected in the martial arts community. GM Tanningco and his staff are good with kids as well as adults. Very welcoming environment to train. I drive 2 hours one way to train at TAMA. I highly recommend.

I started doing karate at Tama when I was very young because it has excellent classes for a variety of martial arts and teaches everyone, from kids to adults, the importance of training and discipline. I now do Muay Thai and bjj and love both classes! Tama is overall a great community and place to train martial arts. Master T is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had and I highly recommend Tama to anyone looking into martial arts.

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.

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.

Returned to school after moving back into the area this year. I started in 1999 at TAMA and studied for several years before leaving the area but returned when I could for seminars and instruction. Master Taningco is still one of the best and most detail-oriented instructors for all of the styles he teaches. One thing about TAMA that has not changed in all of the years is the sense of family that exists at the school - Master Taningco prides himself on creating that atmosphere. One can see it in his interactions with the children classes which he excels at grabbing young students attentions very easily. He extends that feelings to students as they progress and train and become more and more part of the TAMA family. I'm grateful the school maintains this feeling and it is the things that differs from other schools.
