Martial Arts Lessons in Kettering - TAMA Martial Arts

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.

TAMA Martial Arts Academy is like a second home to me. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and if you can take the time to watch and listen, improvement comes quickly. With a variety of disciplines for people of all ages, it is definitely worth your time and money. Anyone who says differently most likely did not stick around long enough to find out. If you are motivated and willing to learn, this is the place for you.

My family joined Tama years ago and Still are very close to Master Taningco and the school. We trained there until my daughter was born with health problems and had to deal with that. This is a very good school for kids as well as adults. You are taught traditional martial arts and fighting technics as well as self defense. The staff are well trained and great instructors. Not all schools are dedicated to children the way Tama is. Many schools concentrate on adult training only. If you want your children to learn discipline and family values this is your school! Also, I read one review where someone was talking about GM Taningco’s experience and training ability , well all I can say is he has obviously has never put the gear on with him and went a round or two!

TAMA Family Martial Arts is a lot more than just learning martial arts. Grand Master Manuel Taningco is an encyclopedia on martial arts. He is very patient (I require a lot of it). He is very particular about executing the move we are learning that night in perfect form. When he works with the children, he makes sure the child is understanding their lesson. Not only does he get the lesson through to the child, he throws in a little history of the style they are learning. And martial arts doesn't even come to being all that he provides in the field of teaching. At one point in my life, I was not a good person. My character needed a lot of work. He is always giving me instructions on how to live my daily life (still to this day). He gives me a step by step plan, and explains the reason for the steps to be taken. Not only is he an excellent martial arts teacher, but he is an all around good person. Everyone on the TAMA staff is. If you live in the Dayton area, I highly recommend learning at TAMA.

TAMA has been a great experience! Since my first day, Master T and his staff make you feel welcome. The depth of martial arts in this school is incredible. If your looking for karate, Chinese martial arts, BJJ, Muay Thai or FMA...they have it! The school is very spacious, clean and well equipped. When you're there, you're there to train but at the same time can't help but have fun. Camaraderie amongst everyone is great, no gym egos here. But what is here is the emphasis on students to train safely and avoid injury. Its remarkable TAMA has trail blazed martial arts in Dayton since 1976 and is still teaching new generations! I Highly recommend TAMA! Two thumbs up!

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.

Very open and welcoming school. Multiple options for martial arts training, depending on your individual interests.

Master Taningco has the best classes around his workouts are fun exciting and very challenging I have been training for about 2 years and the muay thai and training at Tama it has helped me for discipline at shcool at home life and everyday life.

Our boys have been attending the after school program here for two years now and not only has it made things easier for their mom and I but grades have improved, self confidence has improved, physical health has improved, and they have made lasting friendships as well. We love what this organization has done for our us!

When my grandsons started only one of them had good grades and good behavior. By the next school year they all are on the honor roll and behaviour improved immensely! Thanks TAMA for the discipline and caring for my grandkids!! And oh yeah they learned Kung-Fu!
