Tenbears Martial Arts Academy

I enrolled my child with Tenbears after dealing with bullying. What I love about Tenbears is how they truly are interested in my child and his growth. Not only is he more confidant, but he has improved stamina. Each class is geared to bring out the absolute best in every student. The skills that are taught are so much more than just martial arts. They are skills that can be carried throughout their lives.

After researching several MMA gyms in the area, I decided to go with 10B after the 3 class trial special. The instructors are great especially Patrick and Oscar. They meet you where you are and give you great real world application and skillset. Good culture, everyone is really friendly and wants to work together to make each other better. Highly recommend!

I started coming here back in early February with no prior martial arts experience - in the now almost 6 months that I've been here I've been very impressed and pleased with how far I've grown in my skills physically and socially with the group of folks that train here. Coming in as a young adult female, I saw the practicality of learning self defense and have grown more confident individually and socially with those around me. I highly encourage other females who are curious about trying out martial arts or learning self defense. I've been working with the Muay Thai and Jiu-jitsu instructors weekly. They are incredibly easy to work with and push you to improve each session you attend. No prior experience? Not a problem. Nearly weekly you see new folks coming in and trying it out, everyone is welcomed here. I felt very comfortable and enjoyed the sessions the more I attended, thankful for the respectful and light-hearted atmosphere you will find here. Highly recommend :)

I have been training with Ten Bears Martial Arts Academy for 6 months now. The gym provides a friendly environment to train in for all skill levels and ages. Professor Jim and his coaching team provides fundamental and high level instruction in both striking and grappling. Improve physical fitness, self-defense, and competition training goals in a fun and challenging environment.

Was nervous about learning a Martial Art, that went right out the door as soon as I stepped in and met Jim. Friendly, welcoming, and professional. The coach for the Striking classes, Oscar, has been a great teacher. Through learning this striking art I’ve learned a lot about myself. Highly recommend. Good for the family, or for just yourself. You won’t regret giving Tenbears a shot!

My three boys have taken classes here since last year and really enjoy it; the coaches have been wonderful and really encouraging as well as challenging the kids to improve. It’s been great to see the different skill sets of the kids up to the adults; my boys are excited to get back into tournaments and watch some of the adults compete.

I have been training at Tenbears for over 5 years. Mainly I train BJJ, but have also trained off and on in the Muay Thai program. The coaches are awesome, whether you just want something fun to get into shape or you want to compete, definitely something for everyone. Tenbears is a drama free zone where many of us escape the craziness of life to become better versions of ourselves.

I’ve been attending TenBears for approximately 3 weeks now & these guys are amazing! Very welcoming & I’ve learned so much in this little amount of time! I’m excited for the future with them!

My teenage son has been training at Tenbears for nearly two years. The student-oriented way that Professor Jim and his staff run Tenbears is outstanding. My son is devoted to his training and now keeps begging me to sign up too because he wants to "roll" with me, a result of the tremendous investment that Jim and the other instructors make in their students. I'm extremely impressed and have recommended Tenbears to other parents in Dayton. Five stars

Great school ran by a well rounded professor. The staff and students provide a wonderful family environment. They make you feel like family.
