Twisting Tiger Academy

GREAT AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM MY SON LOVES IT.

Our family has been a part of this kung fu family for almost 5 years! I say family instead of academy or school or place because it is like a family. You and your children will learn how to be better through the principles of kung fu. You and your child will grow and progress like a family...having fun, working hard, making mistakes and sacrificing for others. Sifu and Simo are one of the hardest, dedicated people I have the pleasure of knowing. If you are looking for a kung fu family here in Lakeland, this is the place!

My kids enjoy it and I have seen great physical developmet in my kids. Their hand eye coordination and physical strength are better, and they are learning more about the importance of practice.

Twisting Tiger is simply the best!!! Our eldest son has been part of their after school program now for almost 6 years now (since Kindergarten) and our youngest son now in his 2nd year. They LOVE going here!!! Twisting Tiger preaches the principles and values that prepare the kids for success in every facet of life. Not just Martial arts. To say it's a family atmosphere is selling them short. Sifu and Simo Manfredy have been like a 2nd set of parents to our kids in the way they treat them and sincerely care about them. Our sons are straight "A" students who constantly get complimented on how well they behave and encourage others to do the same. They've been taught to lead, respect, defend themselves physically, psychologically, and verbally, and strive for excellence at all times. Twisting Tiger has been nothing but a blessing to our family. I've never met a harder working and more passionate family than the Manfredys. They have been and always will be a NECESSARY part of our children's lives. If you're looking for a place for your kids to learn Self Defense, Self Respect, leadership, empathy, work ethic and at the same time have fun doing so, then Twisting Tiger is the place!!!

Awesome environment for all ages. Super friendly, caring, and a great afterschool program. Highly recommend for anyone interested in anti bullying. Family run and very welcoming to all.

Kenzie has learned so much including self-defense, how to control her emotions, responsibility, accountability and respect. She loves this place.

My kid goes here and absolutely loves it. The owners are very professional and nice people. I was very nervous at first since this is my daughters first time ever going to a afterschool program that i had pick her up and transport and …

HIGHLY RECOMMEND TWISTING TIGER! This studio and the owners have made such a difference in my sons life this summer. This is his first year at this academy and we’ve already seen a significant change in his demeanor. He’s more respectful and even offers to help out around the house. He has gained a new respect for Martial Arts and wants to continue learning it. He really looks forward to coming here everyday and is so disappointed when he has to go home. We’ll be signing our little one up soon when he comes of age to join the studio.

This academy is amazing for children and adults! I’m always so grateful I found them. My son absolutely loves it; he’s gained so much confidence and loves learning with Simo and Sifu. He looks forward to his classes and even practices at home to ensure he’s doing it correctly. It is very family oriented and they make you feel like you’re just part of the family. Very serious place when it comes to learning Wing Chun but very caring with the families and students. I’ve always been a nervous person when it comes to leaving my kids in places or having someone pick them up from school but with these amazing people I know my kids are in great hands. 👍 give them a try you won’t regret it! 😉

My son's have been going here for almost four years now. The atmosphere here is one that has changed my son's lives for the better. The discipline and confidence they have gained has been instrumental in shaping them into the excellent young men they are today. This is a family run school that really makes everyone feel like part of the family. They care so much about their students it is refreshing compared to most martial arts schools we've been to. If you want to help your child improve in confidence, physical fitness, and integrity this is the place to come to. I don't often write reviews and almost never five star reviews but after four years I trust not only my son's with them but my whole family. If you don't believe me come in and find out for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
