Twisting Tiger Academy is a fantastic family oriented Kung Fu school. Its curriculum not only teaches the art of Kung Fu, but also enhances students’ self-confidence, self-discipline, and respect for themselves and others. I have noticed amazingly positive physical and mental growth in my child since he started taking classes here!

Twisting Tiger Academy is not only a beautiful studio, but Sifu Jimmy Manfredy and all of the students treat each other with the utmost respect and honor. If you walk through the front door, you will be walking into a second home that welcomes you with open arms.

My daughter attends the after school program. While there, she learns the art of Kung Fu, self defense, and self discipline. They truly care about all their students and they are very family oriented. Couldn't be happier with this Kung Fu Studio!

My 6 year old and I have been training with Sifu for the past 10 months. My son loves it. He learns focus, self discipline, self defense, and other life skills, while I've gained confidence, strength, and awareness. We wouldn't train anywhere else. Definitely family oriented. Glad we made the right choice for Wing Chun in Lakeland.

The Greatest place to train. A very knowledgeable instructor of Wing Chun Kung Fu and many many other arts. Also it is a very family oriented atmosphere which i havent seen before. I feel really comfortable training at Twisting Tiger Academy because i am able to learn more and train at a comfortable pace. I couldn't be more proud to be apart of this school and to learn the great art of Wing Chun Kung Fu.

Sifu Jimmy Manfredy is an amazing martial arts teacher. He is great with children, my two younger brothers joined with me too. I have been under his teaching for 10 months and have never wanted to leave. My friends and I enjoy every single moment we have been here. Everyone here is one big family, no one is left behind.
