We are now pivoting to tournament cycle and this one’s gonna be awesome! Load up on class time and train those skills at home so you shine against competitors from all over the Birmingham area.

Our Black Belts at Tiger Rock often get asked "how did you become a Black Belt?" The answer: once we started, we never stopped.

We showed up to class, we trained at home, we attended events, tournaments, and testings. We worked, we sweat, we lost, and we won. We challenged ourselves to dig deep & give it our all, and we delivered.

This week, challenge yourself. Show up to classes tonight & tomorrow and give it your absolute best effort at testing. Join the ranks of great students like like Philip, Dominic, Ethan, Beau & more. Dig deep, give it your all, and achieve that next belt!

See you on the mats tonight!

Martial Arts isn't just about punching & kicking. It's about building character & life skills that helps students become the best versions of themselves.

In our Tiger Cubs Program, we have what's called the "Successful Seven." These seven sayings are embedded into each class, allowing the students to learn valuable skills that serves them both inside & outside the class.

At each belt testing, Tiger Cubs are tested on their specific saying, so save this post! You'll be able to work with your student on their saying so they're testing-ready.

Don't forget to sign up for testing through the Tiger Rock App!

TOURNAMENT TIP: Stretching is key.

Take the extra time this week to stretch! Stretching after a warmup and after your workout prevents injuries, increases flexibility, and even decreases stress. Make sure you get those extra 5-10 minutes in, especially this week before Spring Districts!

It takes an extraordinary teacher to cultivate extraordinary martial artists. Here at Tiger Rock in Greystone, we're thankful to have the most extraordinary teacher of all. Happy 34th Birthday, !

Hey hey, guess who is 24 today!! Our very own Mr. Hopson!! Happiest of birthdays Mr. Hopson!
