I have seen firsthand all the miraculous ways in which pouncing tigers and the staff has dedicated to teaching and guiding our little ones. I have also seen the importance of support and collaboration as a team, and the positive outcomes secured as a result of it. My Delilah has been with pouncing tigers for a year, and I must say it has been a huge change in the manner and behavior of Delilah. The constant thrives and motivation pouncing tigers feeds our little ones has a major outcome in how we discipline and drive our children. The help and support they provide is unconditionally, and I cannot be more grateful for the time and attention Pouncing Tigers and the staff give out little ones. The growth, and achievements Delilah obtain while in tiny clubs has blown me away. The way she focuses and drives to be the best, the black belt mentality we install in them helps them push and strive for better. Pouncing Tigers does not only teach self defense and martial arts but teaches and installs “respect, courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and Indomitable spirit.” The best part of my day when watching these strong motived little and big ones is the opening and closing creed. Hearing them recite this creed, hearing it come from deep down inside and so so strong makes my hairs stand and creates a huge smile on my face. The drive they receive reciting the opening and closing creed is the light in my day!!! Thank you, Pouncing Tigers, Master Gibson, Mr. Matthew and Mr. Elijah, for being amazing with Delilah and other tiny cubs!! We love and...

I tried testing another program in Harlem (MMA Kids Fight back) and what a world of difference in how they treat people! I called MMA to see if they offer free trials to prospective students (my son is 5) and the person who picked up claiming to be the “Master” of the studio replied “that parents need to be committed and that he’s been doing this for 30yrs, so is pretty sure he’s good” My unspoken reaction was like “no way in hell my child is learning from someone so devoid of basic manners”!
Ms.Deborah and Mr.Gibson were the complete opposite, even though they’ve got a lot to boast about. In any case, I made my decision based on the strong value alignment in addition to entrusting my child with a reputable institution.
Ms Deborah is such a humble, strong, kind, and lovely human being! The customer service desk at the West Harlem studio was packed when I came in yet she never lost her cool and took her time to explain everything to everyone with inquiries and treated everyone with respect and kindness. She’s a rock star and I am so very proud to be associated with Pouncing Tigers. I can’t recommend...
Read morePouncing Tigers is an exceptional martial arts school. Our son joined 6 years ago, when he was just 4 y/o, and has been attending classes ever since. Our family was new to martial arts but could not have been more impressed. In addition to the physical aspects of the program the instructors teach discipline, respect, and meditation. We've even seen fiscal and nutrition lessons thrown in! Our son's self-confidence has blossomed and he is now equipped with some wonderful tools with which to handle himself in any situation (be it the playground, or in life!). The Pouncing Tigers approach is truly holistic and Mr. Gibson and Mr. Alex are incredible role models and mentors (& they're like the child whisperers!). They have created a wonderful culture and the school is run with so much integrity and heart. We've also met many wonderful families through the program and I know I'm not alone when I say that Pouncing Tigers has made parenting much easier in our home. A huge thanks to the entire Pouncing Tigers...
