TESTIMONIALS
TAG TUCK
Such a great place! We have loved watching our son grow in his abilities and in confidence through achieving his black belt with truly world class teachers. Master Ma and Master Lee are both excellent at Taekwondo and excellent teachers - especially for younger ages. If you want some inspiration, come and see a black belt class - young and old - they are hard working, disciplined, and they enjoy being with one another. Our son has made great friends here. Can’t stop saying great things about this school...

This Tiger USA Taekwondo school is absolutely amazing. Master Ma and Master Lee are great with the kids. They are patient, kind and encouraging and make it super fun for the little ones. We cannot recommend it enough!

I cannot adequately articulate what this studio has meant to our family. Master Ma and Master Lee have positively impacted the lives of all three of my kids in such profound ways. This studio is the real deal. They hold each child to a high standard of respect, focus, and dedication which allows children to cultivate real self-esteem. In this age of participation trophies and false pride, it is refreshing to see children push through challenges and strive to earn something meaningful. The lessons they learn at this studio benefit all aspects of a child’s life and wellbeing. There is a real focus on technique at this studio, too, which I love. The Masters strike a perfect balance of warmth and authority, and my children absolutely adore them. I cannot recommend this studio enough!

Tiger TKD has been amazing for my two boys. Master Ma is great with the kids. Great balance of discipline and seriousness but also joking and playing like kids want to do . Highly recommend Tiger USA Taekwondo

My son transferred to Tiger USA approximately 1 year ago. My son’s prior taekwondo school unexpectedly closed; he (and I) was very nervous about finding “the right” new school. We came to Tiger USA to observe the classes. After spending only about 15 minutes around Master Ma it was obvious that he was a devoted instructor who was fully invested in bringing out the best interest and taekwondo training for each child. My son had a lot to learn -the belt system and forms were completely different. Master Ma was professional, patient, kind and encouraging. He is firm but fair and fun. He has amazing skill and talent. Master Lee recently joined Master Ma at Tiger USA. He is also skilled, a fabulous teacher and is energetic. They are wonderful mentors; my son thoroughly enjoys coming to taekwondo. In addition, the positive and respectful culture that Master Ma and Master Lee create is obvious in the higher belt rank youth. This provides wonderful examples for my elementary school aged son to see. Tiger USA has been a wonderful find for us- I highly recommend this school!!
"Our son started taekwondo when he was 11 and three years later he is a black belt and doing great. The training has taught my son many things. He has learned and used in his everyday life responsibility, discipline, perseverance, respect, self control and self confidence. He looks forward to class each day and has made many friends.
Master Ma is great with the children and makes class fun! Since we have joined we have gained a whole new Tkd family"

"Master Ma and his Tiger USA World Class TKD will be an excellent addition to the Charlottesville area. I had the fun privilege to learn with him on my journey towards second dan. RUN, don't walk to what I'm positive will be a very excellent Tae Kwon Do DoJang(school)".

"Master Ma is an excellent instructor and motivator! He has the wonderful ability to inspire his students. I was privileged to be his student during black belt testing and for 2 more years into my second degree testing. We hated to lose him but are very glad to see him and his beautiful wife return to Virginia. You have a one in a million teacher Charlottesville!"

"Master Ma is an amazing instructor that will always hold a special place in our family's heart. Our 2 children trained under Master Ma and learned the valuable skills that they still practice today. He is a wonderful mentor, trainer, and his martial art skills and discipline are second to none. We were sad to see him go and would gladly attend his new school if we were able".
-Missy Jackson Blackwell
"Amazing instructor! Master Ma's classes are always energetic! If I lived closer, my husband I would sign up today and I would absolutely sign my son for his classes the day he is old enough".
-Mallory Chappell
"Master Ma is an incredible instructor. He has integrity and passion for teaching. He is wonderful with adults and kids alike. Master Ma instills in the students the value of respect, confidence, focus and discipline but also makes learning really fun! My son started in Little Tigers and three and a half years later and many, many hours of training, he is now a Black Belt. The skills he learned in his time with Master Ma are priceless. Charlottesville is lucky to have Tiger USA World Class TKD!"
