Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Waukee

"We are very grateful to Tiger Rock and masters Mr and Mrs Wood, for all the teaching they have given the children and our son! A place of principles and values! We recommend!"

"Our daughter started at Tiger Rock in Waukee when she was just 3 years old. Due to her inability to sit still or listen to instruction I was nervous, but knew we needed to try something before she started pre-school. That was 2 years ago, and I can't even begin to tell you how far we have come since then! It's been a complete transformation for our daughter, and as a result at home and school as well. Mr. and Mrs. Wood are amazing! Mrs. Wood works so well with the Tiger Cubs. In a gentle, and almost magical way, she is able to teach the children how to listen, focus, be patient, work hard to achieve goals, help others, have courage and most importantly feel proud of their successes. I've never seen my daughter smile as big as she does every time she earns a new belt. It's been an incredible journey for our entire family and we are so thankful we found Tiger Rock. I would highly recommend Tiger Rock Waukee to any family. It is an exceptional program that teaches wonderful lessons, provides an outlet for kids to be active and social, and is a comfortable and supportive place for families. Mr. and Mrs. Wood are wonderful community partners, and work hard to positively impact our community both inside, and outside of the gym. Thank you Tiger Rock Waukee for all that you do, and thank you for the direct impact you've had on our daughter. She is prepared to tackle Kindergarten this year thanks to the lessons she learned, and the confidence she has gained, through your program. - Kelly"

"Mr. and Mrs. Wood are the most dedicated caring instructors. If you want a place where your child/family can learn self defense, grow, gain confidence and be part of a team and amazing community Tiger Rock is the place. Our daughter has been attending the academy for almost 2 years and it's been a life changing experience"

"Tiger Rock Waukee has been life changing for my daughter. Not only did she find a school to teach her something she really found an affinity for, she found an instructor team that truly cares about developing people as well as skills. Mr and Mrs Wood, along with Mr Jennings, are great people and teachers, and have done so much to help our daughter on her journey. The belt levels give my daughter a constant goal to aspire to. Tiger Rock’s leadership program has given my daughter a chance to grow the skills she will need to be a leader in her future. While martial arts are an individual sport, there is a great emphasis on the team and building each other up. This is true at all levels, from the youngest tiger cub up through the adults. Our family feels very fortunate to have found Tiger Rock Waukee."

"Our daughter has been in the Tiger Cubs class for about 8 months now. Since she has started, we have seen her confidence increase and she has made so many new friends. Mr. and Mrs. Wood are amazing with all the kids, and have become like family to us. The facility is always clean.The instructors have great communication with the students and the parents. Our daughter asks us everyday if it is time for martial arts yet!"
