“I remember when it was called art monroe taekwondo plus, it still set up same way best memories I have as a child was here in this building. so I'm sure if it's like back then I strongly suggest it, learned self defense, self discipline and respect.

“I truly believe this is the best gym in the city. Its my favorite place to be. My only regret is I didn't join sooner.“

“We LOVE NOLA Aikido! My 11-yo looks forward to every practice session. As a parent, I appreciate how family-oriented the studio is: parents are always welcome to observe classes and Sensei Brian is very attuned to each student's strengths and needs. I especially love the way Aikido is a practice of both physical and mental mindfulness and agility, and Sensei Brian uses lessons to reinforce concepts of self-regulation and self-awareness, in ways that relate even off the mat. The monthly membership is reasonably priced and functions similarly to a yoga studio membership- kids are encouraged to attend as many classes as they like! Overall, the studio is a warm, welcoming, and encouraging space- a true MidCity gem!“

Their attention to the members of each class is incredible. I look forward to seeing where my son goes on his journey. He is currently a brown belt at 9 years old and already talks of working at Tiger Rock to help train incoming students. This says a lot about Master Lee and his amazing staff!“

Other han learning one of the best martial arts taught by the best teacher,it layed the foundation for dealung with the hardships of life and all that it presented. This is what Sensei Mikami ingrained in me...confidence, discipline, values, character and the way to overcome all odds. It doesn't get any better than this. Never give up.
