“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!“

“I was there in training. I went to New Orleans to visit a relative and then I looked for a place where I could train and share a little karate-do, since I have been practicing it since I was a child, for 43 years. Since my arrival I was able to perceive the cordiality and camaraderie of the practitioners and sempais. Martiality is impeccable. The quality of the techniques they cultivate even more. It is a notable traditional shotokan dojo. I will be happy to return when I return to that country. I liked everything, the welcome of the group, the simplicity of the people, the clarity in the explanation of techniques by the sempai. A great place to train traditional karate. I congratulate your Shihan.“

“Dropped on for a nogi class while traveling for work. The gym was clean, welcoming, and the coaches were top notch. The techniques taught were advanced, but attention was paid to all the details and ensuring everyone at the class was following.Will definitely go again.“

“I cannot say enough about Tiger Rock. If you are thinking about studying martial arts, this is the place. It’s engaging, fun, and a great environment for all. You really feel like a part of the program.“
