We offer all the benefits of traditional martial arts (fitness, character, discipline, etc) with a modern and personalized approach to training that lets everyone get the most out of our programs. Our $19 starter course is the best way to truly appreciate how our Academy can meet your needs, but here are a few highlights:
CLASSES ARE DIVIDED BY DEVELOPMENTAL AGE GROUPS:
We have adopted our class schedule so students learn in the best environment.
- Tiger Cubs (ages 4 and 5)
- Juniors (ages 6 to 11)
- Youth (ages 12 to 15)
- Adults (ages 16 and up)
NO TERM CONTRACTS:
Training takes time to produce tangible benefits, and we want to have a long term relationship with all of our students. However, we offer students the option of training on an open agreement so no one feels locked in to a term agreement.
MODERN TRAINING GEAR AND UNIFORMS:
The traditional white uniform has been replaced with customized Tiger Rock uniforms that look sharp and are functional for training. Adults train with bag gloves and advanced protective equipment that gives students feel of contact while keeping students safe.
FOCUS ON FITNESS AND SELF DEFENSE:
Our cirriculum is focused on the techniques required for effectitve self defense and development as a martial artist. This allows our classes to be a fast paced, comprehensive workout (including agility, strength, core, flexibility and cardio). We also offer KISADO, individualized a high intensity interval workout that takes everyone's fitness to the next level. It is not a martial arts class, but it does includes a bag workout segment for striking training and stress relief!
MORNING AND EVENING CLASSES:
The best time to train is the time you will show up! To that end, we offer classes in the evening and early morning to accomodate your schedule!
A FEW WORDS ABOUT MASTER OVERSTREET AND THE ACADEMY MOTTO
David Overstreet is the main trainer at the Academy and is an Alamogordo native who is proud to bring the Tiger Rock Martial Arts to his hometown. He is a Sixth Degree Master in TaeKwonDo. TaeKwonDo is a Korean martial art known for its powerful kicks and punches as well as its aerial kicks. He is dedicated to continued development as a martial artist and as a trainer under the guidance of Grand Master James C. Bailey. The Academy also has several adult trainers who can lead classes or class segments. There are also members of the Junior Honor and Youth Leadership teams who can assist younger students in class.
The primary philosophy of the Academy is found in our motto: Pursing Excellence, which means doing our best at everything. Simple principles guide us to being our best and achieving our goals. First, we must commit ourselves to achieving a specific and measurable goal on a set but flexible timeline. We can significantly increase our chances of achieving a goal if we have three types of people with us on the journey (those who have achieved the same or similar goal who can mentor us, those who share our struggle, and those who are looking to us to show them the way). These people are critical to our success when our struggles deepen and quitting is tempting. Second, we must actively pursue that goal and actively reject things that distract us. This is increasingly true in the digital age where our attention is continually pulled by easy options for short term gratification that we are told we deserve. We must reject those options and keep our attention focused on achieving our goals by making the required short term sacrifices so that we can enjoy true, long term satisfaction. Third, we must stay connected to the people in our daily lives that make our goals and lives meaningful. Without relationships to give our goals meaning, we will either lose our motivation or achieve a goal that no longer matters. Although it can be challenging in our most comfortable relationships, showing courtesy and humility to everyone may be the most important way to stay connected to people and to honor our most significant relationships.
