There were 2 parts to the Basic Pistol Safety Course. There was classroom time and range time. David and Joey was very thorough with the information that they taught during the classroom time. They did so good that it made everyone feel confident that they can pass the test at the end of the classroom time and everyone did pass! David and Joey was also very good instructors during the range time. We were able to shoot at different distances. During the shooting, we were able to pick and choose which pistol we want to shoot. I was very pleased that they had a Glock 19 because that is the pistol that I'm looking to get in the future and was glad that I was able to get a feel for it. Overall, I would definitely recommend them if you're looking to get into firearms! I'm for sure taking my daughter to them in the future when she gets a little older!

Traveling back home to Hawaii, I wanted to keep up with my BJJ training so I reached out to…read moreProfessor Eric and he quickly invited me to visit his gym...I think I may have found my gym away from my home gym. I visited Mad Tiger on a weekday gi class and am impressed - Prof Eric and three of his awesome students (2x blue, 1x brown belt) welcomed me with open arms. The instructions from Prof Eric were situationally based that I could easily relate and practice. Rolling followed and you can easily assess the quality of the gym and instructor by the way students roll, especially with an out of town visitor - they practiced restraint and control, instead of cranking down to execute a submission (where injuries can occur) or using unscrupulous (i.e. butthole) techniques, ensuring everyone was able to have a good grappling session. Located in a converted warehouse in a residential area, close to Wheeler Army Airbase (Wahiawa), MTA has the vibe of an old school academy with a great professor and students. I know where I'll be visiting when I travel to Hawaii.

The classes are methodical, detailed, safe and very engaging. The warm ups alone are interesting and useful for hip mobility in particular.

I look forward to continuing classes with Gary and eventually joining a group. Thank you Gary!!!

I just moved back to the island not too long ago. Our children are heavily into BJJ and my son is…read morean avid competitor. We checked out other studios around the island and I will tell you what, they don't compare to this one. My son did a trial and instantly fell in love with this place. Coach Jeremy, Pat, and Mike are some of the best coaches out there. They are the main three who teach and they have a-lot of color belts who help out. This studio is a growing studio and they are very competitive. They are very detail oriented and they ensure every kid understands the technique before they move on. For competitions they all show out and are extremely supportive of the kids. Christine is the studio mom who is also the owner and she is very professional and nice. Everyone makes you feel like family there and even though we just started, they welcomed us with open arms as if we have been there awhile. Our son's guard game got so much better since he got there. Highly recommended. The place is huge and the mats are huge as well. The place is clean and there is ample amount of parking space which makes it even better. They also host events the first Friday of every month to the island. If you're looking for a place to train, look no further. This place has customers coming from Kaneohe and Waikiki willing to drive all the way here. That should tell you enough about the business and professionalism.

From day one, both the students and the kickboxing coach Kurvon made me feel genuinely welcomed.

Supportive, humble, and high-level energy all around. Prodigy training center has a wide-range of students, from competitive fighters to kids, young, & older adult hobbyists (like myself). They also have Merch for sale & a cafe on the first floor as well for guests to wait while their kids partake in class.

Everything from the facility, equipment, community, staff members and coaches makes you more eager to come back daily. The facility and equipment is second to none. Having a downstairs gym for members to use, while upstairs, multiple training mats and rings and a variety of equipment to utilize while you train helps set their gym apart from others. They also offer quality equipment and apparel to purchase. From the sign up day I've felt welcomed, the sense of camaraderie and tight knit community makes it family friendly and always a pleasant experience. The staff members do a great job handling any questions and concerns you may have, making either starting or continuing as a member that much easier. Again making you feel welcomed. Each coach and trainer is not only more than qualified at teaching their martial art but, carries passion and love for the sport which I appreciate. You are able to join at any type of personal experience level, beginner through professional and benefit because of the standard they set to encourage growth physically and mentally. Lastly, if not clear already 10/10 would recommend for any future members, family members, and friends. Truly a great experience!
