The instructor is a former force recon marine, corrections officer and professional body guard... he doesn't mess around. I've been coming here since November and would definitely recommend these classes to anyone, especially women. With all the crime going on in Myrtle Beach, you have to be prepared for the unexpected - and that's exactly what you will learn here.

Some of the pictures in my review are of the instructor teaching the kids dodgeball with hand eye coordination and blocking. All the kids were having a blast.

Tina was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone felt comfortable regardless of their experience. The class was very professional, and I felt confident and informed.

I would recommend working with Tina regardless of your skill level for any of the classes that TMP offers.

He's an awesome instructor and knows how to run a business. He supports the community from law enforcement to women's defense, to fund raisers supporting the military. As with any business that has a monthly membership, it's assumed you're attending unless you cancel your membership in person. Even Planet Fitness requires you to cancel in person. Instruction-wise, he's had a number of students go on to win first place at the many competitions he requires his students to attend before being promoted to a new belt. You don't have to compete at all of the competitions, but you do need to compete at one. I'm good with this because a competition is the only place a fighter can fight a total stranger, which is usually the main reason a person wants to get into a self defense class in the first place. He teaches legitimate self-defense. This isn't an after-school self esteem building school for your kid. Whether you're a child or an adult, you're going to be fighting each other and learning how to put knuckles on foreheads.

It has been great to see my daughter gain self-confidence, get physical activity away from electronics, learn martial arts, and generally have "her thing" and "her sport". Adults of all fitness levels can get an appropriate workout, learn martial arts skills, and have a blast too. I am having fun, feel great and dropped two pants sizes!
