Mr. Rob’s American Tiger Martial Arts Academy

Mr. Rob is amazing!!! I was referred to him via Danbury Schools as a wonderful place to send my autistic son. Not only has my son loved every minute he is there but he has thrived under Mr. Rob’s instruction. I would highly recommend his program!!!

This is a review specifically for the kids programs that this school offers…
My fiancée enrolled her son a year ago in the program. I was a bit hesitant as her son, only 7 at the time, has mild autism and he can be a little much in the energy department at times. Over a year later, he just earned his orange belt and, truthfully, I haven’t seen him more focused than he is when he is at class. In fact, we liked it so much that my son, who lives out of town, was signed up for the summer program while he is here with me. He had previously taken martial arts and says that he enjoys this program and instructor much more. Rob does an excellent job with the kids, and focuses not only on martial arts, but on discipline and respect for each other, and themselves. He does this in a way that is effective without being heavy handed and over the top. For warm ups and stretching, Rob has the kids engage in activities, etc. as opposed to simple mundane and boring stretching and what not.
Definitely a great place and great program for kids! I would certainly recommend to any parent looking for something that will help their child or children with self respect, self esteem and physical activity, as well as martial arts discipline.

Poor program. Very unorganized –almost no discipline in the classroom. Students do not participate in competitions or tournaments. Only awards given are to students that bring in new business — the instructor «Mr Rob» calls out kids that get friends to attend and makes other students feel inferior for not drumming up business for him.
