This place is amazing! All of the instructors are great and very friendly. If your looking for a new way to get in shape this is the place. You can learn self defense and get the workout of a lifetime at the same time. I leave dripping wet and happy every time! I have a young son that i enrolled as well and he enjoys it very much. I can see the discipline and motor shills coming together nicely. If your on the fence, jump!! You will not be disappointed.

I started Martial Arts in the 70's and in the 80's after getting my 5th Degree Black Belt in Hua Kenpo Kung Fu from Grand Master Tom Garriga, I moved to L.A. and worked out with Danny Inosanto, Eric Lee, Larry Hartsell, Benny Urquidez and others. I heard of Manny Taningco, but never met him until 2016 when I moved to Dayton to work at Wright Patterson. I found him while looking for an Instructor for my daughter. When we met, we went down Memory Lane talking about the old school days and the different Masters we trained with. While Manny continued, I dropped out. :( TAMA Martial Arts offers various disciplines: Kenpo, Tai Chi, Kali (stick fighting) Mixed Martial Arts, Jiu-Jitsu and others, while offering a great class for children. My daughter had her first 5-lessons with Manny and then went into the group class with other students from White belt to Black belt. The instructors are very patient and make sure the students understand the techniques being taught. The lesson plan and promotion requirements are published, so you know what they need for the next level. The lessons completed are signed off by the instructors. Unfortunately, work took me to N.C., but whenever we're in the area, I'll make sure my daughter has her uniform, so we can stop in for a couple lessons. Maybe one day, we'll both get our Black Belts from Grand Master Taningco. If you are in the Dayton area, I highly recommend TAMA Martial Arts Center.
TAMA has been a great experience! Since my first day, Master T and his staff make you feel welcome. The depth of martial arts in this school is incredible. If your looking for karate, Chinese martial arts, BJJ, Muay Thai or FMA...they have it! The school is very spacious, clean and well equipped. When you're there, you're there to train but at the same time can't help but have fun. Camaraderie amongst everyone is great, no gym egos here. But what is here is the emphasis on students to train safely and avoid injury. Its remarkable TAMA has trail blazed martial arts in Dayton since 1976 and is still teaching new generations! I Highly recommend TAMA! Two thumbs up!
TAMA Family Martial Arts is a lot more than just learning martial arts. Grand Master Manuel Taningco is an encyclopedia on martial arts. He is very patient (I require a lot of it). He is very particular about executing the move we are learning that night in perfect form. When he works with the children, he makes sure the child is understanding their lesson. Not only does he get the lesson through to the child, he throws in a little history of the style they are learning. And martial arts doesn't even come to being all that he provides in the field of teaching. At one point in my life, I was not a good person. My character needed a lot of work. He is always giving me instructions on how to live my daily life (still to this day). He gives me a step by step plan, and explains the reason for the steps to be taken. Not only is he an excellent martial arts teacher, but he is an all around good person. Everyone on the TAMA staff is. If you live in the Dayton area, I highly recommend learning at TAMA.
Dennis Gonzalez Age: 74 Years Martial arts practice: 50 years Rank: 5th Degree black belt TAMA Kempo JiuJitsu Student of Grand Master Manuel Taningco Martial arts have been an integral part of my life for many years. My study of martial arts began in 1970 and in 1976 I achieved 1st degree black belt. By 1982 I rose to 3rd degree black belt. My journey took me from Milwaukee Wisconsin to New Orleans Louisiana, and finally to Dayton Ohio. Upon arriving in Dayton I sought out a traditional martial arts school. After trying a number of schools I was still not satisfied. One day, while reading an old karate magazine from the 1980’s I saw a picture of “Dayton’s own Master Manuel Taningco”. Having never met him but being familiar with his reputation, I put my suit on, grabbed my resume, and went to meet him. That meeting took place in 2002, and I have been at TAMA ever since. In the 12 plus years of attending TAMA, something new is learned every time I attend class. TAMA is a traditional school where a number of martial arts disciplines are taught. Each discipline has dedicated black belts who are second to none. All are overseen by Grand Master Taningco. Many schools constantly try to sell the fact that their style is better, and everyone else’s is inferior. At TAMA this is not the culture. TAMA is a very unique school which is respectful to all martial artists. Grand Master Taningco is constantly in collaboration with various other martial arts systems, as well as their leaders making sure that his teachings are relevant. This is the reason why learning at TAMA never stops. Grand Master Taningco is a highly decorated multi discipline professional martial artist who never stops expanding his knowledge. He consistently strives to get the best out of all students. This is why I will have a life time connection with him. Respectfully Dennis Gonzalez
