Teaching is our Passion, not just our Business

At most martial arts schools, you receive a high-pressure sales pitch that pits your finances against the well being of your child. At Tiger Claw, we don't believe in long term contracts, only a six month commitment at a time, with an optional month to month program. Our philosophy is that if we provide quality instruction in an interesting, fun learning environment, you'll keep coming to class. It's our job to keep you interested in martial arts... and we use our passion for the sport, not a long term contract, to do that!

Our instructors participate in an on-going training class to ensure that they're qualified at our high standards - and able to provide students with the most positive experience in every class. The Instructor Training program gives anyone at the advanced level a chance to find out if teaching martial arts is right for them. It takes passion for the martial arts and the ability to share that passion in order to lead a class successfully.

Earning Your Belt

Everyone at Tiger Claw progresses through the belt rankings at a different pace. Much of that is based on the amount of energy, focus, and practice you put into your study. Taekwondo is for everyone...and our belt rankings are designed to allow individuals to test when they're ready. It is our strict policy that all students retain knowledge from their past exams, so our tests are cumulative. This ensures that each student represents 100% of the rank they earn.

Safe, Friendly Environment

Tiger Claw is located in Leesburg, VA on Catoctin Circle next to Subway. There's a fully stocked pro-shop with all the gear you need for class and our knowledgeable front desk staff is on hand during class times to help. It's a priority at Tiger Claw to provide you a safe, friendly environment to learn.

Separate Adult and Kid Classes

We have classes that are great for parents and kids who want to train together. However, many adults want to practice with other adults. We have separate adult classes for those adults that want to be paired with other adults during workouts.

Many Programs to Choose From

At Tiger Claw, students can choose from a variety of programs to study. We offer a full schedule of Taekwondo classes that include sparring, breaking, traditional forms, and weapons training. We also offer Koryo Gumdo (sword) classes. For those interested in self-protection, we teach courses through Tom Patire's CDT system. Our classes are in the morning, evening, and weekend to accomodate all types of schedules. Come to as many classes as you can for one monthly rate!
