This has been my first time training jiu jitsu and felt very welcomed in this space. Achilles and Jacob are great coaches and the team is very encouraging to those of all skill levels. Lizzy is also amazing and would love to see more female energy in the gym!
Achilles is a great coach! You can tell he has many years of experience and that he lives and breathes martial arts. He treats with you respect no matter your skill level. All of the students are friendly and willing to help others when necessary. This is a great gym I highly suggest you go check it out. He is also great with kids, giving them confidence to succeed.
Our wrestling team was in Portland last weekend for the State Championship Tournament. Unfortunately the weather decided to turn to a winter snow storm, and everything closed. Achilles opened his gym to the team where they were able to get a great practice in. The facility was clean, professional, and perfect for the team’s needs. Thank you for going out of your way and being a bright light in a very snowy and icy day!
My eight-person state wrestling team needed a place to train during last week’s snow and ice storm. We were warmly welcomed to train at Tigerstyle by Achilles. His facilities were clean, orderly and fun. Achilles was so encouraging and interested in my team members.
Due to weather, our State wrestling tournament was post poned, which left us needing a last minute place to get a practice in. Owner, Achilles, immediately agreed and let us use his gym. He was super encouraging and supportive of each of us. He was excited to see me and my other 2 female teammates walk in. He wants to expand the reach of wrestling, mma, and things of that sort to more women and children. Great place, super friendly owner, overall a good experience.
I started the beginner Muay Thai classes a couple weeks ago and I could not recommend it enough. Achilles is an excellent instructor, super cool and great energy. Thank you for the opportunity to learn from you! I left every class excited for the next one and what I would learn next. Part of the joy of this experience is found in how great the people in the classes are. It was so fun! I appreciate how willing everyone is to learn and teach what they’ve learned, the atmosphere is *chiefs kiss. Thank you so much to everyone I met and spared with! Truly a 10/10, I hope to be back whenever I am in the city again. I loved my time and will continue to take classes wherever I go!
It's been some time since I've trained so I contacted Achilles. He was very responsive and was happy to answer any questions that I had. Achilles was extremely welcoming and allowed me to take part in a trial class. Gym is team orientated and is reminiscent of the early days of MMA when people used to train for the love it and not focused on fame or money.
I was living in Portland for awhile trying to decide which gym to start my journey at an im so glad I choose tiger style combat sports. The classes are tailored for both beginner an advanced practitioners. Achilles and everyone were very friendly and welcoming and I highly suggest this gym if your looking to start your new years on the right foot.
I recently signed up for the Muay Thai and BJJ program. Coach Achilles is patient and puts a lot of care and attention into his classes. I am particularly impressed by the other students in the class, who in addition to being highly skilled, are also patient and eager to teach and will respectfully critique my form. The quality of the students speaks to coach Achilles's abilities as a leader and teacher.
This place is awesome. My high school teams state tournament was postponed a day and needed a place to practice. It took one simple call. The owner, Achilles is super cool and let us work on anything we wanted. Really chill and cool place.
