Tiger Crane Martial Arts and Fitness

Irvin is an incredible trainer. He is able to observe you during training and address your weaknesses accordingly and modify your training routine to achieve your desired goals. Would highly recommend him for everyone.

I had private self-defense lessons from Irvin Burton in late 2018-early 2019, and these were the very best gifts I have ever given myself. I learned both practical fighting/defense techniques and strategies as well as tips for situational awareness. Irvin is an experienced and ranked (black sash/belts) martial artist, so he knows what will incapacitate and cause serious injury to a would-be attacker. The opportunity to practice these moves against him, a big guy who knows how to inflict serious pain if he wants to was invaluable. Irvin gives real-time feedback exactly how the move would feel if he wasn't padded up, so that definitely helps to build confidence. I HIGHLY recommend his self-defense classes/lessons to anyone and everyone!

We hired Irvin to teach self-defense and self-protection to my daughter and her friends before they leave for college. They left the class feeling MUCH more confident than they were before the class, and that's thanks to Irvin's lesson planning, professionalism, and patience. The girls really liked that they were building skills and self-confidence in a friendly and no-pressure environment. I would definitely use Irvin again and would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends.

After searching for a Black-Owned Martial Arts School we came across Tiger Crane. Irvin is amazing with my 10 year old daughter. You can tell he really enjoys his craft. In addition to teaching the skills of Kung Fu, he also does Mat Chat with the kids, where they discuss the vocabulary word for the week. He works hard to teach the kids respect and discipline in every class. I am happy we found this school!

Tiger Crane has instilled in my son the knowledge of when to advocate for himself. My son was able to overcome this obstacle by using the tools and values taught in class. Along with the Martial Arts skills acquired, he is also learning how to become a honorable citizen in the community. Irvin is a great teacher and extremely patient with the kids.
