Testimonials



“Sensei Bryan, who I've known and observed for the last 8 years, is one of the most humble, yet extremely talented martial artist I've seen in a long time. His students exemplify perfection and are a true testament to his ability to masterfully articulate the internal and external values of his art. I am honored to share my very limited knowledge of "The Way" with Sensei. If you are fortunate enough to train with him, you will know that you've found a true teacher that lives and walks the path of excellence."

"Sensei Bryan is a long time friend and a great student of mine. His commitment and passion in the Filipino Martial Art especially in Pambuan Arnis Tulisan Caballero is second to none. Being around Sensei Bryan and his students makes me proud and humble because they are very professional and humble. Sensei Bryan Ratliff’s Martial Art of Shotokan Karate and Hapkido is superb and very effective in all aspects. Sensei Bryan is a member of Pambuan Arnis Tulisan Caballero Association Lolo Cinco Terro Program in a good standing. If you are looking for a very real Martial Art and self defense, I highly recommended Sensei Bryan, he is very professional and effective in the art."

Inheritor of Pambuan Arnis



"In my childhood years, I always wanted to study martial arts. I watched classes take place as my mother did aerobics next door. I took a self defense class, and really can only recall learning moves and not understanding the reasoning behind it. In 2004, I was held up at gun point at work. Things happened so fast, that my mind could not keep up with what was going on. I tried to think of ways to get out of the situation but failed. After a few weeks of mental recovery, I knew that I needed to get into a martial arts school. Not only did I need to defend myself, I soon would have a family that I would need to keep safe. In 2011, my neighbor asked if I wanted to take martial arts with her. I immediately said yes and we began taking classes at Tiger Society. I knew with my past experience with martial arts, I didn't want to just go through the motions, but to understand why. Sensei Bryan and Sensei Donnie not only teach you the motions but explain the reasoning behind it. You'll soon realize that you are able to recall things in dangerous situations. As a mother of four, I pride myself in joining this school. I love taking what I have learned, as well as experience, and being able to give it back to this school. This school is not only for young children, but for all ages. This school has many things to offer, I highly recommend this school. Not just for the Shotokan, but the Shinsei Hapkido, Seito-Ryu Iai-do, Pambuan Arnis, and Combat Kuntao. There is something out there for everyone!"

"Bryan is a very talented instructor, who has a good understanding of a variety of martial arts. He has a way of taking the best techniques that he has learned in various styles over the years and combining them so they are very practical for self defense situations. He is a very likable instructor and he has a very balanced teaching approach that is very contemporary but does not neglect of the traditional side of the martial arts."
